Committed to self-improvement and helping others along the way!

To the women who command the dark with grace, who To the women who command the dark with grace, who soothe beasts both small and wild, and who keep their homes stitched together with whispers and willpower, today we nod our heads and light the candles in your name.

You are the quiet storm, the shadow that comforts, the mistress of bedtime chaos and morning resurrection. Your hands feed the living, tame the tantrums, and carry the weight of a thousand tiny needs, all while keeping your lipstick (mostly) intact.

Motherhood is a beautifully haunting devotion. It requires ritual, sacrifice, a flair for theatrics, and perhaps just a touch of madness.
Especially when your brief moments to yourself are always interrupted by a scream from another room.

So draw your bath. 
Wear something that flows. 
Let the world spin without you for a moment.

You are seen. You are loved, adored, deeply respected, and maybe just a little feared.

From one Momster to another, stay powerful, darling.
Blessed Beltane. The fires of summer rise, and wi Blessed Beltane.

The fires of summer rise, and with them comes a quiet invitation: to pause, to plant, to burn bright.

This season marks a crossing. A shift from stillness into motion, from tending into becoming. In many old ways, it was a time to walk between flames, to release what no longer serves, and to step forward with renewed purpose. Some scatter seeds. Some light candles. Some simply breathe and begin again.

However you honor this turning, may it bring light to what you’re growing and strength to what you carry. May you find grounding in the earth beneath you and guidance in the sparks that rise above.

To fire. To earth. To what calls you forward.

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that my w Anyone who knows anything about me knows that my whole life, there’s only ever been one celebrity I truly looked up to and loved, and last night, I got to not only meet him, but actually hang out with him. I had the honor to experience a short private concert by @dogstarband before their show, and most importantly, I got to tell him how much he has meant to me.

Any stories you’ve heard about Keanu Reeves being kind, humble, and down to earth- I can tell you firsthand, if anything, they’ve been watered down. He’s every bit the incredible human being people say he is, and more. And it wasn’t just him, the whole band was just as kind, fun, and welcoming. They genuinely took the time to make the night special in every way.

The video I’m posting is from the full show later that night, I don’t have any footage from the private concert or my time with the band, since it wasn’t appropriate to record. They did take professional photos during the private event though, and I’ll be receiving those in a week or so.

As for the concert itself, it was absolutely amazing. Dogstar is incredibly talented, and in my opinion, they sound even better live. You could feel the energy; the whole audience had the best time. If you ever have the opportunity to see them live, do it!

It’s a night I’ll never forget.

Thank you to all the staff at @galloarts and the Soundcheck crew who took such great care of our little group. You were all amazing and so much fun to hang out with. And to all the other VIPs I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with- we were truly lucky to be part of something so special together and I so enjoyed your company.
Gene Winfield was a legend in custom cars, known f Gene Winfield was a legend in custom cars, known for his signature paint fades and wild metalwork. He built iconic hot rods, sci-fi movie cars like the Blade Runner 
Spinners, and concept rides that pushed boundaries. But to me, he was also the last love of my Gran’s life. 
I’ll always remember how young, beautiful, and full of life he made her feel. 
Even in his 90s, he was still hands-on, shaping the scene and the lives of those around him until the end. Rest easy, legend. 🤍

A fixture in my life since the beginning of my adulthood.
She may be gone, but she’s reunited with her babies now. 
My heart is undeniably heavy, but I’m at peace knowing she had a full and happy life. 
I’m grateful that I was able to hold her until the very end. 
I wouldn’t have had it any other way. 

Rest easy Mama Rawrr. 
Until we see each other again.

Three years ago, my birthday twin @classycarli and Three years ago, my birthday twin @classycarli and I did this photoshoot to say goodbye to our twenties. 
Due to some life events at the time, I never truly got around to sharing all the photos and the amazing fun we had. 
So I wanted to post this to give it that little moment to shine. 
I’m a day late, but happy birthday to us. I love you and thank you for always being by my side, and raising hell with me!

Normalize people feeling comfortable enough to sha Normalize people feeling comfortable enough to share their accomplishments without calling it “boasting” or “showing off”. 
Theres nothing wrong with being proud of your progress and wins. 
If you’ve had success and growth, just know I’m so happy and proud of you and you can always count on me to cheer you on. 
Share away and be the light in this world, there’s enough dark.

Last night my dog Fable dragged a bone out from un Last night my dog Fable dragged a bone out from under the house. 
Having some experience with anatomy, my mom and I could tell it was a femur, but we couldn’t tell for sure if it was an animal’s or not. 
Today, I reported it to the police and they came out. 
They took a look, and said that they would need to get some more opinions, because they also could not rule out if it was human or not. 
While we waited for the other officers to come, they took a look where we think Fable found it, and asked some questions.
More officers came out and said they also couldn’t identify it for sure. 
So.. then some detectives came, and I waited inside while they examined it more. 
After a while, they finally came back and said they were sure it was an animal bone, but it had them concerned for a minute too. 
I told them I don’t feel too silly then, if it stumped them as well. 
I’m so glad it wasn’t someone’s loved one buried under there, and that my house didn’t turn into a crime scene. 😅😮‍💨

Melody had her Kindergarten Promotion Ceremony tod Melody had her Kindergarten Promotion Ceremony today!

Homeschooling through her Charter School has been the best decision, and they made today such a fun and special day for all the kiddos in her year. 

I will admit, when I was younger I felt these kindergarten graduations were a little silly. 
Now as a mom watching how proud her little baby was to cross that stage and celebrate her year of hard work, I was quite emotional and grateful for this memory. 

She’s done amazing, and finished her curriculum early with top grades. 
This Mama and her whole family are so proud of her. 

She had a wonderful time, made some friends and got to see her ES Amber (our Education Specialist teacher who guides us until she graduates high school).

We then took her out to go bowling and celebrate her accomplishments. 

Congratulations Melody!
