    Today is my boyfriend Gideon’s birthday. Yes, I just said mine was 3 days ago. We share a birthday week. It’s nuts.

    I thought I’d plug his stuff today. This website instacanvas sells canvas prints of his art taken with instagram. It’s a pretty cool and inexpensive way to get unique art. Like his. He’s very unique. And fantastic.

    Go check it and buy something – it is his birthday after all!

    making this: litterbox redo

    By the time I am posting this diy, the kittens have outgrown this lovely litterbox I made for them. Jerks.

    Anyway, I bought the smallest litterbox the pet store had in this ugly beige. And a white shovel for it. Well they weren’t very cute at all! So I decided to spray paint both. I spray painted the shovel with a brass spray paint.

    Could something that picks up poop look any fancier? I think not.

    Then I drew this pattern with a sharpie. It was so ugly. So I spray painted it AGAIN and started drawing again.

    Much better! What an adorable place to take poops!

    eating this: strawberry basil fizz

    Today is my birthday! Hi!

    I thought a fun fruity girly drink would be just about the only thing I’d want to make this week.

    Strawberry Basil Fizz

    5 strawberries
    2 basil leaves
    dash of simple syrup
    champagne

    Combine all of the ingredients in a blender with a dash of champagne. Blend, and strain into a flute to quarter fill, top with champagne.

    Garnish with basil leaves or strawberries. I’m not huge into garnishing drinks, but you totally can.

    making this: diy striped beach bag

    I needed a beach bag desperately for Hawaii. When I was browsing at Michaels, I saw this cotton tote bag which is more expensive than the normal canvas tote but soooo much softer and comfier. I think it cost about $17.

    I taped it flat down and very tightly to a board. I also stuffed thick pads of paper inside so it wouldn’t bleed through.

    I didn’t really bother keeping the lines perfect because that would be impossible for me. And I didn’t care. It looks better this way!

    I only waited about an hour or so to peel off the paint. I WAS SO ANXIOUS!

    It came out just the way I wanted. I even got a couple of “where did you get that bag” compliments on vacation!

june was the most eventful month of my entire life june was the most eventful month of my entire life!?!!! 

we moved out of our house, had a going away party and said bye to all our friends and family, threw arlo an early birthday party, he finished 2nd grade, turned 8, and went to his first ever concert @alfredyankovic

then we headed to connecticut, patiently waited for the moving truck and now we just like LIVE HERE!!?!
today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’ today my baby is 8! 😭🤯 insane how fast it’s all gone, arlo has always been the funniest, coolest and most passionate kid of all time. 

a little walk down memory lane with some favorite arlo memories — purple guy, sand eater, chronic tripper, the most loving little dude. 

may you see all the sharks eating people, collect all the rare pokémon cards and eat all the orange pasta and soup dumplings your heart desires in life!!!!

greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe greetings from new england!!! still cannot believe we’ve officially left los angeles for the connecticut shoreline WHAT IN THE WORLD???

i’ll do a more in depth tour soon, but for now, this is it!!! she needs a looootta tlc but such good bones and a freaking killer view too. my literal life goal has been a gorgeous view to look at every morning and every sunset and i cannot believe this is real life 😭 

so grateful. so excited. soooo nervous to live in an old house. 

oh and yes for those worried about the children with the water yes me too— we got a latch for the top of the back door so they can’t go out without us and izzy starts swim lessons next week!? the previous owners had young kids too so i think we can live here safely! we also have a huge flat fully fenced in front yard they can play in safely!

need a name for the house!! it’s blue and it’s on a river… !? would love your suggestions!
the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arl the end of a beautiful chapter 💛 we brought arlo home here, we crafted our way through the pandemic here, we mourned our pregnancy losses in bed, we finally got to bring our rainbow baby home here, threw so many incredible birthday parties, so many beautiful dinners in the backyard, so many sweet christmas mornings, so many hours of mamma mia. it’s hard not to be sad while i’m also so excited, we made millions of incredible memories here.

arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER i was totally chilled on the execution. i had no energy or bandwidth to go ham like usual and honestly?? it was the most i’ve enjoyed a kids party i’ve ever thrown! 😭

arlo also helped so much, he setup the tables, he filled the goodie bags, he made the pokeball snack board! we stuck pokémon stickers on all the cups and goody bags and called it a day! 

and i outsourced the rest! insane (raspberry donut flavored) cake by @_midnight_sugar_, cookies by @fandjconfections and pokemon pizzas from @amecipizzakitchen !! 

his birthday isn’t for another week and a half but i’m soooo glad he got to spend such a sweet day with his buds before we leave 😭
