Delivering @sprinkleanndsprout with @nikkidinki
This plaster mold of my dad’s hand print. It was part of an art show by Susanne Moss years ago and is accompanied by a tape recording of him talking. So sometimes I still get to hold his hand and hear his voice.
Being in Louisville for The Kentucky Derby was a dream. Thank you to @chefdphillips and @insideaquestion for being the most amazing hosts, welcoming us with open arms into their group of fabulous family and friends, and giving us the full Derby experience!! 🐎🕺💵

Getting a whole group of grown people to dress in a theme is really just playing dress up all over town with your friends! Thank you @nicehatlouisville@derbyologie@nittygrittyvintage & Pix shoes for helping us get our looks together. And @mayancafenulu for setting the dinner backdrop so we could perfect our Mime moves. I can’t wait to see us all together today!
Let’s talk about some tiny joys. Here are mine, what were yours?
Making music with @insideaquestion Also my full granny chic look and the sweet look Darrick gives me half way through this clip.

The absolute most touching thank you note from @weirdhauslouisville
What work looks like sometimes
Midnight! He is still searching for the right family to give him a safe and loving forever home. He’s also helping me learn that something doesn’t have to be “yours forever” for me to love and care for him.
Holding Poppy
A new quilt top for a friend
Wallis
Star magnolias blooming
Sunset in LA where it’s all sky and cameos of trees
This combo of colors and patterns
The geometry of a daffodils and the hope they offer us all
Daniel’s pink little paws
Poppy lying between the window and curtain…
Pear galette
The towel art @choctawcasinos and not just that they made me as a chef, but they also gave me a kitty for a friend. Very, very sweet.
@houseoffunkadelics tufting workshop was the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day with @insideaquestion Should we do one of the cats next time and if so which one???? And if you are interested Louisville you should really book a workshop!
Darkness wants us to forget about light, but we win when we keep fighting to see the goodness. What made you smile in protest? Here are tiny joys from my week.
The friendship of @aartipaartipics and @weelicious the kind that is supportive while also helping you grow.
The color of my pants against these tiles
Sweet, tart, crunchy blueberries
A raisin bun
Poppy curled against Darrick’s foot
Vintage tulip fixture with green glass. Swoon.
The packaging on @thereallittledebbie Valentine’s line of treats. The gingerbread are particularly cute
This face and the fact that he can pull off funky glasses
Throw Back @wheatiescereal box so simple, so graphic
The fire burning down and all the hours or warmth and comfort it gave
A rose tucked in with the blooming jasmine
Friendly little shape of this thrifted teacup
My grandparents sofa in our house
Mini golf date night
Sunrise
The exact fan blades we had in our room as kids. I loved that it was a white fan and the design looked like a golden butterfly. It made me feel like we had a princess room.
Leftover food from the opossums dinner. They had notes
Abracadaniel’s sweet trusting face
@insideaquestion shoveling the snow for the third time so that the birds can easily find the bird seed. Watching his kindness towards this world is truly a gift.
I think it’s safe to say that we nailed it… Who else tried to have a holiday photo shoot with their cats after seeing all successful posts on instagram? 😂😂😂
