Since my miscarriage I have been ummm not great. While I might not get to hold my baby, pouring *all* of my free time into making something tangible for another baby that I love has been so incredibly healing. And I’m ridiculously proud of this completely unhinged, handmade, hyper fixation project. Who knew a felt busy book could cure my depression (or at least distract me just enough that I could keep going). Shoutout to my @cricut for doing the lords work and to @sea_penn and @itslandsmo for giving birth to the cutest bb ever who was my sweet chonky muse for this project. 🐣👼🏻💞 Felt baby busy book, hand crafted, kids toys, baby book, how to, diy

The atrocities in the Epstein files are nothing new. Protecting the abuser. Silencing the victim. This is who we’ve always been. But maybe our collective outrage, our refusal to look away, will be the one thing that’s different this time. Sending love to all my fellow survivors, and hoping for a different outcome than we got. 🩷❤️‍🩹🩷

Screaming, crying, throwing up lol. On Tuesday night I crossed a major dream off my bucket list: winning a @shortyawards for the very first PSA @goodcreative_ ever made. And then… we won another. And another!!! Our tiny-but-mighty agency was a finalist for seven awards and walked away with three trophies, plus gold, silver, and bronze placements in three others. It was one of those surreal, “wtf is actually happening?” moments that I’ll never forget. None of this would be possible without my fearless, co-pilot in the insanity that is entrepreneurship. The woman whose brilliance and creativity knows no bounds, who reigns in my ridiculous ideas (and has equally ridiculous ideas of her own), and who keeps the ship upright when I fall apart. @ninaojeda you are the reason we were on that stage. You are the reason this company is still standing. And tbh you are the reason I’m still standing. Thank you for helping build Good Creative into what it is. I love you and I’m so freaking proud of us. Endless gratitude to all our incredible clients who trust us with their stories. We couldn’t do any of this without you. 🏆 Winner, PSA

I’m still not sure how to move on, how to let go, how to grieve the perfect tiny human we never got to know. How do you grieve with no memories, no photos, no stories. How do you grieve the life you thought you’d have, the people you thought you’d become? I cling to the hope that one day we’ll feel ready again, because I believe you’ll come back to us. That you just weren’t meant for that body, or that moment. I believe that you’re up there with your grandpa just waiting for us to be ready so you can come back earth-side. To be honest, I don’t know what ready looks like. And somedays, like today, it doesn’t seem like we’ll ever feel ready again. But if that day finally comes, I know our incredible community and our incredible birth team will be there. Thank you for helping us navigate this nightmare with grace, kindness, and education. We are eternally grateful for you all. 💔🌷 @mindbodybirthla @faithforeverfree @blacknovadoula @physiodoula And thank you to @kilee.b.ink for helping us memorialize our little strawberry girl 🍓❤️🍓

Still not over the magical world @amoro_events @peony_moments and @lilaswood.floral created for our wedding. They plucked this whimsical, jewel-toned wonderland from my mind (and pintrest board), and brought it life, filling it with surprises and tiny moments of magic. Every single detail was designed to bring joy to the people we love most. From pink, orange, and green flocked velvet candelabras to a custom 10’ taffeta bow cascading down the château balcony… from a decadent photo call sourced entirely from Parisian flea market finds to a jewel-toned checkerboard dance floor surrounded by magenta toile, gilded cups of pearls, and chandeliers exploding with flowers… it was maximalist, it was magical, and it was us. More was more, and this incredible team delivered a fever-dream fantasy I’ll never forget. 🎀💒💐 Planning & Coordination @peonymoments Design @amoroevents Photo @erikagabalyte Video @dapalmafilms Venue @chateaudevarennes Flowers @lilaswood.floral Rentals @jolibazaar , @jani_solution_evenementielle & @velvetrendezvous Caterer @private_chef_georgewinterford HMU @jenlagers Bridesmaid Hair @am.coiffure Wedding cake @k_n_kakes Illustrator @amandinegrimm.illustration Dance Floor @rentaluxparis Manicurist - @mmdoesmynails Corset - @kimkassascouture Earrings @belleepoquejwls Custom Skirt - @folklore_dress_studio Ring @maggisimpkins Matchbooks @gbdesignhouse

For my 37th birthday all I wanted was to be surrounded by babies, board games, and a body of water. Thanks for making this trip around the sun so special, for the custom hot pink Catan pieces, and for engraving me a trophy for our weird little game cult. You guys really get me @aweewo @sea_penn @itslandsmo ! And a super special shoutout to bb Clay—too young for IG, but easily the chonkiest, most ovary-melting guy around. 🐣🎂✨

Not all deaths deserve mourning, and I won’t apologize for not feeling bad when someone so abjectly dangerous faces the consequences of their own policies.

Imagine being mad at me for not crying over a fascist’s death and I’m just out here bouncing on a trampoline in a hoop skirt at my own wedding. 🤷🏻‍♀️🎀🤷🏻‍♀️ Also the presumably liberal, white lady who compares his death to MLK. I cannot L😂L Film photo by the ridiculously talented @dapalmafilms

You reap what you sow. I hope you’re happy in hell with all your guns 🫠🇺🇸🙃

Snapshots from our ridiculously whimsical, incredibly extra, welcome dinner in the lavender fields. Because what do you mean I didn’t need to import flocked pink, orange, and neon green candelabras and organize a guest scavenger hunt on bow-encrusted hand written stationary? 🎀🤗🎀 Planning & Coordination @peonymoments Design @amoroevents Photo @erikagabalyte Video @dapalmafilms Venue @chateaudevarennes Flowers @lilaswood.florals Rentals @jolibazaar , @jani_solution_evenementielle & @velvetrendezvous Dress @leolin_official Shoes @badgleymischka Caterer @private_chef_georgewinterford HMU @jenlagers Candelabras @brown.and.ginger Manicurist @mmdoesmynails Ring @maggisimpkins
