Oh, it’s not the Cécred brush—I picked up this one yesterday after watching a Naptural85 review. It worked great in Bee’s hair this morning, so mine is next.
Just finished reading one of Bee’s favorite books, so now seems like a good time to inform any new followers (and remind the old ones) that I do NOT f*ck with antisemites.
Mommy Update: Bee just received her first free book from THEE Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library! 🥰 It’s an awesome program for teeny tiny people from ages 0-5–check out the link below! imaginationlibrary.com
Anyway, I’m actively growing my hair out again. It grew a TON while I was pregnant with Bee—this pic is from her Christening last spring—so I want to take advantage of the growth I get this time around.
One of my favorite moments ever—just so damn wholesome! 🥰 Happy #ObamaAppreciationDay !
Is it essential? Is it essential to literally slow our children’s development and blunt their growth? I repeat: THEE dumbest timeline.
This is what I’m up against as a parent. The school systems actually lists CREATIVITY as a reason to integrate this crap into classrooms. I could scream. We’re going to end up going broke sending Bumble and Bee to private school, because there is no way in HELL…
Oh, and he and Alan Menken were also responsible for this little gem.
Howard Ashman was the architect for Disney Renaissance—more than a lyricist, he was a key part of both films’ productions. Beauty and the Beast is dedicated to his memory. I will literally never get tired of talking about Ashman. He was, in a word, amazing. Check out this doc on Disney+. 🏳️🌈
I’ve been attacked by a sudden wave of ‘90s nostalgia. These kids don’t know what they’re missing.
It’s hilarious lol. I told Tuxedo Mask a few days ago to stop fighting it—she’s waited all her life for this moment.
I did a post and my chubby fingers (the hand swelling begins!) accidentally deleted it, which—BLERGH. ANYWAY, I decided to take my new book outside because preggos gotta move around every two hours, and it’s sooooooooo good! I feel so seen!🥹
I’m surprising Tuxedo Mask on Father’s Day with a vinyl of this 🔥 Quincy Jones and Barry White collab that we’ve been lowkey obsessed with for like three years. Also gonna make him a collage (possibly in collaboration with Bee). I nailed it. 😉
Look what arrived over the weekend while I was nerding it up doing anime things with Tuxedo Mask and Bee! I’m soooooo ready to dig into this book during my lunch break—especially since I’ve got another baby on the way! Thanks @rachaelsmith.bsky.social ! 😊
Just finished the final (?) episode on Netflix. It’s an amazing historical drama, and to avoid any spoilers I will simply state that in the Japan of this timeline, the shogun is a woman.
