Personal

It’s all done, and it looks really adorable! I decided not to include the 3D glasses with it.

The fun has begun…opening to the first bag right now.

After lunch I’m opening this LEGO set and taking a little trip back to the 80s.

Building LEGO as an adult is oddly satisfying—the slow rhythm of snapping pieces together and watching it take shape.

Gizmo from Gremlins. Just have to remember… don’t feed them after midnight.

A Detour Through Butcher Hollow
Yesterday started with a routine trip to Paintsville, KY, for an eye doctor appointment. The news was mostly good—everything looks stable—but since I’m managing diabetes, I’ll be back for a follow-up in three months to stay on top of things.

Gallery Wall: My Spring Project


Oh, a gallery wall project as a spring goal? Yes please! I've had a collection of frames sitting around for years just waiting for their moment, and this is finally it. The plan is to fill up an entire wall in my living room — different sizes, different shapes, all the things — and I want it to feel warm and fun and so very me.

One tip from this article that I thought was clever: arrange everything on the floor first, trace your frames onto kraft paper, then tape it to the wall as a guide before you hammer a single nail. No more walls full of accidental holes!

Can't wait to get started! 🖼️
