Went to the World Snow Sculpting Championship in Stillwater. Seeing art, especially impermanent art, from sculptors all over the world is inspiring. Reminds me of what we're fighting for. (I'm partial to the all women team from Aotearoa)

Thanks to @debfernandez4.bsky.social @pibbly.bsky.social (and myself) I was able to go to three stores to pick up stuff for the kids. I hope this brings some levity and lightness to their lives amidst the chaos.

My elementary local school is looking for some items for kids to stuff activity bags that can be grabbed quickly in evacuations. Can anyone tell me where I can get the best bargain for these (I know 5 Below and the Dollar Tree but I'm really trying to stretch my money cause we're broke too)?

I send good mail.
Naked branches of the trees Their vulnerable skeletons on display Lay stripped bare underneath a blue grey sky There's no where for their scars too hider No leaves to conceal their secrets The tangle of branches stretch outwards A lover, reaching for their sunset and sunrise Despite their frigid fingers or lonely sighs The winter sun catches on hidden depths-invisible , To those that are determined to get onto the next Person orseason or place or time We never were meant to be only cherished When we bud, blossom or grow or change into something colorful that perishes too soon We should be seen by those willing to stand in the cold. In the dark, not knowing if spring will come Trying to memorize our shape anyway.

They painted these little gnomes on these boards, and then hid them in eight different parks all over the city, and then posted clues to them online!!! Ridiculously cute.

if you are in St. Paul and looking for a reason to get out this weekend, you definitely should head up the gnome scavenger hunt that the Parks and Rec department put together. It was so much fun!!!

She could potentially love that. It's silk loop hung from the ceiling where she learns various wraps and contortions. She adores it.

I try not to get too racy on here in general but this is my favorite picture of me in 2025. I love the whole vibe. Here's to more confidence, more smiles, and always more sexiness in the new year.
