class="content__text" I may not be able to go to Ocean City, MD this summer but I can still make my favorite drink at home! 🍊 Have you ever had an Orange Crush? They are sooo good and even easier to make! I’m going to pop the link to the recipe in my stories so head there to grab it! 🔼 What’s your favorite summer drink?

class="content__text" We should have named this dog Eddie Haskell. He is the rascal-iest of puppies. 🤦‍♀️

class="content__text" It feels like it bruises your soul to watch the news, to see how people talk to each other on social media, to still hear people trying to defend why racism is not a big deal or not an issue. I’ve heard so many Black people share stories in the past couple of weeks about normal, daily things that I take for granted that go horribly differently for them. And then I see the white person come in with their “yeah, but...” There is no but. We need to acknowledge their pain, not try to brush it aside or explain it away. There is so much beyond our control right now, but our actions and words are still within our control. Let’s speak out of empathy and a desire to understand, not a need to be right.

class="content__text" Just over here trying to give you an excuse to watch more TV! 📺 🤷‍♀️ Made some Friends-inspired cork boards using my Cricut for a graduation gift and now I’m ready to binge watch! . #friendsquotes #friendstvshow #friendswisdom #joeytribbiani #cricutmade #cricutcrafts #heattransfervinyl

class="content__text" 9 MONTHS!! 😳 It takes a special kind of talent to drag a project like this out for 9 months! I stripped the top of this table in September, and then promptly put a shower curtain and tablecloth over it and never touched it again until February. 🤷‍♀️ In Feb., I decided I would never tackle the legs myself so I paid someone $160 to strip all the black paint. Money well spent?! I don’t know and I don’t even care at this point. 🤣 If you haven’t been following my table saga, you can find the backstory in my highlights. But today I’m calling it done. It’s not exactly what I wanted but it’s close enough and it’s better than it was. The table really was in bad shape and the top was in desperate need of refinishing. I was hoping it wouldn’t have quite as much black tint left behind (see final slide for proof), but I’m over the whole thing. We’re happy to have our table back, I’m thankful for ALL the advice I was given and I hope I never have to refinish another table with so many curves! 🤦‍♀️ Now tell me about all your projects that haven’t gone as planned so I can console myself! 😜

class="content__text" #quarantinebaking is alive and real in this house and bananas seem to be leading the crusade! These banana chocolate chip muffins were devoured fast which only means we need to make some more tomorrow. A day without one is a day too long. 😢 What’s happening in your kitchen? Anything I need to try??

class="content__text" Easter will look quite a bit different this year as we all stay at home and follow social distancing guidelines (PLEASE STAY AT HOME!) 🐰 But that doesn’t mean you can’t still put together a fun holiday celebration for your immediate family! My sister wrote a poem for young kids related directly to the “uniqueness” of this year and I made up some scavenger hunt clues to keep them busy! Click on the link in my profile to print them off for free!! 🐣

class="content__text" At least I’m excelling at something lately! 🤣 Honestly, though, is there anyone out there who isn’t overthinking lately?? Beuller, Beuller?? Share your best secrets for staying distracted!

class="content__text" Imagine a plot to a movie where a vicious enemy was sweeping the world and you’re only job to help save others was to stay home. Easy, right?! Like sign me up right now if I can help save lives and get things back to normal by staying inside the comfort of my own home. THIS IS LIFE RIGHT NOW!!! Your role is that simple. Stay home, keep your kids home and wash your hands. 🤷‍♀️ The people following these orders aren’t doing so out of fear or because we’re sheep. We’re doing it out of a sense of personal responsibility because IT COULD SAVE LIVES!! I don’t know, guys. I could put some poetic, flowery message about the importance of this, but I’m kind of just feeling exhausted by it all. It’s such a simple request. #stayhome #stayhomeblackout #togetherathome #stayhomechallenge #stayhomestaysafe
