I’ve got friends in high places 🚙🏔️

Sometimes it’s too pretty to care what the algorithm thinks of dark photos 🙃

Did you know that ‘McBride’ is code for ‘doesn’t finish projects ever?’ I didn’t until I married into the McBrides. Is this the new Cat Hell™️? Who could say. But I was looking around the house the other day and quite literally became so full of rage about how nothing was finished and how I should clearly try my hand at doing it instead so that it actually, ya know, gets finished. CUZ I FINISH PROJECTS cuz I’m a HAWLEY. So I picked an easy project WHAT COULD GO WRONG. Stay tuned for more! #renovationrealities #womeninSTEM #iwenttoartschool

1:14 pm on a Saturday

I made the best salad of my life last night 🥗 non-recipe recipe: From the garden: Mixed greens and spinach Fresh herbs (basil and dill) Carrots Snap peas Peas Stuff not from the garden: Avocado Dried cranberries Hemp hearts Toasted pepitas Feta Olive oil White wine vinegar Bougie salt And a tortilla cuz I’m Greek and I needed something to wipe the bowl down with and we’re out of bread Closely followed by gas station delicacies, for balance 💁‍♀️

Postcards from a weekend well spent ☀️🛶🐽 ps - tell me when you spot Milo 😉

But should I film a dramatic reenactment??

My new hyper-fixation seems to be cosplaying as a general contractor instead of going to bed (but no, I still haven’t finished the bathroom tile yet). I blame Cat Hell™️ 🙃 #womeninstem #handywoman

How DREAMY was my hoop house last year? 😍🌿 I am absolutely in love with the way the flowers cascade down the side and burst onto the ground. Growth is off to a slow start this year, but I’m so ready to see the hoop house in all its glory asap! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For all my non-gardeners out there, the flowers are nasturtium and are even edible 😋

Back before many of you joined the Cat Hell™️ party, I was living it up by *repainting* my primary bedroom suite which also happens to be one room of many many angles that contains roughly 37 outlets and is larger than any apartment I ever lived in. And why? Because the vibes were not right. So instead I sweet talked my fave paint co (@dunnedwardsdura 😘) into making a custom color for me based on my need for the MOST PERFECT SHADE OF BABY POO GREEN THAT ISN’T TOO MUSTARDY BUT DEFINITELY ISN’T OLIVE EITHER and et voila we have Big Moss Energy. Have I finished painting around the doorknobs? No. Do we have outlet covers painted to match? No. Is the closet interior painted? No. But the color makes me happy and now I just need to hurry up and paint the ceiling before Sean tells me not to for the 237th time (ahem @sgardnerstyle). Thoughts?? #bedroominspiration #bedroommakeover #greenpaint

Okay but two of three isn’t bad 👀 #ratemydog #campingwithdogs #adoptdontshop
