instagramed: last night’s Quiche was a little more like a veggie pie (i could have been more generous with the eggs, but it was delicious. served with melon from a precut safeway pack because that’s what works this time of the year, especially on a rest day. and we tried Bundaberg sparkling Guava, on sale on World Market this weekend. yum! #kristineskitchen - on 4/19.

instagramed: i really loved the sentiment behind this (in the caption). you are smart and strong and beautiful and can do whatever the big scary thing is in your todo list today. (i commented on their post with the biggest thing on mine). - on 4/17.

instagramed: it says real feel of 43F but i swear it’s colder. it’s def chilly sitting next to 164th (busy #vancouverwa road) as the cars zip past. i had to pull out both pairs of mitts and a hand warmer! so glad to be on the bus now where it’s warmer, @ctranvancouver on my way to my destination. - on 4/17.

instagramed: this was my cute outfit the other day, and i’m still SO loving my haircut. layering up the lularoe #howirow a Carly with a Perfect and Shirley on top, and the jewelry that came from my #pandaprime box from @lularoepanda with that Perfect this month. also, my living room #boardgamegeek the whole rest of that Kallex 5×5 shelf is games; this side has some of the legos: things we both love. - on 4/17.

instagramed: oh my, the goodwill closet is all cleaned out! my mom and Leah cane to do the work, and i made some judgement calls. a few boxes are getting sorted and returned for a bit, but it’s a miracle. (yes, a #sixapart bag remains, along with wedding and bridesmaid dresses). time to rest till i must make breakfast for dinner. #declutterama - on 4/11.

instagramed: yesterday at the library, this #captainamerica stitch marker reminded me that he was pretty confused why he was still attached to a #wonderwoman bag, and so i told him, “Cap, all superheroes are good superheroes, Marvel or DC. plus, the other stitchmarkers in your set worked so well with the shawl, i know you wouldn’t mind sharing.” ahh, he understood, i know it. stitch markers by @misspurl – custom bag by @kitchencountercrafter – wonder woman wrap pattern by larissa browning, and is only like 15 simple rows from completion. 🙂 #zkteam😂 #zkteamlol - on 4/11.

instagramed: there is a fair amount of pollen on everything right now, dontcha think? 😳 #vancouverwa - on 4/10.

instagramed: taking time to be reflective. @blackrock_broadway fuels my story, even when it’s just inside my head. - on 4/10.

instagramed: i got a little fancy and even pinned up my curls for dinner out after gamestorm was over for E. a fun look for a day where i had a little more time to play 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 4/8.

instagramed: welcome to a new episode of the #yarnings podcast 🙂 live on youtube.com/kdlb now! #knittingpodcast #knittingvlog #wonderwomen - on 4/7.

instagramed: Near and Far #boardgamegeek first #gamestorm game. it’s part of the series of games that we’ve played before (Above and Below is the first of them, i believe) and this one had a story quest element to it that added a really cool twist i enjoyed. #fiberanddice E rolled a lot of ones at the beginning but turned it around big time. #bggkdlbnew - on 4/6.

instagramed: welcome to #gamestorm @gamestormcon 🙂 - on 4/6.

instagramed: i feel like you needed to see this view of my new hair, too. #stealthy #inthestacks selfies are what i should do between browsing at the library, right @van_library ? 😀 - on 4/3.

instagramed: these white flowers are so pretty, i had to get down close to take a picture! #vancouverwa - on 4/3.

instagramed: yay, there are lights on in the @van_library now! i’ve been following their saga of electrical woes this morning. glad i’ll have a fun place to come back to this afternoon:) #fvrl #vancouverwa - on 4/3.

instagramed: when cleaning a few weeks back, i found this box i was supposed to be sending back to chloe and isabel to get this necklace replaced. one stone had fallen out. i decided i’d try and see if i could repair it and got some glue at the craft store. it really works well with this LLR Carly dress from @lularoepanda . it seems to be staying in well so maybe i did get it in there good, woot! i love this necklace a lot 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 4/3.

instagramed: my mom had a cool assortment of photos on the mantle at Easter yesterday – both brothers on either end, me (smallest one – college grad), my mom. my mom’s dad (at my parent’s wedding) and my dad’s mom (behind the stone with the googley eyes) #geneology our way 😉 - on 4/2.

instagramed: goofin’ around this evening with my super cute new short-shorter hair (@hairbymakaylao outdoes herself!) after playing with a new lengthening mascara that has my eyelashes reaching new lengths. i had fun spending a little more time than normal at my makeup desk today before a family easter gathering. #girly #fancifulchatter - on 4/1.

instagramed: i took this pic friday in the middle of a busy day out and then collapsed in tiredness yesterday! i love this spot of the shawl. so tidy and beautiful geometric shapes. it has a little more work on it since then but the pic was too good to not share now 🙂 #wonderwomenwrap #wonderwomen - on 4/1.

instagramed: my #happyplanner week spread was slowly created this week. it was a rest week after last weekend’s awesome busy. so i put post-it’s for the events on Monday. and then added some stamps and wrote out the event titles tuesday. added some stickers wednesday. and filled in some blacks today. it just felt a little opposite my normal planning style, but it worked. it’s a good example that you don’t always have to do things the same way for it to work for you. progress, not perfection 🙂 #wycwyc the week! plus, i got some easter 🐣 in here, which was fun! - on 3/30.

instagramed: where the good light is in the mornings for filming instagram stories before the allergists opens for me and Esme 😀 it’s foggy this morning, but there’s just something about this spot that it always gets such much natural light. and i’m always here a good 35-40 mins before the door opens. 🙂 - on 3/30.

instagramed: we had a Nissan Rogue for the weekend (thought of you, @eszka_sedai and @csgaidin !) and not only did Esme the wheelchair fit nicely laying in the back hatch, but duel air was delightful! and pairing my device for navigation to go over the speakers was like all of a sudden, Ms Google (the name we call the voice in Google maps, as opposed to Siri in Apple Maps) was a voice from on high telling us where to go 😛 #guthgamestorm - on 3/29.

instagramed: Sleeping Queens #boardgamegeek is a cross between loveletter-like roles with a math game for younger ages. We got to play cards to wake up the sleeping face down queens or play number cards. littlest m wins and we made a mess at the end but you can see some of the cute cards 🙂 this was my last game for this #guthgamestorm event. only one i didn’t take a pic of was Crazy Eights! #bggkdlbnew - on 3/29.

instagramed: Jump Drive #boardgamegeek where the boys tied and i came in third. heh. i always want to play longer once i get my building engine going! #guthgamestorm - on 3/28.

instagramed: Grand Austria Hotel #boardgamegeek Owning a fancy hotel, attracting the best guests with baked goods and drinks and the right kinds of rooms and helpful staff are important! as are good dice rolls in this game. i bought this and i’m so glad i did, and we brought it with us to #guthgamestorm - on 3/28.
