Magic wand

I've had a "magic wand" for years now. After picking it back up everything sorta just...clicked. Bipidebopadeboop.

I'll post a video soon. Nothing like watching magic in the act!

Flirty Birdie

Aerial has been a journey. After getting my foot ran over I became so behind. Depressed thinking I'll never get my abilities back. 

This past week has finally shown progress.

Above is a pose we call "flirty birdie". With any pose, it's exciting when you find your own form and style. Cross of the legs and open hands gives it just the right touch to create the flirtiest of birdies. 

Send n00ds

Recently I've taken interest in zines. Etsy home page suggestions kept throwing them in my face. One day a particular one caught my eye. So clever, so literal. 

"Send N00ds"

A drawing collection of exquisite noodle dishes garnished with a sexy female. 

My favored n00d[le dish] shown below

Spoke with the artist Rebecca (of BeccaMadeSomething) about how to create a zine.

"My tips to you would be to pick a topic you like—like a lot—and draw and draw and draw. Draw the good ideas and the bad ideas and the batshit insane ideas. Everything you make has value. Even bad work can teach you things." 

Personally I'm more of a writer than a drawer. Questioned how one includes text without it becoming simply a book.

"A zine can have only words and be a zine. A zine can only have pictures and be a zine. The zine is the format through which you share what you want to share. And if anyone gets up your butt about your content, just ignore them. The opinion of a turd is useless"

Rebecca did not, and still does not know me. Yet was kind enough to open up personally. Explained with passion how I can enjoy creating a zine of my own.

Keep updated, as she will be releasing more soon!

Babysitters Club: Tea Party

Toddler girls love to tea party. 

Every little girls toybox always includes a magic wand, Barbie's, and a tea party set. You can't go wrong having such a sophisticated event with a munchkin. Makes them have a sense of maturity and more mindful. 

So bust out the real tea.

They don't mind the taste as much as the fact real tea is being served. 

Ohh, and don't forget some lil crumpets. 

What tea is best to use with children?

Whelp. Aim away from caffine.
Aside that, best tasting...

• Chamomile Tea
• Jasmine Tea
• Ginger Tea
• Peppermint Tea

Nanny reunion

Just before Lil Micaela, I nannied for two toddler sisters. Ones I had the real tea party with.

Continue occasional care for the youngest. 

The other day I had the honor, first time in awhile.

She got a cat

Still learning how you hold it....

5-years-old now! 

Voice has slightly changed, she conversates with more understanding.

...because she's a kid now. 

A favorite acrobatic pose I enjoy doing with toddlers. 

Still the same ole' munchkin as I remember though! 

Does anyone else love these NASA shirts that have popped up? 

While dressing her in the morning I said I was going to get one and wear it next time I see her. 

...I bought a NASA shirt...on the way home. 

Funny part is, I had no intentions to go search for one. Stopped at Target to kill time and browse the dollar section and get my man spray paint.
