I came across these pictures at my mom’s house last week. I was only about 1–3 months old in them, and today I turned 58.

And whew… that baby girl had no idea. 😂

No idea about the people I would love, the people I would lose, the places I would go, the mistakes I would make, the lessons I would learn, or the number of times life would make me stop and think about what really matters.

I’ve had some wonderful years, some hard years, and more than a few moments when life could have gone very differently. I survived them all, and being here at 58 is something I don’t take for granted.

At 58, I’ve learned that taking care of myself is about the whole picture. My peace. My joy. My relationships. My rest. My faith. My laughter. Giving myself grace, protecting my energy, and realizing that everything does not deserve a reaction.

I’m still learning. Still growing. Still changing. Still trying new things. Still laughing. Still asking questions. Still figuring some things out. And I’m okay with that.

I don’t need to have everything figured out. I just want to keep living, loving, learning, growing, enjoying the people I love, taking care of myself, and being open to whatever this next chapter brings.

So today, I’m grateful.

Grateful for the beautiful parts, the difficult parts, the lessons, the detours, the second chances, and all the little moments in between that made me who I am.

And looking at these pictures now, all I can say is…
Girl, you had NO idea. 😂❤️

But you made it.

Happy 58th Birthday to me. 🎂❤️

Gardening keeps you humble and grounded.

Sometimes the wildlife wins. Sometimes you do.
The squirrels got the corn. We got the 31.5-pound watermelon.

I'll call that a win!

🌿 Luffa Experiment... Gone Sideways. 😂🍉

So... ya'll remember that little luffa experiment I decided to try?

Yeah, well... it went sideways. Literally.
I had no idea those vines would get this big or this heavy. They actually snapped my garden arch! 🤦🏽‍♀️
And if you look closely, there's one little cucumber in the middle of all that luffa like, "Hey y'all... don't forget about me!"

The rest of the garden has been showing off too... Peppers are coming in. 🌼 Buzz buttons are blooming. My Barbados cherry is finally flowering, so cherries are on the way...And don't sleep on that watermelon... I'm over here checking on it like it's my firstborn. 😂

And to top it all off... I get this text from my husband. 😂➡️ Swipe to the end.

Sir... before you start making new garden rules, let's talk about how you walked right past those two bat-sized zucchini. Twice. 🤣🌱

A few years ago, I had a cocktail at that really stuck with me—the Drunken Buddha. It wasn't the alcohol that made it memorable. It was the experience.

So I recreated that experience...zero proof.

Homemade lemongrass-ginger syrup, fresh lime, lychee, coconut water, botanicals, plus mint, cucumber, and buzz buttons from my garden.

Crafted. Not copied. 🌿🍸

Every year I like to grow something fun and a little different. This year's pick? Buzz buttons (toothache plant). 🌼

They give you the coolest tingling sensation and are a fun addition to craft cocktails and zero-proof drinks.
Now that I have my own growing, it's time to recreate the Drunken Buddha! 🍹🌿

No tough love today… just tuft rugs, lots of CREATIVE chaos, and enough YARN on the floor to make a whole second rug. 😂✨

Mother’s Day Stop #1 💐
Popped into for a perfume-making workshop experience — a little creativity, a little luxury, and a whole lot of beautiful scents.

We came out smelling like good decisions and expensive taste. ✨

When green meets red, the moment becomes the meal.
Slow food. Soft sips. Full circle.
Unpolished. Deeply flavorful.
