Family shenanigans!! This is a variety channel. We used to run a cookie business out of our home, so we have tons of decorating videos. Nowadays we commonly share a lot of gardening, fitness/nutrition, home DIY projects, and some toy unboxings.

I’ve been building this witch prop piece by piece and can’t wait to show how I’m planning to suspend her midair on a broomstick. For now, here’s a sneak peek.

Stay tuned for the full reveal 👀

I’ve nearly devoured this whole dozen of protein pumpkin muffins I baked over the weekend. They taste so damn good and come in under 200 calories each with 13.5g of protein. Plus, I’ve been able to maintain my weight post-bulk on around 3,000 calories a day, which feels like a win. Check out my recent video if you want the recipe:

In other news, I’ll be making a bunch of new Halloween props and decor for the front yard over the next few weeks. I’ll document what I can. I’m stoked! Stay spooky. 🎃

Writing a novel is no joke. This week l've been wrestling with my inner gremlin, learning to write badly, and reminding myself that even small word counts move the story forward.
If you want to read more of my writing outside the novel, like short stories, personal essays, or my first newsletter, you can find them on my Substack, The Dark Petal.

The Mad Scientist

This year l've felt like a mad scientist in my creative lab, running too many experiments at once. Some bloomed, some exploded, and one nearly fizzled out completely.
My new essay, The Mad Scientist, is about ambition, burnout, and learning which creations deserve to live.

I had so much fun writing this one and loved the photos. Huge thanks to Armando for going along with my crazy ideas and for his amazing photography skills.

🌶️ Garden to bottle. Every pepper in these hot sauces came straight from our backyard. Ghost, scorpion, habañero, & jalapeño. Proud of these!
