Still crying over the fact that I only realized today that my birthday plans this year consist of doing my taxes hahahahaha 😭

Isaiah has recently become obsessed with Pokemon and it’s the first time I’ve actually seen him want to bring a stuffed toy everywhere with him. We started with Charmander, but of course we had to get him more… (However, I think Gengar is his favorite Pokemon at the moment!)
Was holding a container of blueberries at the grocery store this morning, and as I went to pay, I popped the lid open and spilled blueberries everywhere. I think that’s a fair representation of how well I’m holding everything together today 😭
Been playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure so much Joe has to ask me to lower the brightness on my Switch so he can sleep. Whoops.
My second loaf turned out pretty OK! Such an investment of time, but seems like Joe and Isaiah are enjoying being my test tasters hehe.
It has been an insanely busy past few months! Exhausted but feeling so so happy and honored to be a part of this journey in celebrating 25 years of The Sims. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go play the original and relive my childhood. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/a...
25 Years of The Sims Turning Players Into Gods
As the virtual dollhouse turns 25, the game designer Will Wright explains how The Sims was a sandbox for the American dream.

Distracting myself by attempting to learn how to make sourdough bread.
I'm learning about this in real time so I will have more to say when I know what is actually happening. In the meantime, please, please hire Tomas. He is one of the best in the entire game, and he's only been getting better at it every day. Snatch him up immediately.
Tomas Franzese@tomasfranzese.bsky.social · 2y agoToday, I was laid off from Digital Trends after three years with the company. I'm immediately open to any opportunities in journalism, PR or game dev. I would love to freelance and appear on podcasts in the meantime as well! If you'd like to reach out with an opportunity, DM me for my email!

Joe just texted me a reminder to eat because my schedule has been so crazy lately and I definitely forgot to eat one day 🫠
I’m curious to know how much hairstylists actually want to talk during an appointment. I lean more towards being quiet cause I hate interrupting their work, or making them yell over the blow dryer 🤣
I don’t know how but my TikTok FYP is full of videos of women making sourdough bread… I ain’t mad at it.
Attempting to organize our house a bit more this year (and not live in constant chaos). I was way too excited to put together our new shoe cabinet today lol.
This week has been ROUGH to say the least but so happy to finally see progress in our little bub!!! Mama and dada are finally able to sleep now that Isaiah is feeling better, even smiling through his nebulizer treatments 🥲
Why is it that we have no information on the drones in Jersey! What is happeningggggg…
Losing a loved one is always hard, and as I’ve gotten older, it has taught me to take more time to call just to say “I love you”, or visit family just because. No special occasion needed. Because time is precious, and definitely something we take for granted every day.
Joe and I looked at our Spotify wrapped and confirmed our accounts no longer belong to us, they belong to Isaiah lol. (Yes, we are big Bluey fans!)
We had ramen for dinner last night and all I keep thinking about is how I want more for breakfast 😩
Decided to make French onion soup for Thanksgiving dinner and man I am full of regret. And tears. HAPPY THANKSGIVING 😭
Post you from a different era: One more of hubs and I from 2008 (?!) at 19 when we were just friends 🥺 Such babies!

Dealing with a migraine and now my left eye won’t stop twitching. Monday is really Monday-ing!
How did I only discover they made Like Water for Chocolate into a series!!! (Maybe because I don’t really watch TV.) Loved this book when I read in high school, so I might need to give it a go.
I have come to learn I have zero social skills when it comes to trying to make mom friends when we meet another family. I don’t want to appear too eager but then I come off stand offish 🫠
Since I’m new here, an intro post 👋🏼 - Games PR @ fortyseven for 11+ years - You have probably gotten a pitch from me about The Sims - I will introduce myself to you at events even if I know you because I hate assuming you remember me - Proud momma, a warning that I will talk about my son a lot 🤣
Finally get to enjoy MySims after our team launched the Cozy Bundle this week! Need all the cozy game recs, it’s been a minute since I’ve picked up my Switch.
We are in the era of “I want to do everything myself.” Can’t lie, it was adorable watching Isaiah attempting to use chopsticks.
