Getting a little crafty for the tiki lounge on my lunch break! Found the end of an old rum barrel at @goodwill_inw for $7 that will now be Rob’s shingle, and the most amazing $5 photo and postcard album filled with memorabilia from Hawaii in the 30’s. I also scored a midcentry rum barrel bar that is TO DIE FOR. It was an absolute treasure trove. 😍

A quick little tour of my yard today - my happy place! We are currently at peak tulip and daffodil and I couldn’t be loving it more. It’s the little things!

Craving unity these days? Same!!! In a world that feels more divided than ever, this free citywide event is a much-needed breath of connection. Uniting the Inland Northwest, hosted by @favsnews, is a call to community we all need. Featuring a powerful keynote from @gonzagau 's Dr. Itohan Idumwonyi of the @humanitieswa Speakers Bureau, you’ll dive into the concept of Ubuntu: the idea that our humanity is tied to one another. It’s a conversation that goes deeper than surface-level “let’s all get along” talk—this is about building bridges that last.⁠ ⁠ Attendees can also choose from six timely breakout sessions tackling real regional issues, with the chance to attend three throughout the day. Whether you’re passionate about civic engagement, healing community rifts, or just want to be part of something *hopeful* for once—this gathering was made for you. Food and drinks will be available from The Steam Plant (because every good conversation is better with snacks). ⁠ ⁠ Don’t just hear about it later—be there and get connected with like-minded humans that will fill your cup in real time.

We had such a beautiful celebration with the family, and I hope you had a lovely day with the people and animals you care about most in your world. 🫶🏻

🫕 If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by entertaining everyone for Easter, don’t forget about @themeltingpot_spokane!!! We are so lucky to get to partner with them to share all about this family-friendly experience that is bound to get the conversation started. The boys have been saving up to get another chance to visit, and they were so proud. It truly is one of their favorite places in town to try new cooking styles and flavor combinations in a low stakes environment. A little bit of play, a lot of adventurous eating, and so much fun! 🧀 The best part about visiting The Melting Pot is the time that we have together. No worrying about dishes, or getting everything on the table at just the right time… just 100% dialed in to family time. The topics of conversation were fascinating - I love having teenagers!!! We chatted about everything from the Little Rock 9 to how to get the best deals on groceries and the dynamics of global trade. Seeing them grow into adult adults has been one of the best privileges of my life. It’s pretty cool when you genuinely enjoy spending time with the people you made. 🥹 They still have some reservations left, so for anyone looking for last-minute plans this is your time to be the hero!

🧘‍♀️If you’re looking to reconnect with yourself and find renewed purpose, @anamcarahealingcenter in Spokane offers a -beautiful- experience. Founded by Hannah Talbot, a Reiki Master and mindfulness guide, the center provides a space for everyone to feel supported through their own unique healing journey. Her professionalism and genuine care for everyone who walks into her space is exceptional, and I got so much out of my session with her. I’m still teary-eyed just thinking about how meaningful it was to me in that moment! 🥹 🪶She personally invited me to try a Reiki session for the first time, and I was nervous but didn’t need to be. Her Reiki session begins with a heartfelt discussion about your personal goals and challenges, setting the stage for a transformative experience. Following the initial conversation, you’ll be guided through a healing session that incorporates various modalities such as sound baths, aromatherapy, and tuning forks. It includes a guided meditation, allowing you to enter a state of deep relaxation. Afterward, Hannah shares her insights and encourages you to reflect on your own experiences, fostering a sense of clarity and empowerment. I was floored by the recommendations she made and how meaningfully they aligned with what I had thought, but never spoken out loud. ♥️ Anam Cara Healing Center is a true sanctuary in the heart of @downtownspokane where intentional touch and empathetic listening converge to facilitate genuine healing. Hannah’s approach helps clients reconnect with their authentic selves, offering a gentle reminder of the profound impact of genuine human connection. I already can’t wait for my next visit - it’s a haven that provides a space to find connection, balance and pursue true inner peace with practical application of research-based strategies. ✨

🍳We’re teaming up with @rosauerssupermarkets & @spiceology for a $100 grocery challenge—and let’s just say, it’s about to get delicious. 😍 Kasey of @offof29th and I hit up this iconic, locally owned grocery store to see how much flavor we could pack into a single cart. Naturally, we kicked things off at the butcher counter, because protein is the foundation of greatness. 🥰😍 Kasey went classic with kebabs, New York strip steak, and burgers (yes please), while I leaned into the bold with prime rib steaks, andouille sausage, and my forever favorite: cottage bacon from @hemplerfoods. 🥓 From there, we cruised the perimeter of the store—aka the zone where all the fresh magic lives. Rosauers has such good produce, so we loaded up on greens, vibrant veggies, and some staples to balance out our savory picks. The goal? To stretch our budget without compromising on flavor, fun, or that satisfying “I’m totally winning at grocery shopping” feeling. And of course, we couldn’t resist sprinkling in a few Spiceology blends to bring the whole thing to life. 💥 ➡️ Now the big question: what should we make? With this lineup, the possibilities are endless—and we want your input. Are we going full backyard BBQ mode? A Sunday brunch spread with a spicy twist? Comment your dream menu picks and help us turn this $100 haul into some epic meals!
