Shit I Like
We saw The Lion King in 3D today. Here’s what we thought. Plus, a very special rendition of Hakuna Matata, as “sung” by me and Mason. It’s something you will never forget…even if you try!
I’m rounding up all of my favorite deals on Amazon’s two-day Prime Day extravaganza! Keep checking back for more.
I’m a sucker for Instagram ads, especially if it’s a gadget that promises to solve one of my (ridiculously first world) problems. I’ve been looking for a phone dock to put in my car, but being picky AF like me, none of them appealed to me.
Y’all! I adore when brands are smart and witty enough to send fun, unexpected gifts to people who talk about their experiences on social media. Check out this adorable gift box of penguin love that I received from the folks at Spiffy mobile car washing service!
I’m officially a grown up. For the first time in my 44 years on Earth, “practical” things dominated my Christmas wish list.

We made it through the Mondayest Monday of Mondays (until maybe next Monday!). I consider that a success! . In case you hadn’t heard, I painted my nails as part of what I’m calling #StayHomeSilly — do something silly that reminds you and others that this too shall pass and we’re all in it together. . I’d love to see your silliness. Tag me! - by imcoopedup 1 week ago
I did something silly. Something I probably wouldn't do under normal circumstances. Something to remind myself that, while what we're dealing with is serious, it too shall pass and we can't let ourselves go crazy. . A little silliness always helps me cope when times get too heavy or start going off the rails...well, silliness and a generously-poured glass of wine. .

I hope y’all are making the best of “Shelter in Place” and not stressing too much. Me, I’m over here with my Olive Garden pour of white wine after playing business owner, home school IT department and lunch lady this week! - by imcoopedup 2 weeks ago
Last day of 30A Quarantine. We left the house only a few times for essentials. Never ate out or shopped. Unlike nearby (crowded, ridiculous, reckless) Rosemary Beach, our stretch of sand was largely void of people. - by imcoopedup 1 month ago

Celine Dion, Oprah and now Le Creuset Warehouse Sale: February 2020 officially marks when I transitioned into a middle-aged suburbanite white woman. - by imcoopedup 2 months ago
Say what you want about my unwavering love for Mama @oprah . She brought it today! We laughed, we cried, we vowed to change our worlds. Dallas is better this weekend because we broadcast so much love. My heart is full and my intentions set after a fabulous day with @oprah , @foodsparks and @code_red_coach_heather . #oprahs2020visiontour
