Instagram post 2341805695345026132_27034572 I believe I mentioned there was A LOT of yard work to do? It was a two-dress #quarantinecouture situation. This one is from @anntaylor, and was what I wore at my wedding rehearsal dinner over 12 years ago.
Instagram post 2341804380715825861_27034572 So much for a lazy Sunday... we did a LOT of yard work today, which is really saying something, since we have artificial turf in the back yard! But I threw on my favorite Black Watch plaid dress from @vineyardvines and we got it all done! #quarantinecouture
Instagram post 2341151528045644874_27034572 Amazing (if slightly too long in hindsight) hike today in Castlewood Canyon State Park. Thanks to @pawsvt514 for the impetus!
Instagram post 2340363875603946646_27034572 So apparently, I have to decide what to make for dinner EVERY DAY? I mean, I know I’ve been doing these #quarantinecouture photos for more than 60 days, and #quarantine itself for over 100, but really, that seems excessive.
🥡
I guess we’re having takeout again tonight.

Instagram post 2339668583718047615_27034572 Happy to celebrate Pride this month with some of my favorite very colorful LGBTQIA+ reads: RED, WHITE, AND ROYAL BLUE by @casey.mcquiston, PINK by @lililiwilkinson, and THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ by @thatames. 
Black and white #quarantinecouture dress from @bananarepublic is the perfect background for this rainbow of books!

#quarantinecouture dress by @badgleymischka again from @renttherunway.
Instagram post 2337488353626674684_27034572 Happy Monday! While our local community pools opened up for open swim by reservation today, I wasn’t able to get any spots for this week. That didn’t stop me from throwing on my @landsend tankini to take Sean and Zoe to the pool for their semi-private swim lessons, and doing a few laps myself. 🏊‍♀️ I’m no @kaytestrophe, but I can get from one end of the pool to the other in something resembling three out of the four main strokes! Which is good enough for me.

Instagram post 2336817312961099866_27034572 On a day that’s all about this guy and how much we love him, today’s #quarantinecouture dress is from @ann_taylor_loft and is an easy thing to throw on for a homemade dinner of bbq chicken, rice, and corn, followed by apple crumb pie and vanilla ice cream. Delicious!

Happy Father’s Day, @doyce_t!
Instagram post 2336471310731145149_27034572 Happy Father’s Day to my perfect partner, my favorite guy to run, bike, hike, paddleboard, travel, play, and parent with. Thanks for keeping us sane and organized for 95 days of social distancing. We love you to pieces!
Instagram post 2336114484672011196_27034572 Some dresses are just perfect for cuddling on the couch with my kiddos.

Especially after a 6.5 mile hike up and down a mountain, listening to STAMPED: Racism, Antiracism, and You.

Oh, and I baked a challah too.

#quarantinecouture dress from @gap. Anyone else remember when it used to be “The Gap”?
Instagram post 2335348817035266853_27034572 At the end of a long week, I like to make my famous “call for takeout” for dinner. Thanks, Mici’s!

If you’re looking for something to watch this weekend, I highly recommend the @juneteenthbookfest panels, all of which were posted today. The Black Romance panel was particularly good!

Instagram post 2334508730871496642_27034572 Inspired by @heybelovedmama, today’s #quarantinecouture shot boldly proclaims “I Am Mama.” Momma to these two little cuddlebugs, and fierce Mama answering the call we all received when #GeorgeFloyd called out for his Mama.

I may change my clothes before tonight’s Community Support Walk in downtown Littleton, but not my heart. #iammama

Instagram post 2333771365859395346_27034572 When it’s too nice a day to sit inside and work, I’m grateful I can take my laptop outside and keep plugging away.

Meanwhile, @kaytestrophe and Zoe were hard at work on our protest signs for the #blacklivesmatter community march in Littleton tomorrow. I’m posting the details again in my story if you want to join us.

Instagram post 2333119079329939460_27034572 Today’s #quarantinecouture shot doubles as a Happy Book Birthday post to @smile4niki and her MG novel THE STEPMOM SHAKE-UP, out today from @randomhousekids.

Dress is from @hm, headband is a handmade block printed gaiter that doubles as a great hiking mask by @camerashymomma.

As a stepmom myself, I can attest that no stepmoms were harmed in the making of this book! And if you’re looking for a great indie bookstore to support with your purchase, check out my stories for a fabulous list of Black-owned stores that can use your support. My recent purchases are going to @thelitbar.

Speaking of color, have you bought two books by Black authors yet this week? #blackoutbestsellerlist #blackpublishingpower
Instagram post 2331656252389984102_27034572 An island of calm elegance in a sea of chaos, aka a six-year-old’s bedroom as we approach 90 days of #quarantine. 
If you need a moment of calm yourself, take it, and then get back in the fight. Local friends, check my stories for details on a #blacklivesmatter Community Solidarity Walk this Thursday in Littleton. Our family will be there.

Instagram post 2330986596096466029_27034572 I planned to head up to Carpenter Peak again today, but only got about halfway up the trail before one of Colorado’s summer afternoon thunderstorms forced me to turn around and head back down.

Lesson learned: make plans, take along necessary supplies, but be flexible and willing to make changes according to new information.

Take, for instance, the idea of Defunding the Police. It may seem like a radical idea, but do the research. Look into what it means. According to @aoc, it looks like suburbia. And that seems to work pretty well for us, right?

Instagram post 2330254395163631319_27034572 I have to be honest: this was pretty much my whole day today. Sitting at my desk, looking at resumes, working, being on Zoom calls, looking cute. At 5 o’clock, my Fitbit hadn’t even tracked 1900 steps.
.

Some days are going to feel like that. Like progress is backwards, or non-existent. But, truthfully, “The arch of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." .
.

Happy Loving Day.

Instagram post 2329481799090345930_27034572 So. Many. Phone. Calls. Today. 📞

But that’s how we make change. Interviews, conversations, discussions, negotiations. A list of demands is only one-sided until you agree to meet and discuss them, and see where you can make a real difference.
☎️ You know what doesn’t work? Demanding people stop talking about a thing. It’s like telling people not to think about an elephant.
