Behold the reward for unpacking and organizing the entire kitchen in a single afternoon: pan-seared salmon, asparagus, and Greek salad. After traveling all summer, cooking in my own kitchen is such a frickin intoxicating dream that it’s making me post food pics against all better judgement. #foodpics #sorrynotsorry #homecooking
Went to Ikea today. Did the usual stuff, ate meatballs, impulsively bought clothes hanger covers, et cetera. Especially stoked about this yucca tree and my new 50¢ gardening hat. . . . . #latenightfashionshow #ikea #plantmama #newhome
I don’t think I’ve ever flown over northern Wisconsin before, but suddenly I glanced out the window and caught my darling Sturgeon Bay in the rosy haze of sunset. It kicked off a fun game of “what other land and water formations can I identify?” which included Green Bay, Lake Winnebago, the Chequamegon forest, and a hundred other interestingly-shaped lakes and rivers. They all seem closer together from way up here. #sturgeonbay #doorcounty #wisconsin #sunset #airplanephotos #westcoastbound
As much as I felt like I never really took to Boston, I loved living in Somerville. At Nine Bar for coffee and one last survey of the scene. Until we meet again. #somahville #davissquare #summer #farewell
Dear everyone who has ever accused me of being unable to stay in one place for more than a few days: touché. #pdx #traveler #tumbleweed #carpetselfie
Just got some new #blackwing pencils and now I just want to sketch all the adorable animals. #drawing #firstlove
We’re at the coooooast ❤️#cannonbeach #haystackrock #oregoncoast #family
Today I woke up in the Oregon desert, and while we were enjoying our coffee in the shade of a scrubby oak grove, a big old rattlesnake slithered down the gravel road and went under the porch and started copulating with another rattlesnake that was already there. We got some through-the-slats video. My first rattlesnake and my first rattlesnake porn. #vacation #memories #rattlesnake
And there you have it. #hwy20 #roadtrip #oregon #success
OH SNAP. #oregon
So far Dad and I have written two songs for Road Trip: The Musical. Just wrapped “Utah Is The Beehive State.” (guess where we are right now) #roadtrip #daddydaughter #ukulele #utah #utahlele #dadjokes
Over 1,000 miles and close to 1,000 left to go. Now if we trip and fall, we roll into the ocean instead of the Mississippi. #roadtrip
