It’s FemFest eve, the most wonderful time of this Spring. This arts organizer is prepping art labels and getting pumped for the biggest event I’ve ever produced. This would not be possible without the support and energy of some awesome Spokane people and organizations - Thanks to @kellyraetreides , my FemFest organizing partner in crime. And shout out to my dear friends at @spokaneareanow for all your support, big ideas and volunteer hours. #FEMFEST18 #feminismismyfavoritefword #askmeaboutmyfeministagenda✊ #intersectionalfeminismorbust #power2thepoetry #spokaneart #spokanepoetry #artsadmin

It's time for Annette's #drinkoftheweek - The Loco Nut Mocha. Mix a shot (or two) of Captain Morgan Loco Nut with some home brewed coffee and a splash of mocha creamer. Yummy in my tummy, and it's a breakfast beverage! A perfect way to start a day off... prep for a long day at the beach/theme park/outdoor adventure, or to pre-funk for another round of online job applications. #dontworrybehappy #putthecoffeeinthecoconut #funemployment #homebartender #cocktailgram #hottoddy (at Cliff Cannon, Spokane, Washington)

A couple days ago, we were headed north from San Clemente and we broke down somewhere south of Los Gatos. Our Chevy Van has developed some serpentine belt alignment issues. And this is why we opted for the extra roadside assistance on our insurance. A "free" tow really helps during an event as stressful as one's home breaking down. #vanlife #campervanlife #homewardbound
