HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Here’s to all the memories made in 2024 and all the ones to come in 2025! 💜🎉🥳💜

Merry happy Christmas everyone! Whether you celebrate or not, I hope you have a beautiful day, and that you eat something delicious! Here’s a throwback video of one of my fav holiday songs as my gift to you. ☺️😎🌲🎁 I’m so grateful to have figured out this beautifully weird little world with you all. Enjoy! #songstr #holidaysong #christmas #singer #musicstr #mostwonderfultime

Don’t mind me. I’m just over here trying to keep from breaking down while I pour out the last of my emotions into these custom songs just before Christmas. I’m ready for a BREAK!

Izzy got a sweet new family for Christmas this morning! I wish it were me, but she gets to grow up with a little human sister (they’re going to be the best of friends), and her new mama is wonderful. She’s gonna have so many wonderful adventures. This is always the hardest part, but she couldn’t have gone to a better family! #fosterdog #pupstr #dogstr #fosterdogmama #iwillalwaysloveyou

Izzy has a meet and greet with a sweet little family tomorrow! Not gonna lie, I’m gonna miss this sweet little girl. She is a true gem. 🥹❤️🥹❤️🥹 #fosterpup #pupstr #fosterdogmom #dogsofnostr #iloveher

Today’s unobligatory Izzy pic. If you know anyone looking for the perfect gift of joy this season, here’s a link to apply for her:

I’m legit having the hardest time getting anything done today. She just wants to snuggle! #izzythesnuggly #fosterpup #pupstr #fosterdogmom #cutenessoverload

Izzy gets the super pillow instead of the cone after her spay. It’s a little big, and she was very sus at first. But then she gave into the comfort. #fosterpup #pupstr #dogstr #fosterdogmama #coneofshamebedamned

Say hello to Izzy! My sweet little foster looking for her forever home. She’s 22weeks and 14lbs of cuteness! She’s a little overwhelmed in her new space having just been spayed today, but since this photo she’s already chosen to cuddle up in my lap. I think she’ll settle in just fine. Get ready for lots of puppy pics! #pupstr #fosterpupstr #fosterdog #fosterdogmom #ilovedogs

Okay. I’ve been quiet all week. But it’s been a good week! Currently hanging in the Delta lounge at BNA waiting for my flight to NYC — where I get to sing BGVs for a super rad band called North Beach Gritty. Sometimes the musician hustle life is full of fun adventures — and this is definitely one of those times! #indiemusic #musicianstr #musicstr #travelstr #thathustlelifethough

Today was our last day with Lane. This girl is just the sweetest, bestest pup ever. We spoiled the crap outta her, took her on adventures, and gave her all the love she could ever want. I’m so glad I still get to see this girl after having fostered her over the summer. The most rewarding part of fostering is seeing these pups happy and healthy in their forever homes. It’s an added bonus to get to spend time with them after they’ve been adopted! Lane is truly a special girl. #pupstr #pupsofnostr #formerfoster #fosterpup

I had a BLAST chatting with Sarah. She’s such a gem! Take a listen to our chat here: View quoted note →

I hope all of you US folks had a Thanksgiving as good as Lane here did. (She got a little turkey and some special carrots smothered in pumpkin). Second time I’ve cooked a bird like this. There really is no better way!

How does anyone not fall immediately in love with this face? 🥹🥹🥹

Time for a little photo dump! The run of shows with my friend Lauren was a success!!! We met lots of cool people, had easy travel, had the cutest little road dog with us, and I got to see South Carolina for the first time. That means I’ve been to 45 out of the 50 states, AND Puerto Rico. Crazy! Anyone been to all 50? The only downside from the weekend is that I came down with a nasty little bug. But I’ll be back to normal before you know it. (Although, I could definitely use a good soup @SoupBox 😂😂). Anyway, good times were had!

We’ve got live music up in here!

Ahhh finally a little cynicism… I once rented and EV not realizing what I was doing. It was half charged when I got it, and quickly died on my one hour drive from Detroit to Toledo. Because of course it takes more energy if you plug in your phone to use the map, and if you drive above 55mph. Then I had to scramble to figure out how/where to charge the damn thing. Thought plugging it in at the hotel for 24 hours would be enough. It was absolutely not. Then had one of the most stressful drives back to the airport (which I barely made it to). Never again, I said. I will never rent an EV again. These are NOT the right cars for long road trips by any stretch of the imagination. Why am I telling you this? Because it turns out we had to rent a car at the last minute for this weekend’s run of shows. Found a great deal on what I thought was an SUV, and guess what kind of car it was? A freaking EV. Nope. Had to pay $30 more for a gas car, but if Michigan and Ohio aren’t well equipped to handle EVs, then the southern US DEFINITELY ain’t! I’m a fan of a good hybrid. But I do not like straight up EVs. I’ve road tripped way too much in my life to have to hunt down a charging station and spend an hour there charging (plus the money) for maybe 150 miles of drive time. End rant.
