hello dear ones, happy valentine’s day 2026!

Each year this process of valentine production and distribution (your being here to read this means you know me, or Jordan, or both, so I invite you to imagine just how streamlined and orderly that process is — as this very sentence demonstrates, efficiency drives everything we do in this household) is a gift I give myself when the days are short and dark and it’s too easy to forget how much love is out there. ❤️

I’ll be adding to the different pages here (<– over there, up in the corner, the menu under the words “February Greetings”) over the next few days, now that sending out all your valentines has got me motivated to update the site (again, we’re about efficiency.) Please click around and catch up on what’s been happening, and please check in if you can with a quick text or voice message or call (or another one,  if you are one of the beloved homies I currently owe a call or text or message back! Sorry! On the eve of my 44th birthday I think I have to acknowledge that this is just How I Am. I will guarantee that there’s a song or a joke or a picture or a book recommendation I’ve been meaning to share with you; please don’t hesitate to remind or double or triple remind me until I get back to you with it.)

I’ve been thinking of you fondly as I’ve been addressing these colorful non-machineable packets to send out, chasing down some of your new addresses and writing out some so familiar I don’t even have to check the street number, picturing the mailbox at your front door or the end of your driveway and envisioning your smile or your belly laugh or your indulgent eyeroll as you fumble with the blue painter’s tape and put together what the little magnifying glass is all about. You are dear and you are missed!
