Do you have to shove a camera in my face while I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast?!

I squashed my plastic plants enough to see over them—that's good enough to fulfill my Tall Tuesday training, right?

Mondays are for digging tantrums and NOPE naps in my shell!

Last but not least in my fabulous birthday box from my fabulous 11th birthday box from friends Tito, Nico, Joa, and their humom @anne-fine last year: A custom phone holder featuring yours truly! (Wrapped in delicious paper!) I was very intrigued and kept staring at myself! 📸🌸🐢👀

Thank you to our wonderful friends for always making me feel like the most special birthday tort! 🥳🐢🎁🥰🐢🐢🦜💝

Friends Tito, Nico, Joa, and their humom @anne-fine even included presents for Grandmom and Granddad in my fabulous 11th birthday box last year: Two super soft and fuzzy towel handkerchiefs featuring the one and only Pikachu! These are so soft that I couldn't resist booping and hugging them all over! 🤗😍🥳1️⃣0️⃣💝🐢🥰

International Turtle and Tortoise Week, Day 2 (Day 1 here) Happy Earth Day! 🌱🌎 Today we shellebrate our beautiful home planet! This year's Earth Day theme is "Our Planet, Our Power": We all share Earth as our home, and together we have the power to keep it beautiful and green for a long time to come! 🤝 Renewable energy, recycling, and other sustainable choices add up to help make sure our planet still has plenty of delicious, CHOMP-able clover not made from yarn! 🍀🌏💚🐢

🔙 Who remembers when this yarn clover was bigger than baby me?
