#fbf to the time I stopped mid photo shoot to shape my sourdough bread. Some of you have asked why I don’t post bread making videos anymore…it’s because I had to adopt a gluten free diet to help reduce inflammation. Thankfully I’ve found some great substitutes and the transition hasn’t been as hard as I thought. Although I do miss that warm crusty sourdough! My gluten free friends…what do you miss and what great finds have you made? I miss dumplings and soy sauce but I love the Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Everything Bagels!
#OneDayMay Today’s prompt…Someone I Love.
For so many reasons. With all my heart.
Secret Santa or Secret Uggs? I love this photo of me and Angela because you can see my Uggs which I used to sneakily wear ALL the time on the show. Today on @officeladiespod we are breaking down Secret Santa which includes one of our all-time biggest blooper moments. We also have a special treat this week… @billiejoearmstrong reads our summary and talks about Dwight and Andy singing Boulevard of Broken Dreams…and @angelakinsey uncovers some extended improvisation by @edhelms …Link in bio to listen!
BFF Selfie! Taking a break from work to werk it! @angelakinsey
Did a little secret something for our book last week and got to call the glam squad! I haven’t gotten the glam treatment in a long time so of course I had to snap a pic. (Btw, prepping for this shoot day took weeks! Looking casually pulled together is a part time job.) Can’t wait for you to see all the fun stuff we have coming up!

I do declare…finger guns and murder mystery dinner theater in honor of today’s Office Ladies episode breaking down Murder. I know this episode is all about playing Belles, Bourbon and Bullets but I was tickled to be reminded of such gems as Tube City. I also share about my real ghost encounter at the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis! Link in Bio! @officeladiespod @angelakinsey

The paper was there all along! I guess Pam has no excuse not to go on a Double Date with Michael and her Mom. Oh this episode is so good! Thank you @dundermifflinbloopers for posting this blooper. I remember John was so funny in this scene I couldn’t keep it together. @angelakinsey and I have a lot of fun breaking down this episode on @officeladiespod today. If you were waiting for the episode where we finally do a deep dive on Penis Wine and Bagels…this is the one for you! Link in Bio!
#onedaymay is a one month social media challenge hosted by my friend @laura.tremaine Today’s prompt is simple: post a selfie. (You can read more on her profile)
I always enjoy scrolling this hashtag each year. While I may not post every day this is my way of saying “I’m here!” I love seeing what people share and learning about their lives.
I little about me: I was born in Indiana, and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. I have family in Texas, New Mexico, Florida and Illinois. I live in California. While most of my life has been spent living in rural or suburban places my heart belongs to New York City. I first went there at the age of 27 and it feels like home to me. I hope to retire there one day!
ONE WEEK! One week from today my book The Office BFFs comes out!!!!
One week and one day from today me and @angelakinsey are LIVE at Town Hall!
There is so much to do! We are going through your questions for Town Hall today! Can’t wait to see you all! @townhallnyc
This is our Seven Sad Oranges tree…not to be confused with our little Sumo…I’ve been composting to make nutrient-rich soil for this sweetie and I think it’s been working!! (Posing confidently in front of tree might be premature…I’ll let you know if we get an eighth orange!)🍊 🌳
Bow down before Recyclops! This week on @officeladiespod we are breaking down Shareholder Meeting which includes the Recyclops Cold Open. We got amazing details about the transformation of Recyclops from our costume designer Alicia Raycraft. Thank you Alicia! My favorite part of this was getting to return to early Pam and Jim…Pam’s scrunchy hair and Jim’s floppy do, huddled together at reception. Awwww.

Spring Break! OTG!
#onedaymay Today’s prompt: “This month I will…”
Release my book into the world!
After nearly 4 years, the book I wrote with my best friend @angelakinsey about our best friendship and our time together on The Office is going out into the world May 17th. We are heading to New York for launch week.
While I’m excited about the book coming out, I’ve been nervous about dressing myself for personal appearances. This does NOT come naturally to me. And, I sized up since the last time I did one of these and none of my stuff fits right!
My wise pal @thelazygenius suggested that instead of thinking of how I wanted to look, think about how I want to feel during my launch week. I loved this! I decided I want to feel stylish, smart, confident, comfortable and fun.
I’ve spent the last month carefully building a “Launch Week Closet” with the help of my friends @lindsayjprice and @laura.tremaine and now…I’m actually kind of excited! I’m picking my final outfits this week…I might need some help over in stories!
What is this month about for you?
Yup. This week we are breaking down Scott’s Tots. A huge thank you to @bjnovak for coming on @officeladiespod to discuss this episode. This was his first time directing for television and we loved breaking it down with him! Link in bio or wherever you get your podcasts! 🎧
“Is this because Jim walked in on you going to the bathroom?” That’s the question we are answering on today’s episode of @officeladiespod from the Season 6 episode Sabre! This amazing episode was directed by our very own @johnkrasinski – Thank you John for sharing your memories of directing this episode on the podcast today! We also got the real-life inspiration behind the day care bathroom moment. As well as some fun facts about the @realchristianslater cameo in in the Sabre video. Link in bio to listen! 🎧 #haveyouevertastedarainbow 🌈
Very excited to be the proud owners of a piece of art by Bernard Zalon. We’ve been following him for awhile now. Love his pieces. We now have a bicycle etching! 🚲 You can find him on 80th and Broadway or www.bernardzalon.com
We got the advanced copies of our book The Office BFFs today! It’s so beautiful! Ack! (Forgive us in advance for the noisy tree trimming at my neighbor’s house next door! We were just so excited to hop on and share with you!) @angelakinsey @deystreet @officeladiespod Link in bio to pre-order 📖
Happy Easter! Made our favorite Easter-themed treat! From the @bettycrocker cookie cookbook (which I’ve had for probably 20 years and love) Almond Bon Bon cookies. We adjust to make them look like little eggs. Kids love them. Easy to make and so yummy! 🐣 🧺 🐰
What is happening? Why is Michael on a Segway? Because we need to impress The Banker! Today on @officeladiespod we are breaking down the one and only clip show in Office history, discussing how and why this episode came to be AND we hear from The Banker himself @david_costabile Link in Bio to Listen. (@angelakinsey also teaches us about not staying on the toilet too long…Toby, I hope you are listening!)
#OneDayMay Today’s prompt…My favorite place to be:
…At my desk at 9am on a Monday morning with a hot cup of coffee. After busy weekends filled with family activities and sports, I love the quiet solitude of my office on a Monday morning. I also love my work. Getting to dig into my creative and entrepreneurial brain makes me happy. The only thing missing from this photo is @mrsonnycat sitting in the window.
And thank you @bethhelmstetter for helping me design my perfect office space! (She really wanted me to get a nicer desk chair but I’m attached to this old standard roller one.)
