Just call me cat lady 🤪
p.s. For the cat lovers watching who want to try a sling: it’s so so important that you stay in tune with your pet’s cues. If they show even the *slightest* sign of discomfort: let them go! And even before you try a sling, spend time developing that nonverbal communication with your pet. For me, I know that Lily loves nothing more than being carried (or crawling under my shirt), but my other cats love roaming free. All to say, when you and your pet are ready, listen intently and have fun ♥️

This picture was taken on my 25th birthday and now it’s my baby brother’s 36th birthday! 😳 Reed, it has been one of the great joys in my life to watch you grow up. You are SUCH a great dad to Aspen and husband to Ashley — attentive, loving, full of humor and grace — and watching you expand your businesses and career these last several years has been so inspiring.
I guess we really are all grown up now! Happy Birthday Reedo, I love you so much 😊 You are the best brother a sister could ever hope for.

Meeting and working with @mrchristopherlloyd, @jackblack, @lizzobeeating, and the entire cast and crew of #TheMandalorian was a HIGHLIGHT, that’s for damn sure! Each season feels a little like Christmas — I’m all, “Who do I get to work with now Jon?! And what planet are we going to this time?!” It’s all a joy and a privilege.
As a director, I get to witness firsthand how much everyone pours their ALL into this series. It comes from a place of LOVE and a continued celebration of that wonderful story we adore called #StarWars. Thank you to the cast and crew. Thank you to @jonfavreau, @dave.filoni, and @rickfamuyiwa for entrusting me with an episode this season and supporting the entire team of directors — you make coming to work such a dream.
And thank you to the fans. You have no idea how much your encouragement means. I feel profoundly grateful to work on this series and I don’t take it for granted, not for a second.
Today’s the last day to catch up on Chapter 22 before the action-packed final two episodes directed by Rick Famuyiwa! I cannot WAIT for these next two. It’s all been building to this 😊

The Set Up vs. The Shot: #JurassicWorldDominion Edition 🦕
There’s no better way to understand filmmaking than observing a movie set or watching the behind-the-scenes footage (shoutout to @studiobinder for being such an incredible BTS resource!). It’s always a surprise, the level of detail that goes into pulling off a movie magic trick. In this case, you can see how Jurassic World Dominion seamlessly combined practical effects with CG ✨
I love watching these videos — shooting this scene was a blast. Miss you Jurassic family 💚

“There will be cloudy days. There will be sunny days. Most days will have a little bit of both. No matter what, you will need to be able to fly.” 🤍 My baby sister @paigecarlylehoward, who is a sparkly, wise faerie of a human, HAS WRITTEN HER FIRST CHILDREN’S BOOK! And it’s just as magical as she is.
Paige has had this personal story of courage in her for a long time. She’s always seen herself like Petite the Pigeon does: the “last to fly” in the family and unaware of her own strength and resilience. (At one point or another, I’m sure we’ve each had a “Petite” in our head!) And this uplifting tale empowers the Petites in us all to face our fears.
I am overjoyed that Paige is sharing this story with the world and the illustrations by @joaniestoneart are absolutely stunning. Online family, soar over to the link in bio 🔗 “A Pigeon in Paris: Petite Takes Flight” is now available online and in stores!
[ID: BDH holds a copy of the beautifully illustrated book “A Pigeon in Paris: Petite Takes Flight,” featuring a pastel-hued Paris sky and sweet Petite the pigeon soaring in front of the Eiffel Tower.]

Call me DJ 100 😎 I’m absolutely honored to be the 100th DJ on the Two Paddocks Day-Glo Disco with @samneilltheprop!! You can listen to my Top 10 Tunes at the link in bio 🔗
Not gonna lie, narrowing down to a list of 10 sent me onto an existential spiral. My remedy (other than avoid the assignment) was to pick favorite songs from different times in my life. Whenever one of these songs plays, it always brings up fond memories — from my wedding song (Amélie soundtrack) to my first feature as a producer (@sufjan’s “Concerning the UFO sighting…”), to my favorite musician from high school (@benleemusic)!
Take a trip down memory lane with me and click on that link in my bio — I hope these songs bring a smile to your face:)

If my maximalist tendencies taught me one thing, it’s commit to the process and leave room for magic ✨ Because more than unknown, creativity is unpredictable. And in that space between what we hope, what we do, and what comes to fruition are endless possibilities that we simply can’t control. I’m learning that more and more with these watercolor experiments, especially how to practice judgment-free creativity.
So keep creating. Don’t give up on it.
And save this video for when you need that reminder:)

[A series of three time lapse videos with BDH swatching a multitude of colors. At first she tries to make a painting out of it, but as the watercolor concentrates bleed and blend, she releases control. Once the backgrounds dry, BDH draws a leaf over it with black and silver acrylic ink. It’s not what she expected but she’s content with the journey.]

“Dear Bryce” is back — the @ninemusesentertainment advice column where I respond to your questions about navigating the entertainment industry and beyond 🎉 This week, a reader asks: “What’s the best (and least annoying) way to convert a lovely but small working relationship into a longer-term interaction?”
Taking your relationship to the next level can be tricky — and even more than it, it can feel so awkward! It’s like asking a person on a date. You don’t know if the other person feels the same way as you, but you have to take a leap of faith in order to find out.
In my experience, the best way to deepen a professional relationship is leaning into mutual care, support, and respect. For example…
➡️ Take something off their plate. Genuinely offering this kind of contribution will signal to the person that you will show up for them.
➡️ Ask to give or receive feedback. This can help you assess if you have a shared language and lay the foundation for a longer-term interaction.
➡️ Send an encouraging note. Support, empowerment, and love goes a long way!

Can you tell I’m in watercolor heaven? 😆🥰
A new friend, the lovely Sarah Simon (a.k.a. @themintgardener) sent this beautifully curated collection of watercolor supplies and it’s truly everything I could ever hope for. I’ve been collecting Sarah’s books for quite some time now and she is such a special artist and teacher. I feel like I could spend hours soaking up her creative energy and painting in her vibrant botanical world.
For weeks I’ve been drooling over this custom watercolor palette made in collaboration with @pottery_by_eleni and now that I get to use it, my excitement is through the roof! I also didn’t think I could be so emotional over a painter’s pot but here we are 🤣
Sarah, thank you for bringing such beauty and inspiration into my life! Your generosity means the world 💕
p.s. Fellow art lovers, Sarah’s new book, “Flowers, Feathers, and Animal Friends: A Watercolor Workbook,” is set to be released on May 31, 2023!
