Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's Wife Kallie Honors 3-Year-Old Son on the 1-Year Anniversary of His Death
Levi Wright's mom, Kallie Wright, is remembering her late son on the one-year anniversary of his death.
'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths. They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me,' Kallie captioned an Instagram post on Monday, June 2. 'You stayed with us 17 minutes. As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you.'
In the photo, Kellie held Levi in his hospital bed while her husband, Spencer Wright, stayed close to them both.
'For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official,' Kallie's caption continued. 'Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever.'
Levi was hospitalized in May 2024 following an accident that caused a severe brain injury. The Beaver County Sheriff's Office confirmed that 3-year-old Levi 'had driven a toy tractor into a river' and received 'life saving measures' before being taken to the hospital.
After a day of medical care, Levi's family — including Spencer, a rodeo star, and Kallie — offered an update on his condition through family friend Mindy Sue Clark, who was sharing updates via Facebook. (The couple are also parents to daughter Steeley and son Brae.)

Kallie also offered an update on her son's condition hours before his June 2024 death.
'After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear. Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,' Kallie captioned a Facebook video at the time. 'We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go. I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us.'
Levi was put on life support following his accident.
'Here soon I'll climb into bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the last time on this earth,' she wrote. 'I find comfort in knowing he will be restored to the perfect little boy he was & have the ability to do all the things he loves! I know there are Angels up there waiting to hold him until I can again!'

Why the Best Cupcakes Are More Than Just a Sweet Treat
Nowadays, cupcakes mean more than just something to eat—they're also a work of art, a must-have at parties, and a favorite personal snack, all kept in a paper liner. Having cupcakes on hand will make any occasion—a party, a gift, or simply a break for yourself—even better. What is it that makes cupcakes different than ordinary cakes? Now, let's highlight the things that make the best cupcakes impressive. Most people notice how soft and moist a cupcake is right away; the best custom cupcakes have just the right amount of both. You want a cupcake that has a light texture that gently bounces back when you touch it and isn't too dry or heavy. The result comes from baking professionals who carefully adjust how they add the four main ingredients and leavening agents. If you include sour cream, yogurt, or buttermilk in your batter, the cake stays moist and feels soft and yummy. This texture delights people so much that they want to truly enjoy every bite. What makes a cupcake special is its great taste. A good cupcake should never have tastes that are too powerful or fake. Every time you bite into a cupcake, you should taste the same amount of each flavor. It is vital to used high-end vanilla, good quality cocoa powder and fresh fruit purées. Cupcakes are sure to have a homemade taste if bakers use premium and natural ingredients in their batters. The frosting is the crown jewel of a cupcake, and it's where creativity truly shines. The best cupcakes feature frostings that are smooth, rich, and perfectly whipped. Whether it's a traditional buttercream, a light cream cheese frosting, or a more adventurous ganache topping, it should be applied with skill and intention. The ideal frosting-to-cake ratio is another important factor—too little and the cupcake feels dry, too much and it becomes overwhelmingly sweet. Decorative swirls, piped flowers, or colorful sprinkles not only enhance the visual appeal but also add layers of texture and fun to the cupcake experience. What sets exceptional cupcakes apart is often the surprise inside. Fillings like fruit jams, chocolate ganache, caramel, or flavored creams take cupcakes to a whole new level. They add a burst of flavor and excitement that turns a simple cupcake into a gourmet dessert. Toppings also play a vital role—from candied nuts and chocolate shavings to edible glitter and mini cookies, these extras contribute to the overall taste, texture, and visual delight. The best cupcakes are never boring; they invite you to explore and discover with every bite. Great cupcakes aren't just delicious—they're also beautiful. Presentation is key, especially in today's Instagram-friendly world. The best cupcakes are miniature works of art, with carefully piped frosting, coordinated colors, and thoughtful designs that reflect themes, seasons, or events. Whether you're admiring a display at a boutique bakery or receiving a custom box for a celebration, the visual allure of a well-decorated cupcake makes it all the more enjoyable. It's this attention to detail that makes people say, 'It's almost too pretty to eat!' Nothing compares to a cupcake baked fresh with quality ingredients. The best bakeries make their cupcakes daily, ensuring that each one has that just-out-of-the-oven aroma and taste. You'll notice the difference immediately—no stale or artificial flavors, just pure, delicious indulgence. Using farm-fresh eggs, real butter, unbleached flour, and organic dairy products doesn't just make a difference in health—it profoundly impacts the flavor and texture of the cupcake. It's this commitment to quality that truly separates premium cupcakes from mass-produced alternatives. Another hallmark of the best cupcakes is the range of options they offer. Whether you have dietary restrictions, flavor preferences, or a specific event theme in mind, top-tier cupcake shops provide a wide array of choices. From gluten-free and vegan options to alcohol-infused or seasonal specials, the best cupcakes cater to everyone. Custom designs for weddings, birthdays, or corporate events make cupcakes not just a treat, but a personalized experience. Flexibility in flavor, decoration, and size (mini, standard, or jumbo) adds even more value and enjoyment for the customer. The most memorable best custom cupcakes impress us with their taste and the feelings they give us. If you've eaten a (few) good burgers, they should leave your meal with a fond memory, not a mouthful of sugar or oil. If good food leaves you with a sweet aftertaste, you'll find yourself already looking forward to when you can eat it again. A really good cupcake goes beyond dessert and becomes a comforting memory you won't forget. Even with so many desserts out there, I love Babycakes' best custom cupcakes are popular because people like them best. The most appealing cupcakes have a moist texture, rich taste, tasty frosting and a wonderful look. They make us happy with their wonderful tastes and small appearances. Great cupcakes always please, no matter if you're enjoying your favorite or trying something new. Remember all the work and attention that goes into a perfect cupcake each time you take a bite. timebusinessnews What gives a cupcake the title of being the best? The best cupcakes are moist, taste great, and have a carefully blended frosting made with excellent ingredients. How long will fresh cupcakes stay good for? A fresh cupcake should keep well at room temperature for 2–3 days or up to 7 days if kept cold in the refrigerator. Is it possible to make cupcakes that are gluten-free or vegan? A lot of bakeries serve gluten-free and vegan cupcakes that are both tasty and have the right texture. Which are the top-picked cupcake flavors? While vanilla, chocolate and red velvet are common cake flavors, recently, more people are loving lemon lavender and salted caramel cakes. Is putting cupcakes in the refrigerator necessary? Those with fillings or frostings made from cream cheese should be stored in the fridge; non-perishable cupcakes can remain at room temperature for some time. timebusinessnews TIME BUSINESS NEWS

My Comfort Cat, Miss Macy
I have three cats. One of them is a male cat named Leo who I rescued from the Bronx in 2015 when he was not quite a kitten (despite the Facebook posting and vague photo asking if someone wanted a kitten). He is what's considered a tuxedo cat because most of his body and face have black hair with patches of white. Despite how lovely he looks, he was quite a biter and rather mean when we welcomed him into our large four bedroom co-op apartment in Brooklyn. But we tolerated him nonetheless. Then in 2018, my husband, Malcom, brought home two actual kittens, a brother and sister. From the moment we saw them, we all fell in love. As American shorthairs, their fur is a blend of grey, black, and white. We named them Milo and Macy, respectively. Their cuteness and playfulness added to the joy of our blended family (Malcolm, me, my daughter, and his three sons). Throughout the years, the male cats bullied Macy. But in 2020, she struck back and ever since then has been the queen of the house. It was around that time when something about my relationship with her changed. She seemed to know when I was not feeling well from treatment or when I was just emotionally spent from the travails of life. My favorite spot in my bedroom is a large, brown microfiber recliner that's next to the bed. It's where I relax with a blanket. Macy often comes into the room and looks intently in my eyes, jumps up on the chair, snuggles under my bosom, and loudly purrs. As I pet her, whatever is troubling me dissipates while we cuddle and often fall asleep until Malcolm comes home and fusses that she shouldn't be in our room or on the chair because of the cat hair. But, as I've explained to him, we mutually comfort each other. This is especially true now that our daughter no longer lives at home. It's just Macy and me – the only gals in the house of mostly guys. I know that it's been said that a dog is man's best friend. I would say that Macy is my best cat friend. Of course, I have many good friends and a loving family that I can speak to about my issues, but sometimes what's best said is nothing. It might sound weird because Macy cannot audibly speak to me, but her intuition is spot on. Just knowing that she's there for me no matter what has greatly contributed to my quality of life. Don't get me wrong, Leo and Milo are special to me, but I must admit that I am partial – Macy has my heart.

Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins Deny ‘White Lotus' Feud Rumors
It's been two months since The White Lotus season 3 finale aired, and we finally have an answer to the show's most gripping cliffhanger: Why did Walton Goggins unfollow Aimee Lou Wood on Instagram? The actors, who starred as doomed lovers Rick and Chelsea in the most recent season of HBO's hit show, finally denied their rumored feud in a new joint interview with Variety. 'There is no feud,' Walton insisted. 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me.' He continued to praise her talent, comparing her to Goldie Hawn and Meg Ryan. 'She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be,' he said. 'She's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' But what about the unfollowing on Instagram? The reposting of the SNL White Lotus sketch that made fun of Aimee's teeth? And the awkward interview where Walton apparently refused to talk about Aimee? There's an answer for all of it. Rumors of a feud were originally kickstarted in April by their White Lotus co-star Jason Isaacs, who suggested that 'friendships were lost' on the set, which then inspired internet sleuths to go look. Soon, fans realized that Walton and Aimee didn't follow each other on Instagram, despite following every other main cast member. It turns out there's a simple explanation for the unfollowing: Walton and Aimee simply don't care about social media! 'Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant,' Aimee told Variety. 'We don't give a shite about Instagram.' As for Goggins, he said that he unfollowed Aimee as a way of letting go of the character of Rick. 'My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' he explained. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' Walton added that he took a step back from 'everyone' in the cast. 'I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a fuck what you think. This is my process,' he continued. You might be wondering why, then, Walton didn't feel the need to unfollow the rest of the White Lotus cast. He didn't specifically answer this question, but he did say that he was closest to Aimee throughout production and that he kept his distance from group hangs on set. Make of that what you will. Per the article, Walton was exhausted, working on Fallout, when he saw the White Lotus skit and reposted it without knowing the context. When he found out the next day, he deleted the story because he did not mean to cause any harm. If he did, he said, we'd know. 'If I'm gonna say something, but I'm gonna say it to your face,' he insisted. 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.' Walton and Aimee's supposed feud made headlines in May after the actor refused to talk about their relationship in an interview with The Times. After the interviewer, Ed Potton, asked a few more times about Aimee, Walton abruptly ended the interview. He told Variety that he didn't want to speak for Aimee and alleged that the interviewer had rudely asked if he and Aimee had bonded over their teeth. 'What he was insinuating, it was so disgusting. It was so appalling. I was flabbergasted,' he said. Now that the feud rumors have been put to bed, it seems that Walton and Aimee are just as in awe of each other as their gushing social media posts would suggest. They even re-followed each other on Instagram mid-interview. 'It's all so ridiculous,' Walton said of the Instagram drama. 'It's just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for fucking ever.'
