What are you doing this weekend? I will do it north fork Hanging out with friends, eating kettle chips as the sun goes down, and returning Sunday morning to watch the boys play sports. (That sports mom life!) I wish you the best of luck. Manage it carefully. Here are some links from around the web…
found best layering tank in summer. (also T-shirt that fits your body perfectly!)
Who wants some? green pizza?
My son’s kindergarten graduation speech. “Today I stand before you not sure what is happening. You’re all here, taking videos, some of you crying, saying you’re proud of us. And I know in my heart that means I’m going to have ice cream at the end of the day.”
Get summer style inspiration in this movie.
This documentary about the “Brat Pack” of the 1980s looks fascinating.. (Think: Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Charlie Sheen, Demi Moore…”
Michelle Obama’s mother, Marianne Robinson, died this week., and I loved reading what she said to her children: “Don’t worry if other people like you. come home We will always love you here.”
Sally Rooney a new book is coming out!
Always potato salad (or potatoes in any form).
Today’s Big Salad Peyton Diggs, an accomplished author and podcaster, tells us which songs you should play if you want to fall in love. also, her favorite shortsThe best movie ever made, and sexy… pen? She made us laugh exactly 18 times. Read the issue here., if you wish. (paywall)
Plus, here are three reader comments:
What does Ashley think will happen when you die? “I am a pediatric oncology chaplain. And when my six-year-old asks me about my work, I try to answer appropriately and honestly. She asks many questions about death. I told her: ‘When we die, our bodies provide nutrients to the Earth so that more life can grow. Our love remains in the hearts of our friends and family who love us. ‘Whether we live or die, there is no place where we will not be surrounded by a love that is bigger than this world and longer than our lives.’ Now, when she buries her dead bugs, she says, ‘Don’t be scared!’ You are loved! i love you!'”
Katy says of the three ‘Parent Trap’ looks on my summer moodboard: “Parent Trap was one of my favorite movies as a child. I let my 6-year-old watch it a few weeks ago, and five minutes into the end he asked, ‘When are you going to lock your parents up?’ The lack of physical traps (falling into pits, cages, etc.) was definitely very disappointing.”
Kat Selah shares four interesting points: “Joanna, I want to tell you how much I value your recommendation. I know this feels like the whole internet, but it’s like having the coolest sister who knows the answers to all the questions I didn’t know about in advance. ‘How can I get my child to enjoy applying sunscreen?’ ‘Of course, the whipped cream screen!’ ‘What should we feed our children?’ ‘The tuna is melting!’ ‘What happens after we die?’ ‘I know who the F is, but we can talk about it and hug (virtually)!’ And what’s even more perfect is that I like all the recommendations and their fashion sense is completely different. So, this is a great opportunity to think, ‘It’s good for him, not for me!’ I have read this blog every day for the past ten years, and it has filled me with joy, wonder, and gratitude. “That’s not how I usually feel on the internet.” [Ed. note: Thank you so much, Kat. Sobbbbb!]
Good one. kisses and hugs
