What’s on your agenda this weekend? Anton has a sleepover tonight, and tomorrow we’re off to Europe to see family. I can’t wait to hug my aunts and play with my cousins. Have a wonderful weekend, and here’s a collection of links from around the web…
Wow, the new Olivia Colman film appears to be a thrilling adventure.
Could The Sound of Music serve as our fashion guide?
I’m bringing to England this renowned lipstick that looks good on everyone, so my aunts, my cousins, and I can all try it together. (FYI, it’s 40% off.)
Chickpeas al limone.
The telegram that transformed my life. “I phoned my father to share my news. He was silent for a moment until his shock was so intense that he dropped his favorite coffee mug, which I heard shatter.”
The capacity for making mistakes is a major virtue.
I’d love to sport this stylish windbreaker with those casual pants.
How delightful is this vibrant London cottage?
An excellent essay about giving children their own rooms. “We mentioned to her that we’d contemplate separate rooms, a parental way of expressing the lack of bandwidth to decide right now. Naturally, she found this answer deeply unsatisfying.”
Hahahaha, a flawless suggestion.
An effortless method to offer teens just a bit more autonomy.
The flower girl nodded off. xoxoxo
Plus, three reader remarks:
Betsy comments on Toby’s pro tip for dining out: “Throughout my pregnancy, my husband has shared in my sobriety. He still enjoys attending hardcore punk shows at local bars, so he’ll ask for a Shirley Temple at the bar and the bartender instantly sides with him. Last time, he received unlimited refills. (Also, seeing these glimpses of what lovely, fascinating individuals your children have grown into is making my hormonal heart melt. Like, I’m so eager to meet my baby but equally EXCITED to watch her grow up.)”
Marnie remarks on getting out of a reading slump: “I have a quote from Fellowship Point on my fridge. ‘There are a lot of bad ideas in the world. I have less and less patience with any ideas at all. Animals, flowers, the sea. Friends. Children. Art. The end.’ My God, I adored that book.”
Grace shares about overcoming a reading slump: “If you have a child in your life, read what they’re reading. Ideally, it will be something they adore, or maybe you’ll accompany them as they struggle to engage with their assigned reading. My parents, my sisters, and I all dove into the Percy Jackson series with my step-daughter. It was so enjoyable to enter her world and engage in deep discussions about what she thought of the characters’ decisions.”
