What are you up to this weekend? Toby has a big baseball game tonight, so we’re going to cheer him on. Also, we’re discussing dirty talk on Big Saladif anyone wants to weigh in. It’s a fun conversation! Have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…
Will be wearing these shorts all summer.
Whattttt !!! Olivia Colman is going to play Mrs. Bennet in Dolly Alderton’s six-part series of Pride and Prejudice.
Enjoyed Youngna Park’s newsletter about kids and money. “[My son] tells me that a kid in his class who is ‘not really a friend’ has offered him a deal. If he carries this kid’s lunchbox and water bottle up the stairs every day after recess for the rest of the year, this kid has promised him a ‘bag of money.’”
How stunning are these candlesticks?
My group chat is raving about this summer nail color.

Do you listen to the podcast The bodybuilders? It’s really funny, especially the episodes with Mike Birbiglia and Amy Poehler (she talks about menopause and aging, and they hang on every word).
Two desserts to feed a crowd.
I think about this iconic post every few weeks of my adult life.
Plus, three reader comments:
Says Amanda on 10 surprising parenting tips: “As a parent of an 18-year-old and 14-year-old, I have three words for you: The Sibling Date. We realized our kids get along great on vacation, when it’s just the two of them and they don’t have distractions. So, at home, when they start driving each other (and us) crazy, we send them on an errand together. Rule is no phones except for navigation. They run the errand, we buy them lunch. They think they’re doing something for us, but we’re actually getting them to talk to each other. First time we did it, they came home with a plan for the rest of the afternoon.”
Says Cheryl on 10 surprising parenting tips: “Take more videos of YOU with your kid. Reading a bedtime story, singing a song together, sharing drawings you’ve done side by side. It’s something you and your kids will cherish as you all grow older. I recently recovered some home videos from family trips with my parents, and they brought me so much joy.”
Says Ari on Marry Me Beans: “My husband of 10 years said these were the best thing I’ve ever made. We’ve been going through a difficult patch together but still have a sense of humor. I told him these were called, ‘Stay Married to Me Beans.’”
