Hey there! So, what are your plans for the weekend? I’m feeling a bit bittersweet because my boys just headed out on a trip with their dad, and I’m already missing them like crazy! 😢 Longer breaks can be tough in the co-parenting game, right? But hey, on the bright side, I’m totally embracing some solo time, catching up with friends, and hanging out with my furry buddy, Freddie. How about you? Got anything exciting lined up? Let’s chat about it!
Weekend Finds
First up, I scored the cutest dress that’s giving me all the summer vibes! 🌼 Seriously, it’s like the perfect blend of comfy and chic. What’s your go-to summer outfit? I’d love to hear your style tips!
Also, have you ever wondered if you could have scored a job at Vogue back in the ’90s? I took this fun quiz from the NYTimes, and it’s a total blast! Who else thinks they could have nailed it? 🎤✨
If you’re feeling nostalgic, check out these rad photos from the 1970s and 1980s of kids jumping their bikes over each other. It’s giving me major childhood flashbacks! 🚴♂️💨
What to Watch
Now, let’s talk entertainment! There’s a new Billy Joel documentary out, and I can’t wait to dive in. I mean, I used to strut around my Michigan suburb listening to him on my Walkman. Those were the days! 🎶 Are you planning to watch it? What’s your favorite Billy Joel song?
And speaking of nostalgia, have you ever thought about living on a Dutch houseboat? I just read about it, and it sounds like such a unique experience! “It’s a small area, but it’s the rich life living on the water that we love.” How dreamy is that? 🌊🏡
Food and Fun
Let’s get into the kitchen for a second—my boys and I recently made a caprese chicken dish, and we’re giving it five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What are your go-to easy dinners? I’m always on the lookout for new ideas!
And here’s a fun little tidbit: Did you know Barilla has Spotify playlists timed perfectly for making al dente pasta? Just pick your pasta shape, boil the water, and hit play. Genius, right? 🍝
Reader Reactions
Before I wrap this up, I wanted to share some hilarious reader comments that made my day:
- Carolin shared a wild fun fact: “If you start counting from zero, your lips won’t touch again until you reach one million. Isn’t that weirdly sexy?” 😂
- Karin opened up about the ups and downs of puberty and perimenopause with her daughter, and it’s such a relatable moment! 💖
- Laura reminded us about those Barilla playlists—who knew cooking could be so musical?
And as a little behind-the-scenes insight, my phone buzzed with excitement last night when I received a copy of *Mixed Feelings* by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck. Can’t wait to dive into that! 📚✨
Alright, friends, that’s a wrap for this weekend’s musings and finds! Let’s keep the conversation going—what are you looking forward to this weekend? Share your thoughts below! 💬
