What are you doing this weekend?If I can convince the boys to join me, I’m going to stop by the Hopey Stockman Hill art gallery that opens tonight. Her still life paintings, inspired by her fertility journey, are beautiful and moving. I would appreciate any good links. Here are some fun links from around the web…
My mother was surprised at my boyfriend’s age. To be honest, so did I! (Big Salad)
I’ve been seeing the wide leg sweatpants trend around town and these are my favorite.
“Actual words parents said while watching their son’s swimming class” haha.
Why not tell someone they’re having a nice day? According to the New York Times, strangers are saying nice things to each other. Manhattan spokeswoman Caitlin Phillips said, “‘Oh, it’s definitely on the upswing.’ She said she gets random compliments on her outfit four times in one week.” (NYTimes Gift link)
I’m looking forward to wearing this lip color to the party tomorrow.
The boys and I played this fun game about how well you know someone.
Japanese stores have begun selling mayonnaise drinks that say, “People are forgetting the important adage that all mayonnaise is drinkable if you believe in yourself.”
Samantha Irby’s very specific playlist. “It’s early afternoon. The sun is shining through the window, giving a sense of warmth. Your house is quiet, you’re yawning, cozy in your favorite armchair. The TV remote is too far away on the coffee table. But I go to bed embarrassingly early. I decided to read!! You know how to read! !!!!!! But reading without any background noise makes you feel like you’re in a padded cell. Listening to classical music while reading is a no-no because it feels totally ridiculous. It’s like pretending to be a smart person in a movie when you’re clearly a stupid person on this planet…I’m at work. – Progression playlists are called good background noise at times like this!”
Is this the most beautiful winter song? It makes me cry all the time.
If you’re ordering pizza for a holiday gathering, consider this Burrata Snowman.
My kids would agree.

Anne shares her secret to enjoying family gatherings: This year, I finally realized that if I want Christmas to be this way, it’s up to me to make it happen. Yesterday I received a tree, made a caramel apple cake, and watched “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I’m planning a weekend of holiday-themed activities (ice skating, light night, Christmas markets!). And I’m buying Christmas decorations. I finally accepted that it’s important to me that my apartment looks bright and cozy from the street, and it’s worth spending a little money to make it happen. This year is the first year as an adult that I feel like I’m in charge of my life, and I’m really enjoying it. ”
