What are you up to this weekend? We\u2019re going swimming at Freddie\u2019s<\/a> community pool, and\u00a0the boys are psyched for the diving board. Also, a big thank you to Ali LaBelle for featuring me in her newsletter<\/a> \u2014\u00a0her intro made me cry! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Are you into the nightgown trend? This dress is really pretty.<\/a> (Love this one<\/a>, too.)<\/p>\n

What a cool dessert<\/a>, of all things.<\/p>\n

The real reason<\/a> the Knicks are winning this year.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to watching the new Little House on the Prairie<\/a> with my kids.<\/p>\n

Want to stay on trend? Stop brushing your hair<\/a>. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

Oh my gosh, this dinner salad<\/a> looks delicious. We swear by so many of Caro\u2019s recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An Italian carousel<\/a> of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

I never thought I\u2019d get excited about laundry detergent, but here we are<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Remember driving by your crush\u2019s house in high school? This really made me laugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The #1 thing I\u2019m packing for summer trips<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Busted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the 15 best books to read this summer<\/a>, including a staggeringly good new novel<\/a>. (Big Salad, paywalled, we\u2019re always so grateful for your support)<\/p>\n

Plus, three reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says JA9 on what\u2019s on your resume of special skills<\/a>: \u201cI think it\u2019s so funny that Elmo is having a PR crisis because he said he hoped both teams had fun in the NBA finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Meesh on what\u2019s on your resume of special skills<\/a>: \u201cMy special skill is that I\u2019m able to make people feel \u2018invited in.\u2019 Give me a new space or situation, and I can help people feel at ease. This leads to random moments of community at the store, bus stop, or airport. It feels a bit odd to \u2018write out loud\u2019, but I do think that my superpower is being a little slice of home for others!\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Erin on what\u2019s on your resume of special skills<\/a>: \u201cNot to brag, but I am a fast pee-er.\u201d<\/p>\n
