What are you up to this weekend? Our AC is broken, so we\u2019ve decamped to our friends\u2019 house for a few days. We\u2019re going to watch The Sheep Detectives<\/a> \u2014\u00a0I think I\u2019m more excited than the boys are! Hope you have a good one \u2014\u00a0stay safe with this wildfire air \u2014\u00a0and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

The new series Ride or Die<\/a> looks really fun and gets a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

When A.I. is a part of the family<\/a> \u2014\u00a0the profile,\u00a0of a single mom, her two daughters, and a chatbot in Cleveland, blew my mind. (The New Yorker)<\/p>\n

J.Crew is 30% off<\/a> right now, and I\u2019m eyeing this pair of shorts<\/a>, dress<\/a>, and swimsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ohio buckeye brownies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should I put in my non-working fireplace?\u201d<\/a> Three designers answer the question. (New York Magazine)<\/p>\n

The #1 gift<\/a> all preteens\/teens actually want, now and forever.<\/p>\n

Suns out, bumps out? These maternity photos are so cool<\/a>. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

New foods at the 2026 Minnesota State Fair<\/a>. I\u2019ll take a mustache pretzel.<\/p>\n

Our girl Jenny had to get brain surgery<\/a> (!) and she\u2019s now recovering well. Sending her all the love and pasta and meatballs. xoxoxoxo<\/p>\n

How amazing is this room makeover<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

As someone who hates grocery shopping, I\u2019ve found this annual membership<\/a> to be a total lifesaver. (Plus, right now all new members get $60 off<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Nobody puts zucchini in a corner.<\/a><\/p>\n

Would you ever do a pre-nup? Or a post-nup?<\/a> \u201cMost couples don\u2019t realize that every marriage already has a prenup, a legal contract that\u2019s dictated by your state,\u201d says James Sexton, Esq., a divorce attorney\u2026 \u201cI believe couples should set their own rules, not ones written by the state legislature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, my top 50 movies of the 21st century<\/a>. What are yours??? I\u2019m dying to hear. (Big Salad, thank you so much for your support!)<\/p>\n

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

Says Kim on how would (or did) you do your wedding hair<\/a>: \u201cA long time ago, I thought I was about to get married. While working in New York City, I went to Bergdorf Goodman, just for fun, and saw a stunning crystal beaded headband. It cost a small fortune, but I bought it. Alas, I did NOT get married then. Not even asked! Silly me. But four years after that, I DID get married, and that crystal headband was still my absolute choice. Worked into a swept updo, by my dear friend, a hairdresser I\u2019d known for decades. We cried when he set it on my head, because he knew how my heart had broken in the past. I still have it. Worth every penny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Dana on my #1 trick for having fun at the beach<\/a>: \u201cWhen my kids were little, the biggest hit was a spray bottle<\/a>. They\u2019d fill it up in the shallow water and then spray\u2026anything! The air! The sand! Mom\u2019s feet! It wasn\u2019t something they could do at home (since spray bottles were full of cleaning fluids), so it was a VERY popular tool at the beach. Have fun, you simple little beings.\u201d<\/p>\n
