What are you up to this weekend? We\u2019re knocking around the neighborhood and making a fruit crumble. I\u2019ve also had a few sinus headaches this week so I might stare at the ceiling for a while! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Paul Rudd\u2019s new movie<\/a> looks compelling.<\/p>\n

Oooh, DSW is having a very good shoe sale<\/a>\u00a0this weekend (code VIPDAYS for 25% off). I\u2019m grabbing these sneakers<\/a> and these sandals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toby and I went to the Liberty WNBA game last night, and I remembered this hilarious reel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What a colorful family house.<\/a> That pink and green bathroom! (Architectural Digest)<\/p>\n

Tenderly tracking my husband<\/a>. \u201cThe third time my husband complained about not being able to refill his subway card, I began to worry that the vending machine wasn\u2019t the problem.\u201d This essay was heartbreaking and beautiful. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

Remember my friend Sharon Beesley\u2019s garden<\/a>? She started the cutest gardening Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On that note, what\u2019s your garden style<\/a>? (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

Banana Republic<\/a> is 30% off through next Tuesday. I want to spend all summer in this top<\/a> and this skirt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I believe this so strongly<\/a>. Even newborn babies are very smart, whole people!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll take this Costco sample, but only so I can make an informed purchasing decision<\/a>, hahaha.<\/p>\n

And happy strawberry cake season to all who celebrate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three more Memorial Day sales:<\/p>\n

* Ilia is 20% off site-wide<\/a>. Their mascara<\/a> is my all-time favorite.
* Macy\u2019s is up to 60% off<\/a>, including Le Creuset\u2019s dutch oven<\/a> \u2014\u00a0my mom\u2019s used hers for 45 years!
*Boden is offering 25% off<\/a> everything, like linen summer dresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Says Celia on 10 things I never travel without<\/a>: \u201cI always, always, always pack the black Commando maxi slip<\/a>. It\u2019s technically an undergarment, but layered with an oversized shirt\/sweater\/tee shirt\/jewelry\/etc, it can be adapted for any situation (dinner\/sleeping\/flights\/beach\/you name it). And it\u2019s easy to wash in the sink and hang to dry in even the smallest of rental homes.\u201d Replies SLG: \u201cWell, dang. I think this is the chicest thing I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Laraine on what are your birthday traditions<\/a>: \u201cThe birthday kid sits on our coffee table and turns to face each family member, one at a time. Parents and siblings each say something they REALLY like about the birthday person. One year, though, our youngest suggested we go around again and say what we thought they could improve on. We still laugh about that one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Gina on what\u2019s made you laugh lately<\/a>: \u201cJust wanted to say thank you for building this community. It feels like hanging out with a bunch of cool female cousins. I especially appreciate those of you who are a little further ahead in life, since your advice makes me less anxious about what comes next in my own life.\u201d<\/p>\n
