\"Daisy<\/p>\n

Will you be watching Sense and Sensibility<\/a>, which comes out tomorrow in theaters? The NYTimes review<\/a> calls it \u201cvisually lovely, emphasizing the wide gulf between the stuffy world of manners and pecking orders and the wild freedom of forests and moors\u201d with a \u201clooser and more realist feel than many other Austen adaptations, which run toward the corseted side of things.\u201d Sign me up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We host a lot of overnight guests, especially teenagers, and my friend Mo (of four kids fame<\/a>) suggested we get an extra twin mattress<\/a>. How smart is that? Since it\u2019s a real mattress, it\u2019s WAY comfier than an air mattress (never again); it\u2019s light enough to easily carry up and down stairs; and we just slide it under one of our double beds for storage.<\/p>\n

\"white<\/p>\n

What delicious dinners have you made recently? We made white chicken chili<\/a> (gift link) the other night, and the boys devoured it. Plus, it was even better the following day for a work-from-home lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good news: Rothy\u2019s clogs<\/a> and mules<\/a> are currently up to 25% off. I keep my cozy slip-ons<\/a> by the door to throw on for neighborhood hijinks, like running to the grocery store, walking around the block with a friend, or watching my kids do wheelies down the street (\u201cLook, Mom!!!\u201d).<\/p>\n

P.S. More fun things<\/a>, and an anxiety trick<\/a>.<\/p>\n
