Have a Fun Weekend.

I have been using Clinique eyelash curlers for years now and I adore them; they make you feel great on no-makeup days!

Thanks for introducing Jessica; what an amazing story/illustration.

Have a great week.

LOVE Caroline’s new hair! Absolutely beautiful.

I love the made me laugh link! Thanks for making my day again! :)

Oh I’ve been loving your blog so much lately, Jo! Sometimes, it’s just what I need. Keep going! :) P.S. now I’m hooked on Serial!

“The really bad month” is beautifully done…so heartbreaking and honest. I hope Jessica has some people come into her life who will love her for real…it doesn’t sound like her ex or friend did at all. Love makes the difference between feeling underwater with no options and feeling empowered to see other choices.

Thank you for sharing those links! I loved the ballet dancers and Disney Princesses! I
I hope you will have a great weekend and enjoy the tube concert!
I am going to Zurich to attend Mercedes Benz Fashion Days. It is my first time and I am excited:-)

Love your posts, especially today’s one on idioms. As a Kiwi (New Zealander), we are very au fait with the British idioms but can only imagine if you’d heard them for the first time, they would seem so strange! One US idiom I was completely bamboozled by was ‘bangs’! I had to Google it. We call them fringes, as do the English… One of our own idioms that gets foreigners v. confused is ‘bring a plate’, meaning, a plate of food to someone’s BBQ, lunch, dinner party, etc. Anyway, thanks so much for your wonderful inspiring posts, I always look forward to reading them! Mary-Liz :-)

Caroline looks amazing! Very ‘Natalie Wood.’ Great choice. Happy Weekend!

My daughter’s name is Juliet and August was on the list for our son (he ended up being an Edmund). I guess I’m a trendsetter!

Ha love that baby on the airplane? what happened during turbulence? how did our parents and grandparents survive with that and lack of car seats? :)

Don’t Break The Ice! omg i had to laugh b/c we play this as a drinking game. chug a beer or take a shot if you break the ice ;)

Wow, Caroline! Stunning!!

The pasta article is so helpful. Yeah, Trader Joes, so good and so reasonable.

Caroline’s haircut makes her look sophisticated, and she should love it!

This is completely not my business, but it seems like you might be a little blue lately (maybe light blue…like Mediterranean ocean water blue). So just wanted to send good thoughts to you and your crew. I might be super wrong, but the good thoughts are non-refundable.

Anyway, I always enjoy your posts- thank you :)

Dayum, Caroline!!

Long time reader, first time commenter? commentator ? lol, either way i just wanted to say your “have a Fun Weekend” post are by far my favorite things to read on Fridays, and some times all week!!! Keep it up PLEASE!!!!!!

That baby on the airplane picture is hilarious, although it probably made for much more pleasant flights!

A Really Bad Month was so powerful, but the part that made me the most angry on the writer’s behalf, is when her friend bailed on her for the Apple Store! WTF?? The ex-boyfriend being a jerk was obviously bad too, but her friend?? Unacceptable.

madie, i agree!!!!

haha, katie b, my cousins always say “cheap as chips”!

I always look forward to your weekend roundup, but this week’s was especially interesting/funny/thought-provoking. The British idioms – I think most of them would be instantly understandable to an Anglophone Canadian, too – certainly I remember being told not to be such a nosy parker as a kid:)

alexis, i wish! she is so cool! we found it online somewhere—it was taken by mark (his link is in the credit). thank you!! xo

Caroline’s hair is amazing!
Joanna, just wanted to give my friend Jessica Olien props on her work, “A Really Bad Month.” Looks like you’re crediting Miss Moss? Here’s Jessica’s site. http://www.jessicaolien.com/
Thanks for another great weekend post. I love kicking my Fri morning off with you!

what a coincidence we just started with don’t break the ice this week too. 4.5 year old says it’s the best game ever and even the 2.5 year old can play it pretty well. Won’t be too long before Anton can join in.

Yes, awesome picture. Who is that in the photo? Does he have more in a series?

Enjoy a great tuba concert! Sounds wonderful, would like to hear about the boys reaction, if you feel like it!

Love Carolines new haircut. It suits her well even with the pout.
The baby flying is awesome, I wish it was that easy now!

What a great photo! Is that you? If so, how cool! If not, you’re still cool, but where did you find it? ;)

Oh my goodness! I’ve lurked at your site forever (although I may have commented last year, having been inspired by you to buy that plaid Madewell scarf). But that photo’s by Mark, my good friend and neighbour — so odd to recognize it — he recently shared a wonderful painting-in-progress that an artist friend’s creating, based on this photo. . .
