Four Fun Things

I just wasted way too much time on Window Swap. There are some birds eating peanuts that are comedy gold!

The Babysitter’s Club was the first book series I ever read. I was six and I loved Stacey and Claudia (who had me at telephone earrings).
Now I have a seven year old daughter, Zoey, who is a Type 1 Diabetic, like Stacey. She was in awe to see a character like her depicted on a TV show and would watch the episodes on the edge of her seat with excitement. I thought my heart would burst.
The absolute best part is recently, when a girl Zoey’s age was swimming at the pool asked her about her insulin pump, my daughter replied she’s Type 1. Usually this explanation is met with a vacant stare because it’s a pretty rare disease and not easy for kids to grasp.
“Oh,” the girl replied, with a big smile. “Like Stacey from the Babysitter’s Club! Cool!”
Zoey was overjoyed.
Needless to say, Stacey is her favorite character too.

I didn’t read the books, but my 18-year-old and I have been watching and it’s so cute and calming and just what we need right now. Very well done and all the accolades are well deserved.

I’ve been a Claudia since 1998.

I’ve been looking out my window so much this quarantine, it’s so soothing and replenishing! Definitely lots of stuff going on out there, Definitely took lots of video, feels like my own little Sofia Coppola movie. I can’t remember people hanging out on their roofs so often during pre-covid summers!

i actually usually don’t like that kind of thing (except as a kid in the 90s obsessed with adidas!) but thought it was a nice touch on these!

I read all the babysitter clubs books growing up and was so excited for the TV show! It was so great and I loved it! Glad to see a new generation of children enjoying the books and I cannot wait to share them with my future children.

I always love the 4 fun things post.
Love the Babysitters and the window thing is kind of a wonder.
Those are v. cute pants too- they are out of my size but I will check back and maybe luck out.
My four fun things this week are a ghost key ring from Laurien Stern, Derry Girls on Netflix, re-reading Tiny Beautiful Things, and smoothies made with lots of berries and almond butter.

I will check out the Black Frasier podcast. Thank you

The window view made me crack up, as my current window view is out my apartment which is at eye level with the elevated subway tracks where construction workers regularly pee off the edge of the platform! So fun, right?! I wonder if anybody wants to see that view?

How can people walk around in long-sleeve shirts? It’s always 100+ degrees where I live, and even tank tops and shorts are too much clothing sometimes. I know fabric makes a lot of difference, but long sleeves sound awful.
