How was your weekend? A few months ago, a lovely CoJ reader named Molly asked if everyone could share weekend recaps now and again. Here’s mine, and please share yours in the comments, if you’d like…
Our weekend was busier than usual! Our beloved old babysitter Carolyn came to visit from Kansas City. She stayed with friends but stopped by our place for a squeeze. How sweet is her baby Bernie??
Nailed it, haha.
That evening, Freddie and I watched A Separation, a 2011 Iranian film about a tough chapter during a marriage. Have you seen it? The acting was phenomenal, and although four people were in conflict, you understood everyone’s perspective, which is what made it so beautiful and devastating.
On Saturday, Anton and his friend gave themselves a hilarious personal challenge: run five miles, bike five miles, win a Fortnight game, make a steak, bake a cake. And they did it all!
Inspired by Jannelle, I also tried a scarf. Not sure I pulled it off, but it was fun to play around with it. (Cool travel ones here, too.)
The next morning, Anton and I went on a little adventure to Central Park. We ended up walking around and renting a row boat. Anton snapped a photo of himself and said, “This is how dads take pictures — just your frowning face in one corner of the shot.” Made me laugh so much.
Finally, on Sunday evening, my bff Gemma from London came to visit with her older two boys.
I got her room ready, and we ended up lying together and catching up.
Then we ordered pizzas, and I made a salad with lettuce, cucumbers, and feta. Freddie’s taught me how to shop the fridge for ingredients and not be nervous to just combine things. That probably sounds really intuitive to most people but wasn’t for me!
And how cute is Gemma’s ankle bracelet? “It was like three euro from a beachside kiosk this summer,” she told me, “But this one is similar.” xoxo
What were you up to this weekend? Any ups or downs? Here for it all. xoxoxo
P.S. More weekend recaps, and the best reader comments of all time.
