this & that: june 2019

Summer is in full swing! I’d love to know how you all do your summers. Do you just let the days run their course or do you have a daily schedule? I have to admit, I don’t achieve my ideal summer day every day, which I envision as a balance of scheduled and free time. Schedule takes discipline and that just seems to go out the window when there’s no external accountability for it (like school.) Tips would be appreciated!

For now, I’m going to seize this lazy Saturday morning and browse these links. Join me!

The original list of Mayflower passengers. Might refer to this next time I need baby name ideas. Options include: Love, Wrestling, Humility, Desire, and Oceanus.

Hahaha baby sleep training parents, that seems more accurate. So true it hurts. So much my life right now (and my baby is 11 months!)

But really I can’t complain about lack of sleep after learning about fatal insomnia.

It was a total treat to rewatch my favorite movie on a recent flight back from California. Every scene, every line, every shot (save one, maybe…) is perfect.

Stain removal tip! You’re welcome.

How not to burn your ass off in the kitchen. You’re welcome again.

I don’t really drink soda, but when I do, I’m going to make sure it’s one of these hyper-regional varieties.

I’ve been really excited at the start of this all-encompassing food site started by Mark Bittman.

This photo series by artist and mother Annie Wang is SO fascinating.
