Today is my birthday so I already have a bigger communal meal planned for tomorrow - my friends and I are going to a place with board games and delicious food! No one even glances at their phones while we're there, it's great.

I’m now officially old enough to be president. My daughter says she wouldn’t mind living in the White House (I haven’t informed her about the rat infestation…) lol

MOTHERS - sounds like an important read.

Loved seeing you with Joyce Vance and reading the Five Questions. That feature is only for her paid subscribers but I'm asking her to make that one available to anyone as she has occasionally done in the past - it was so good and your responses need to be shared.

We are hosting twice this week for dinners and board games (yay!), and I already have anxiety about cleaning and hiding our daily clutter. I'm going to try to be more chill. Why do children have so many water bottle stickers and random plastic toys? It stresses me out that I have to be the one to sneak them into the garbage can. :)

MOTHERS! As a new mother, reading about others experiences has brought me tremendous joy and comfort.

Last year we hosted 52 people who had never been to our home before. AND we decided to do it while our house was still (is still) being renovated. Before we had the perfect dining room table, it's a folding table. And it was lovely. We wanted to gather, serve good food, and be an example of this is what a real perfect and imperfect home looks like.
