We have a lot to do this weekend in the run-up to a week’s vacation starting next Friday night. It’s time to make lists!
I hope that your weekend is perfection!
- While we are distracted by news coming from all directions, news of immigrant families, separated at the border, has quieted. Most families are still not reunited.
RAICES, a nonprofit group that offers free and low-cost legal services to immigrants and refugees, offered $20 million as bond for immigrant mothers to be released from detention centers. - Instead of “coming out,” Karamo Brown uses the phrase “letting people in.”
- Check out this apartment. I love the floor.
- Let’s stop time. “Why?”, you ask. So that we can read every book in Bustle’s 10 Books to Read and Discuss This Summer With Your Mom & Grandma. (Also, I haven’t read anything from the New York Time’s Book Review summer reading list, which I shared with you a few weeks ago.)
- Joy the Baker’s Strawberry Shortcake Doughnuts might make me reconsider frying.
- J. Crew is having a big sale, including some cute shoes. Here are some favorites:
- While we are celebrating the long evenings of July, let’s have one of these Springtime in Paris cocktails.
- Goodness: The boys and their coach have been rescued! My heart goes out to the family of the Navy Seal diver, Saman Kunan, who lost his life while helping to save the boys.
