Have a Beautiful Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? We just went to our friend’s house for pizza. I asked each kid for two words to describe the first week back at school, and they said, respectively, “fun and chaotic,” “peaceful and nice,” and “VERY BORING,” lol. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…

The parenting tip I can’t stop thinking about. (Big Salad)

Oooh, I think I’ve found my fall uniform.

Six European cities where you can swim in the wild. The photos are so enticing! (NYTimes gift link)

Harris and Walz, intentionally or not, are presenting something different: a sitcom vibe. “Blended families, cool woman/dorky guy, and woman in charge were all 80s sitcom staples.”

The trailer for Will & Harper is so moving, don’t you think?

Yay, my go-to sneakers are back in stock.

The world’s best first class airlines, dang!!

The coolest looks at the Venice Film Festival. Love the dresses. (NYTimes gift link)

Who’s hungry for lifestyle pancakes?

Vintage Swedish packaging.

Plus, two reader comments…

Says Megan on four fun things: “Lord help me but tomorrow morning I wake up with a middle schooler. We spent the longest time talking about which pair of identical sports shorts make him feel the most comfortable, and he wants to wake up early so he has time to gel his hair. Gel. His. Hair. Like that is something someone does who I swear was just yesterday in an Ergo. Anyone else feeling particularly nostalgic?”

Says Marie on back to school pep talks: “First days are hard but it’s only your first day for one day. This advice from my mother has gotten me through so many.”
