Have a Lovely Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? We’re hanging out with my dad, aunt and brother, and it has been so wonderful to see them. Toby and my brother look like twins these days! Hope you have a good one — take gentle care — and here are a few links from around the web…

What a magical English garden.

Very blueberry-y blueberry muffins.

Have you heard the slang ‘for the plot?’ “As in: Should I adopt another dog? ‘Yes! For the plot!’”

Baby lambs. xoxo

Also, I’m wondering: Where do you get your news? The NYTimes site? Ezra Klein? The Guardian? Podcasts? Please share below, if you’d like.

Plus, three reader comments:

Says Summer on what disability taught me about parenting: “I grew up with a disabled mom, and she taught me to see the world in different ways — it made me a more empathetic person for life. My mom sometimes caught judgement for being a disabled mom with a small kid, but that’s such ableist B.S. I never would have wanted a different mom than the amazing one I have.”

Says Natalie on a journaling club is a brilliant way to make friends: “I was at an event tonight with a few women I only know peripherally when one of them asked us each to reveal our first email addresses. It was embarrassing, endearing and hilarious! Highly recommend as a conversation starter.”

Says Lauren on a journaling club is a brilliant way to make friends: “Dream blunt rotation.”
