Have a Lovely Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? This evening, I’m going to take a nice long walk and call my twin sister (above, right). The weather in NYC has been so crisp and beautiful lately! Hope you have a good one, and here are are a few links from around the web…

How to create the life you want.

All my friends are wearing this lipgloss right now.

Will you see the new Downton Abbey movie? I remember when the first movie came out, SNL asked, “Were the stakes always this low?” Made me laugh.

Cool pants for evening walks.

How ADHD shaped my life without my knowing it. “I always thought I was a uniquely f*cked-up fraud. Discovering that I was actually part of a big, chaotic sisterhood felt like being ushered into a secret group that I’d been searching for my entire life.” (Elle)

Ooh, wouldn’t you love to take a trip around Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way?

Cabbage and halloumi skewers.

Three lovely sweaters: waffle, merino, balloon.

Wait, this is IKEA?

A new children’s story about a kid who doesn’t make friends easily. What beautiful thinking behind it.

Currently fantasizing over these sparkly gem cakes.

Hahahaha.

Plus, four reader comments:

Says Kim on moms in the picture: “I love how many of these photos are of children just LYING ON TOP of their moms. It’s really physical being a mother, and these pictures show that so well.”

Says Ashley on two birthing moments I’m looking forward to: “I had a C-section for my son, and aside from my husband, the room was filled with women. As they were getting ready to cut me open, my husband cued up the first song of my birth playlist: ‘Always Be My Baby’ by Mariah Carey. The entire room started singing along. It was truly the most joyous occasion.”

Says Anita on do you wax your bikini line: “As perimenopause and menopause hit, I developed a bald patch on my pubic mound! Anyone else with an experience like this?” Replies Kay: “My friend calls it ‘The Costanza.’ We were literally just talking about this last night at dinner!”

Says Allie on do you wax your bikini line: “Gah, this is yet another reason I love CoJ. Even if you’re in a season where you don’t have close girlfriends to talk to about things like this, you always have the CoJ community. It’s like that C.S. Lewis quote: ‘Friendship…is born at the moment when one says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought that no one but myself.’”
