Have a Lovely Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? We’re going swimming at Freddie’s community pool, and the boys are psyched for the diving board. Also, a big thank you to Ali LaBelle for featuring me in her newsletter — her intro made me cry! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

Are you into the nightgown trend? This dress is really pretty. (Love this one, too.)

What a cool dessert, of all things.

The real reason the Knicks are winning this year.

Looking forward to watching the new Little House on the Prairie with my kids.

Oh my gosh, this dinner salad looks delicious. We swear by so many of Caro’s recipes.

An Italian carousel of fruits and vegetables.

I never thought I’d get excited about laundry detergent, but here we are!

Remember driving by your crush’s house in high school? This really made me laugh.

The #1 thing I’m packing for summer trips.

Busted.

Finally, the 15 best books to read this summer, including a staggeringly good new novel. (Big Salad, paywalled, we’re always so grateful for your support)

Plus, three reader comments:

Says JA9 on what’s on your resume of special skills: “I think it’s so funny that Elmo is having a PR crisis because he said he hoped both teams had fun in the NBA finals.”

Says Meesh on what’s on your resume of special skills: “My special skill is that I’m able to make people feel ‘invited in.’ Give me a new space or situation, and I can help people feel at ease. This leads to random moments of community at the store, bus stop, or airport. It feels a bit odd to ‘write out loud’, but I do think that my superpower is being a little slice of home for others!”

Says Erin on what’s on your resume of special skills: “Not to brag, but I am a fast pee-er.”
