1. Love the Jenny Slate quote.

2. YES to the butterfly light switch plates.

3. I made that pasta and I was taking out my garlic from the oven, THE WHOLE BAKING DISH OF BUTTER AND GARLIC EXPLODED, shattering everywhere and spraying garlic butter all over. No one was hurt at all, so the mess of it all was almost funny, but the sad part was having to start the garlic all over. But! A great reminder to make this again!!!

Ommgggg that is bananas!! I've never had a baking dish explode! I am proud of you for being so good natured, I would have certainly burst into tears. I'll be thinking of you tonight when I make this, haha!

Also I’m not a strong swimmer and nervous about open water but... I want to do this! Do you just hop in like waist high and duck down and jump out and then live to tell the tale?

I'm NOT a strong swimmer and very unathletic (whatever you're picturing, less athletic than that). Luckily I was with others who had done it before, so I just copied them. It was low tide, so the waves were crashing around waist high, so we ran out to where they were breaking and dove under as they crashed. Terrifying. But happily I survived.

Thank you, yes, I'm a mermaid. (just kidding. important note, it was not the first time i've dived under a wave — if it had been, i would be dead and there would be no handpicked today)

Always a good day when your link lists come out! 🌞 Bookmarking the anxiety book and that lovely dress! Loved the ice breakers. But mostly, the swift meme takes the cake. SO good! xx

Give me all the swift memes! As a mother of two fans and a spouse of an NFL employee, it's all we talk about. BUT since I don't have social media feeds, I have been missing all the content! So send it on over!
