I’m currently listening to your “Stuck, but Still Vibing” playlist and wow your taste in music is so good! When I was PP my taste was significantly more angsty and (I’ll say it) depressing. I continue to love TNTT!! Each link it fun to click and feels like it’s a real, life recommendation from a real, life friend. Can I just say how rare that feels nowadays?!
Thank you, Ginny!!! And ofc — it was truly hard to figure out which of your letters to link because they’ve all been so 10/10. Keep doing what you’re doing, girl! 🫶🏼
This is the most lovely, refreshing and casual chat with a friend style of post and I ate every last bit of it up!!! I adore the way you write about fashion, motherhood and life with such ease. It really is like catching up over coffee which AHEM I AM SO GLAD we did IRL!!! Many more to come! Xo
You know I love that vest! But I also love your Agolde jeans, and your brother-in-law’s thoughtful advice. I’m currently reading It’s a Love Story - am really enjoying it!
Thank you for reading, Lindsay! I’m seriously contemplating getting the vest in another color because I’m wearing it A LOT. Oooh, I’d love to hear what you think about It’s a Love Story when you’re done. It was the perfect amount of cheese for me!
I’m personally a believer in multiples! There are too many good colors in the world, and if you already love something, even better! So far I like how unique the main female character feels, and I think she really captured Dan’s family dynamic (but I think I’m only halfway through)!
Oooooh that magnesium looks like a must try (I’m a connoisseur 🤪😜) FamCal makes an app that I really like for keeping things straight. It has a budget tool too not super complicated. This is a perfect Sunday read! Xx
Thank you for reading, Jennifer! Means a lot. And hellooooo magnesium expert! Are there any other brands you’d recommend?! The only other one I’ve tried is moon juice. And thanks so much for the organization tip - I’ll check that app out! Sounds like a great one.
hey! I'm here following a recommendation from Emily GD!!! Fellow past Anthro-employees unite! Fun fact, I worked on the display team one summer and helped make faux quilts and a huge fall leaves display, each leaf was painstakingly made but so fun. loved your red light therapy bit :)
Yay, welcome!!! Emily GD is the GD best. And it’s lovely to meet another former Anthropologist! That is *so* cool that you were on the display team — sounds like a dreamy summer to me. Thanks for reading :)
lol I do my red light therapy mask when my kid is awake and my toddler shrieks with delight as I chase her down the hall wearing it 😂 I’m sure she’ll bring it up in therapy one day.
I have a friend who is the most organized person I know and she has a rotating meal plan - three to four recipe options for each day Monday to Thursday, takeout Fridays. It allows for variation without mental load. I’m trying to implement this to streamline life!
Hahahaha okay now I want to try that with my toddler. It could truly go either way, but maybe mine might find it hilarious, too 😂
And thank you for sharing that organization tip! Currently very overwhelmed by figuring out what we’re all eating, so I love the balance of that strategy. Smart friend!
Ofc, and thank YOU for writing! We actually had a hang with some neighbors this morning — didn’t listen to succession (missed opportunity) but we laughed with our kids and shared food and it was so lovely! I’m not sure I would have invited them over if I hadn’t read your essay recently. Putting in the effort really pays off. 🫶🏼
I LOVE how your mum puts it, too! So wise. And that makes my day that you went forward with the Uniqlo socks!!! Did you order or buy in person and which color(s) did you go with?? I grabbed red, pink, blue, and green hehe
Hi, fellow new mom here 👋💕 Thank you for sharing your journey and current reality. I would love to know more about apps to help stay organized with events and playdates too! Please share if you discover something. The main resource I know of *discovering* kid-friendly events is the Mommy Poppins newsletter-- have you heard of it?
Hello fellow new mom!!! So happy to connect with ya. I’ll definitely keep you posted on what we end up using to stay organized — it’s my summer mission to get that sorted so wish me luck. I’ve never heard of the mommy poppins newsletter — thanks so much for the rec! 🫶🏼

Kelly, thank you!!! I’m so glad you’re feelin the bops AND TNTT. It’s been so much fun to put together and makes my day that you’re into it. ☺️
You always catch my little Easter eggs so you know I have to immediately blurt out “CRUEL INTENTIONS” while doing the Leo point at the TV.
Now that that’s out of the way…. Banger post as per usual!
Hahaha of course you are the one who can point this out!!!! Emily + Elin forever 💘
This is so amazing. I love it all, and feel it all. Great info, recs, and words. Per the usual, you get me!! ❤️🫶

This is my favorite city of substack post. I love your taste & personality!!!
That is the nicest compliment and I appreciate it/you so much!!! 💖🥹
Love this! And your brother in law is so right – my mum often says, if we do our job right as parents it's the future solved.
PS. Bought some uniqlo socks yesterday because you utterly influenced me <3
I LOVE how your mum puts it, too! So wise. And that makes my day that you went forward with the Uniqlo socks!!! Did you order or buy in person and which color(s) did you go with?? I grabbed red, pink, blue, and green hehe
I loved every piece of clothing you linked and your outfit pics. Will be re-creating 🫶🏻
YAY!!! Music to my ears 🫶🏼
