As women, we must remind each other how deeply valuable we are, how truly worthy we are of love and care and protection and agency.
Warmly,

Whether you're in the garden, hosting brunch, or spending time with family, press play on this celebratory playlist — whatever the weekend holds, we're sending you love. 🌸
"On Mother’s Day, reading through greeting cards left me feeling bewildered — the cards included descriptions such as nurturing, giving, understanding, best friend, or sweet and comforting. None of these described my mother, so I often settled on buying a comical or blank card. I always wondered, 'Does anyone really have a mother who fits these Hallmark descriptions?'"
After years of diaper changes and feedings, there comes a time when your little dependent becomes more independent. During travel, kids’ luggage gives your mini me the opportunity to tote around their prized possessions — whether you’re visiting Grandma for an overnight stay down the street or across the country for a weeklong trip.
These whimsical popsicle stick fairy doors are the perfect weekend craft to add a little magic to your neighborhood. Put them together and then tuck them into trees along the block to make someone's day!
💛 Weekend reminder: "Isn’t that our work — especially as women? To stay in trust and hopeful expectation, to release control, to surrender to goodness and receive it."
💼 For job seekers: Every Mother Counts wants to change maternity care for the better, and they're looking for a new Executive Assistant (NYC).
📝 A good question: How are you arriving into this holiday weekend? Can you take a few moments to be with yourself as you are right now?
"My friend recently started a sci-fi book club, and our first read was Kindred by Octavia Butler. A young California woman in 1976 gets abruptly time-travelled to an 1815 slave plantation where her ancestors once lived. Through the book, she hops timelines again and again, each time uncovering more about her family history and experiencing what life was like for her ancestors. It's haunting, but hard to put down — and I'm excited to read more of Butler's work. I will note, it's a heavy read with some trigger warnings so be sure to read the summary first." [Give it a read]
What one reader is looking forward to:
"After living with bins in my apartment for over a year I am on the home stretch of getting all my books into bookcases, my art hung, and the bins either given away of out of sight. What a change! It feels like I am finally home!" - AS
