Have a Delicious Weekend. | Cup of Jo
What are you up to this weekend? We just dropped Anton off at sleepaway camp in Vermont āĀ his very first time! Iāve been thinking about him non-stop and hope heās having fun. Any tips from experienced parents for how to calm your own nerves? I never went growing up, so itās all new to me. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the webā¦
Iāve been wearing these perfect pants while traveling.
And these relaxed jeans on dates with a handsome gentleman;)

33 fun life tips. āWhenever youāre asked to guess a number (how much money someone saved, how many miles they ran, how long they needed to wait at the DMVā¦), be conservative. The person asking wants to surprise you.ā

Fashion designer Somsack Sikhounmuong always has lunch with his colleagues. āNo matter how busy it is in the office, we make it a point to eat together. The idea of sitting down, taking a moment, and busting out all the food is nice to meā¦ Itās the equivalent of the water cooler, but this is the lunch table.ā (NYMag)
What to do with all that zucchini.
Also, tomorrow Iām sending an Ask Me Anything issue of our newsletter Big Salad, including what it was like to sleep with someone for the first time after my divorce, eeps! Paywalled for obvious reasons, but itās just $6/month (plus, all the archives), if youāre in the mood for girl talk.
Plus, three reader comments:
Says Kristen on Erika Veurinkās week of outfits: āIām 5ā11, and in every photo throughout my teens and 20s, Iām hunching or crouching. Now that I have a tall daughter, Iāve decided to own my height. People comment on my height, and hers, all the time, and while I still resent that a stranger needs to make unsolicited remarks, Iāve learned to reply to āYouāre so tallā with a genuine āThank you so much!ā as if itās the highest compliment. I hope my daughter wonāt feel like she ever needs to take up less space in the world.ā
Says Brianna on what makes you thirsty: āRecently, my very stoic husband left me three missed calls on his way to work. I was busy wrangling our kids, but when I finally rang him back, worried there was some emergency, he told me to run to the garden because there was an amazing rainbow. We live in Ireland, where there are constant rainbows, and he generally couldnāt care less. But he knows I love spotting them and was frantic to make sure I didnāt miss a good one. After 15 years together, my naturally unobservant love now points out āLook!, isnāt that beautiful?ā while darting uncertain, hopeful glances at me.ā
Says Ally on whatās everyone reading / watching / listening to: āIām SO PSYCHED for the Olympics. Anthony Edwards on the menās basketball team is an absolute delight. Also cannot wait for Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, the whole womenās team. And Katie Ledecky and Quincy Wilson (track star, heās only 16). Gosh, I canāt wait.ā
