Love this slice of life - from pink hot water bottles at cold sea swims to managing teenage hair crises. Sometimes, we idealize the other side, but really, there's beauty in both the chaos and the calm. Hope you have a good week ahead :)

Your breakfast table conversation about existential crises and 'over-bulging plates' really hit home. It seems like we're all constantly juggling, trying to maintain some semblance of control, only to realize how much is truly out of our hands. It's a humbling and sometimes terrifying realization, but perhaps there's freedom in accepting that chaos is a part of life.

Thanks for sharing my article, JFT! I really appreciate it!

Hey! We share hairstyles and also the color pink! I adopted it a bit here and there as a bit of rebellion at first. Now I pick it in accent colors because I like it.

I’m sitting with my coffee minding my own business reading about the color pink and I revive a text on my phone interrupting my reads…it says “I hear you laughing up there and it is marvelous”. It’s my hubs…who. Btw, loves the color pink and wishes I would wear it more.

JFT, your Sunday posts have me laughing out loud and smiling and thinking and feeling all squishy inside, every single week! I love my Sunday mornings at the beach with you!

And yet again, I got JFT’d. Even as it happens somewhat consistently, every single time I get a whoosh of happies when it happens.

Mozzarella yes, jalapeno no - how about sausage and mushroom? or even better, anchovies? (my husband would be a strong NO for that last one, lol) But yeah, we need both people-time and alone-time to stay sane. Regarding pink, my all-time least favorite color (the hatred runs really deep) - you have my condolences. I'll take blue or maybe indigo, thanks... (*runs and hides to escape Valentine's advertising in all pink-red-white* *shivers in disgust*)

Yep sausage and mushroom sounds good. Although I'm one of THOSE people who likes pineapple on pizza! Happy Feb 14th when it comes 🙂

You are forgiven :-) Pineapple has its place as long as it's compatible with the ham. ;-)
