I love French Silk pie.  It’s one of my favorite things.  This French Silk Slab Pie from Cooking for Keeps is definitely worth saving.  I would add a layer of fluffy meringue or a scented whip cream, but even without it, it looks delicious.  Hopefully, we can serve it at backyard barbecues this summer.

    Great read and worth the time, Ultimate Gaslighting.

  2. Meghan says:

    That Gaslighting article… WHOA. Also, shines a light on some things I don’t love about my own habits, but so important. Thank you!

    I cracked up at discovering your partner’s ‘work persona.’
    My husband at the beginning of quarantine couldn’t believe my work style. I extremely laid back in my personal life, but at work I have about 50 people most in their early 20’s that work under me. He has never heard me having serious business conversations. Now he calls me a badass.

    The Gaslighting article is great food for thought…

  5. Anna c says:

    That Gaslighting article… Whew. Lots to think about there.

  6. Evelyn says:

    The article about gas lighting touched my soul. I have a lot of friends who make the comments about “when everything gets back to normal”. I have to tell them that no, we will not be going back to normal but that we will be moving forward to a different kind of normal. I always seem to get a stony silence from them.

    What was really disheartening for me was some of the contents in response to the article. I wonder if some of us are intent on history repeating itself. I know that I won’t let things keep repeating in my life.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
