How are all of your weekends shaping up? The preschool Bean is attending this fall is putting on a family meet & greet this weekend. You guys, I can’t believe this is happening. How is she so big all of a sudden? How does she have this little elfin face and where is my baby with the big rosy cheeks?
Also, unrelated, what a week to be raising a girl, huh. Have any of you out there with daughters felt it too? Bean’s been staring at the coverage wide-eyed and asking a thousand questions about why the presidential nominee is a girl like her. She also confessed that she didn’t want to be president, though, she wanted to be a pilot. And I got to tell her she could be whatever she wanted to be, and maybe for the first time since the founding of the US, that could very well be a true statement.
From around the web this week:
Speaking of the DNC, I love any and all coverage that dissects Bill Clinton’s wardrobe with the same focus and alacrity of political wives. The joke never gets old. (“Hillary Clinton’s husband wore a fetching pantsuit…”)
There’s a fundraiser planned tomorrow for the businesses damaged in the five-alarm Bernal Heights fire a few weeks ago.
Someone put together a map of San Francisco’s old transit routes and it is heartbreaking. There used to be a streetcar stop right on our corner!
Oh, God, have you seen the teaser trailer for the new Gilmore Girls??!!!!!
This skyscraper app is meant for little kids…but I have a feeling my kid would never get a chance to play with it between me and Dave.
So. Rosé Wine Gummy Bears. There’a s recipe for them. (How did I not know gummy bears molds existed?)
Also in divine: can I interest you in Parisian airport streetstyle?
Have a great weekend!
