Between Us...

..moving away from Drugs

When I was trying to get pregnant, I was popping and shooting estrogen, metformin, and progesterone daily. I bitched to my friend Anna about all the meds, and she said, “Well, Mama loves drugs.” And we sort of laughed about it, and then I used Mama Loves Drugs for my brief and now defunct fertility blog.

I will always be a proponent for substances: legal (who can live without Zofran?), the other kind (only with people you trust and under the age of 30), and especially fertility medicines, but at 43, I’ve moved out of the wink-wink reference age.

You may have noticed that the things I love most are sales, travel, and kid stuff… and a quip about doing lines doesn’t land well in the current mix.

It’s not exactly a rebrand (there’s no brand), it’s …a rename.

Between Us covers everything that I find interesting and like to share. Some of it has value (travel hacks and destinations), some of it doesn’t (the Markles).

Either way, here’s what I’m excited about currently…

Notes on Being A Man… my gf Catie sent Scott Galloway’s Goop podcast a few weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. If you have a son, I highly recommend it. I bought his book (linked above) immediately after.

Crochet season. Crochet is year-round, right? It’s just more comfortable in the summer. As we type, I’m wearing a Zara crochet number… similar here. And you can do top and bottom when it’s warm out. Look at this perfection.

I accidentally left my Diptique body lotion at the beach last weekend, but look! Found it here for less and on a subscription, no less. Use liberally in place of perfume. You’re welcome.

Y’all know I start seizing whenever there’s a lot of color or a print, but look at this mini. Brown, gold, and white equal neutral. PS. Also check the sale section on Boteh’s site, esp if you’re a color girl.

Summer plans. Last week, Archie and I were in the car for a 5-hour road trip that ended up being 7. He was such a trooper. I told him that if we were in a plane for 7 hours, we’d land in Europe (more or less). I asked where he would want to go, and he said, “Maybe Switzerland? Because I know Zachary really wants to go there.” So his Dad and I will do a scouting trip this summer here. Send any and all suggestions.

Oh… and a little Sunday reading….

This article about AF’s new First Class cabin that seats only 3 (?) Did I read that right? I want to know all about it, but also for 16k it’s a big belly laugh.

Here we go with Harry. Can’t get one damn thing right.

Another wayward son.

Ommmmggg, we just got back from Taos and can’t wait to go back. I’ll hit up Zachary’s godmother for a more complete overview, but this is a start.

Coming down the pike:

• Best places to travel with kids

• Good denim

• Elective procedures

• Summer reading

• Easy summer clothes

• Sanity with your kiddos in the summer

Let me know if there’s anything you’d like my non-expert thoughts on….
