Click. Read. Love. 6.12.21

Sorry weekend reading is a day late this week! It’s been a busy one with multiple projects going and hopefully the launch of something new in the coming days. I’m also getting started on my new and improved Newport Guide launching this fall that I’m so excited about. It’s a rainy day here, signing off to entertain a very energetic toddler. Wish me luck.

If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…

Click. Read. Love. 6.12.21

The world has already declared this book a must-read and it’s been on my list forever, but I’m currently reading Circe by Madeline Miller and I’m loving it. (C)

Grief seems to be everywhere as we’re moving forward past the isolation of Covid—this love story of fifty years is truly both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

So apparently these billionaires pay little to no federal income tax (*screams into the void).

I can’t remember if I’ve shared this in CRL but this hair mask by Playa is a game changer. My hair is SO incredibly soft and shiny after I use it. It doesn’t weigh my hair down at all. I use it once a week. (J)

Have any of you seen the documentary P!nk: All I Know So Far? I watched it last weekend and I absolutely loved it. Craid did too. I didn’t know it until now but I’m a huge fan. She’s incredible and it was so cool to see how she balances her family and life on tour. (J)

The healing power behind gratitude and a hand-written thank you note.

In honor of strawberry season, and interesting article on how Driscoll’s reinvented the strawberry.

A last minute Father’s Day gift, get $50 off the OurPlace pan and chef’s knife when you buy them together with code TWOFAVES. This bundle is great too.

These thoughtful tips to living a fulfilled life were really lovely.

The ethics of asking a co-worker if they’ve had the Covid vaccine.

How wonderful is this resource?

Parents magazine recently launched a new web section that’s a guide to supporting LGBTQIA+ kids!

I got these Tevas for Marin and they are the perfect toddler summer shoe!

I made this grilled vegetable and burrata sandwich with a lemon thyme honey mustard dressing and it was everything a meatless dinner should be—fully of flavor and oh-so tasty. Plus it’s really adaptable. Swap different veggies in, there was no burrata so we went with fresh mozzarella instead. It was all good and so easy and satisfying. (C)

Have you heard of this baby bond program in Connecticut?

This is an old article but someone posted about this ball in the box analogy this week and the way it describes grief is so spot on, it’s definitely worth checking out.

Another great Father’s Day gift idea, these very affordable polarized sunglasses and this CamelBak. Craig uses it all the time for mountain biking and dirt biking.
