Read Aloud: A Day in My Life: Hosting A Nancy Meyers Summer Party

I love any excuse to host a gathering. Even if it’s for three friends and a baby like yesterdays. Whenever the sun comes out I have the immediate and overwhelming urge to make my take on Nana's pasta salad. Pair that with the two recipes I stumbled upon on Instagram and it was settled. Queue up the perfect Nancy Meyers coastal grandmother Nantucket chic playlist and it's a party! Catch up with me and check out pics from my Saturday Soiree, dubbed Stars & Salads. 🇺🇸

And if I’m being honest, it’s not just the gap that’s bothering me — it’s how loud everything around that gap has become: Everyone else’s timelines. Everyone else’s milestones. Everyone else’s perfectly curated proof that they are, in fact, doing it right.

In this read aloud of today's blog post, I share some recent activities, spring musings, and a playful debate on Easter candy.
