Omg Janelle being a pregnancy goddess!

Definition of glowing!

Seriously! Would love a post on Janelle’s decision (if it was one) to have a 3rd! Just had my second baby and not sure if we will have a 3rd but open to the possibility.

I see your Quaker Oats guy and Lord Farquaad and raise you one "Berries and Cream" lad (from the creepy Starbursts commercial years ago). At least that's what my husband said I looked like when I came home with the same curled under bob haircut. The trauma bangs I impulsively got did not help the matter.

Speaking of iconic men’s hairstyles, Evany Thomas once likened her bangs to Hermey’s (the little elf who wants to be a dentist) in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Now he always comes to mind when my cowlicked bangs get too long!

Wait, did we just get a pregnancy announcement, or did I miss it before? Congratulations Janelle!!

Kristin, those curls are magnificent! I've contemplated perms before but I've been too chicken to go through with it :)

Just ordered The Summer Book! Excited to dive in just in time for summer to sing her swan song.

I bought The Summer Book for some ridiculous price from a surplus table in the basement of Harvard Book

Store and put it aside a year ago. Thank you CoJ for a reminder to slowly finish this little book as the summer wanes. I always suspected it was a gem I had never heard of despite being a fan of Tove Jansson’s curious imagination—glad to see this inkling affirmed here.

Hello, if I'm a monthly subscriber, how can I take part in the annual subscription deal? I would love to change my subscription to annually, but I cannot seem to know how...

Kaitlyn Teer's avatar

Hi! Yes, the Substack team says that, if you'd like, you can cancel your monthly subscription and re-subscribe using the discount link. Hope this helps! xo

Hi, I just tried cancelling the monthly subscription. When I go to renew at the annual subscription rate, I don’t see the discount applied. Anything else I can try?

Kaitlyn Teer's avatar

Renachi, hi! Are you able to access the discount when you use the discount link:

Please let me know! You can also email me at newsletter@cupofjo.com, if you'd like. Happy to help! xo

Thanks! Still having trouble. Sent you an email.

Kaitlyn Teer's avatar

Great! Would love to connect you to the Substack support team...in the meantime, you might double check that you chose to "cancel immediately"? We'll get this sorted!

Mariana's avatar

thank you! the key was to cancel but then click on cancel immediately.... now i'm all set :)

Hi there! I'm trying to gift a subscription. Does the discount still apply? It's listed at the non-discounted rate currently. TY!

Kaitlyn Teer's avatar

Hi! Yes, if you use the discount link you should be able to select the gift option, which is the third of the three options. Here's the direct link to a discounted gift sub, if you'd like: https://joannagoddard.substack.com/subscribe?coupon=6b862fb0&gift=true

Amazing, thanks so much!

I didn't realize I'd reprogrammed my husband, CLOCKWORK ORANGE-style, by showing him a million secondhand Comme des Garçons pieces last night until I asked him what he thought of Kate Baer's suit on the Kohl's site this morning and he said, ever so tentatively, "Is it a bathing suit?"

LOVE Kristin’s perm!
