I recommend Amy Poehler’s new podcast “good hang”. In the episode with Rashida Jones they talk both how NECESSARY it is to dance. Which leads to my next recommendation: dance parties. Coming out of pandemic lockdown, I’d open my garage door & plug in my kids star light & invite anyone who needed it to a ‘Perimenopause Dance Party’. We pass the phone for song choice and scream out cathartic lyrics to throw back hits. 4 years in and it’s the best thing I do for my mental health. I say ‘ no rsvp if you byob’ so I never stress about hosting. Whoever wants to show up brings snacks and a drink or two and we all sweat out our worries

I LOVE this idea!!! Although, I've now whizzed right by perimenopause and am firmly in menopause, so I will rename my dance party to fit. 🤣

I was so bummed that work pulled me away from the live chat with Jenny! I missed the one with Erika, too, which was ALSO a major bummer, dude. Any way to watch these back later? Would love to hang, even retroactively!

Kaitlyn! You will do such a great job growing butternut squash. They don’t get the typical squash bugs which is a huge gift. You’ll want to have a trellis of some kind or something to organize the vines. They get long and tangled.

Maureen, I got my (teenaged) kids this for the holidays last winter and we love it! A very smooth, very effective bug catcher with a magnifier on it that we use to help relocate some of our bug friends back outdoors.

I've been eyeing that denim dress from Sezane for forever but am worried about the length! Jo, how tall are you / where does it hit? Riding a bike sounds promising!

Love this roundup!! So many things to get inspired! I've loved Sezanne for years and have a slight obsession with their cozy sweaters.
