the stoop drinks story might be my favorite thing in any edit so far- 25 neighbors showing up, kids running around, sun going down, everyone just... being together with no agenda and no rsvp. i throw dinner parties constantly and i'm always thinking about what the simplest version of gathering looks like, and this is it. also the hanna andersson x lisa says gah collab is going straight into my cart for my daughter. the twirl factor is everything at age two.
Just wanted to share in case anyone wanted to try: pickled red onions are extremely easy to make yourself! I swear by this Bon Appetit recipe. Takes 5 minutes. I know there isn't always time so storebought is exciting news so please know this comment doesn't come from a place of judginess! https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/quick-pickled-onions
Jannelle - my mum kept ALL our kid clothes (which is a bit crazy, especially the not particularly nice onesies which lost all their elastic in the 30 years between me wearing them for thr first time, my three sisters then wearing them, and my daughter finally wearing them). But all our smocked dresses and pretty sweaters and Osh Kosh dungarees - we all love seeing them on our own kids, at different ages. So definitely keep the things you love!
Omg !! My mother-in-law did the same with what feels like all(?) my husband’s old clothes, and I LOVE seeing my kids in them. So yes, I definitely plan on stowing some of my favorite kids clothes for future grandkids (sobbb). X
Jannelle - my mom just pulled out a kid's cardigan that I wore in my kindergarten school photos for my son. I could barely make out the faded tag, but it was Hanna! Not crazy to keep!

Thank you for the pickled red onion news!!
I have a tip for the A week in outfits column: https://www.instagram.com/sophiejo.c.44/ - she's my new favorite to follow.
Re the dress: but does it have *pockets*? My dress love affairs begin and end with that question. One reason it's great to sew one's own!
Gah, NO POCKETS. Its the only annoying thing about the dress. ;)

Same! I’m glad I’m not the only one.
