A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Tracking Every Last Home-Design Trend
If you have a case of the Mondays, maybe this week’s podcast episode will brighten things up? We’re talking Kacey Musgraves merch and colorful home stuff because we’ll take our cheeriness anywhere we can get it, thanks.

Singing my praises of this field guide to any NYC birding newbies. It delivers with that predictably charming cover, too.
Making mediocre peaches exceptional like THAT.
Asking the room: Is MDF the trendy, post-plywood interior-design material?
Telling Kourtney and Kylie to scooch. The Ogwumike women—basketball phenoms and all-around badasses—are the sisters we need. This! And this!
Seconding the assertion that Old Navy makes a darn good mask.

Acquiring a tiny WFH desk (for my, um, colleague) that I’m already mentally repurposing as an entryway console once offices are a thing again.
Listening to Cautious Clay on repeat after repeat. Tune in if you like Khalid, Frank Ocean, etc.; start with "Smoke", "Cold War."
Drinking up a story that involves Back to the Future II, food poisoning, the rise of running in Indonesia, and a wildly successful Japanese sports drink (slash hangover cure) that mimics sweat. Yum.
Lacking motivation to figure out my own meals, much less my son’s. Enter Yumi, which is a real delight to lean on in moments when I just can’t.
