Why I Had to Kill Family Dinner I'm a big fan of family dinner myself, but this author makes a compelling case for nixing it if it's making you miserable. She writes, "I made dinner for my family because I wanted to and because the world told me I had to, and then three years ago, I just stopped. I didn't want to anymore, and I'm here to tell you that you can stop, too. Your family will remain connected and whole; your kids will still grow up to be well-adjusted humans. And you might even enjoy one another a little more."
How to Have an Analog Fall People are having serious nostalgia for the time before technology, and I'm here for all of it, including a notebook in my purse and good, old-fashioned print magazines.
Watch: "Victoria Beckham" on Netflix. She's much more likable than she's portrayed in the media.
Read: Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess. Couldn't put this down or get it out of my head.*
Wear:Democracy jeans. As my weight goes up and down (and up again) in midlife, these are the only jeans I wear. The wide hidden elastic waist is gold. I have a few styles, including the high-rise straight and the itty-bitty bootcut. If you want to try them and get $20 off, hit REPLY and I'll send you a coupon code.*
Consider: Working at the polls. I know I've plugged this before, but it's such a great way to participate in our democracy and learn about the voting process. And you get paid! (Okay, not very much, but still.) They're signing up find poll workers for next Tuesday's election here in Columbus, but if you've missed the cut-off where you are, consider signing up next year.
