What’s on your summer checklist? Here are 10 low-key things I think to do (and I love to listen to you) …
1. Strive to drinks. When visiting our relatives in EnglandWe always gather for ‘drinks at 6 o’clock in friends, neighbors, and anyone walking. Back to Brooklyn, my kids and I’ll always go to we bow to that time, as a way to move from work day to cool the summer night. Current days, we want sprite piercing and LingherryBut even the grudge of water is the trick.
2. Lie on the couch and read magazines in the fan of. Especially New Yorker’s Contentsto laugh, move, and ckooooooky.
3. Playing outdoor cards. Our beloved coj trodtorutor Alex Ronan Playing at the game card outside and degradation of his infinity times with his girlfriend, he told me. “I can’t express how many rounds we play trips, in bars, or on Sunday morning coffee, but I never get tired. It’s the perfect game of two.” Tonight Freddie And I’m actually meeting Alex and Grace to find out the game – we’ll report back.
4. Take photos of your friends with their children. On top is my friend Claire with her daughter in the Toby baseball game. Mothers in picturesalways and forever 🙂
5. Watch a ’90s movie. We love watching ’90s films on trips. They are beautiful and familiar with so you can chat and eat snacks while watching. Some to get started: Talents Mr. Ripley, Clueless, Fargo, Boyz N The Hood, Strong, Pug aheadfellas.
6. Eat potato chips from a mug. This is a better idea of my brother, so people around you don’t steal your chips. If not the flowing hands come from all directions.
7. Write an acrostic poem for a lover. Okay, it can be random, but hear me, haha. My friend Liz once wrote the akrosika For us when we went for dinner, and I didn’t forget how beautiful it was. Such a simple and personal disobedience. I wrote one of this year for Freddie’s birthday, and it was also pleased to include withdrawal jokes and nicknames. They don’t deserve to be perfect, full heartfelt 🙂
8. See some artistic articlesIf you feel moved, like Amy sherald in whitney (DC coming in September) or at Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Colors are good.
9. Treat yourself to some soft servinglike vanilla-chocolate twist.
10. Stay inside and don’t feel bad about it. As a person who is concerned that doesn’t always turn off his brain, it’s my love. My friend Sharon Used the term “Capt-up days,” where everyone in the family needs a break, so you stay inside and do nothing. Maybe eat a bowl of cereal? Get a cold shower and see how many seconds are your last? Don’t do anything productive because that is against the rules.
