This interview resonated so much with me! One of my bestest friends got married, moved to the suburbs and had a baby all while I was still navigating a few things alone in the city. She makes such an effort to include me in her little family, I’m the godmother to her daughter and she expresses endlessly how much she appreciates our friendship. I remember when she said she had a mommy group and I too felt jealous! They had something to bond over that I couldn’t do with her, but that doesn’t negate anything we have together and I fill gaps in her life in other ways. Thanks for sharing!
Nice change, love the new look:)! -- As for activities. I would love to take tennis lessons this summer, obvi influenced by 'the Challengers.' Another one I'm looking forward is taking my job's summer Fridays seriously (everyone stops working by 1pm) to do something fun each week. Some things that come to mind: coffeeshop people watching, pool time by myself, you name it!
That’s amazing you have summer Fridays every week! I’ve spent so much time during my month of “funemployment” at coffee shops people watching & eating chocolate croissants. It’s the best…
I never picked up a racket before I started taking lessons a year ago. My local parks and rec department has a really robust sports program, and I take inexpensive, small group lessons weekly. I would recommend checking that out if you want to get started
Wow I loved that conversation. My best friend does not have kids (and isn't sure if she wants them) and she loves on my baby so so well and I try to encourage their relationship the best that I can. I love that my baby has so many "aunties."
Nashville resident here! BNA used to be the best for door to gate in 25 minutes or less but with all the construction and traffic it is much more of a crapshoot. I had second hand anxiety watching her sweat that out.
As far as summer activities I’ve really dedicated myself to upping my golf game this year. I started taking lessons at the end of last year but have seen great progress from playing 2-3 times a week along with the lessons. My tip - only play 9! It’s the perfect amount and you don’t feel the slog of having to dedicate 4+ hours to each round.

I love that you have an explicit role in her daughter's life as godmother. And so happy to hear it resonated 🧡
Sounds like an amazing friendship and bond 🥹 love that you shared this!

This sounds so fun!
Great insight! Hadn't thought about it.
I may steal that picnic idea for my partner and me!
Really appreciate this perspective on a child-free/parents friendship 🤍
Please steal! Would love nothing more than to become a picnicking influencer!
Love the new logo!!!!!! fun!!!!!!
Thank yaaaa!
Love the new logo -- and immediately added that Uniqlo bag to my cart! -MF
*That* is a stamp of approval.
New colors looking CUTE
💛💛
BIG fan of Rakuten!
You are clearly not alone!!

Also!! Congrats on the new design! Looks so good.
Thank you so so much, Allie! And I love that this conversation resonated 🥹
I also love Rakuten!
Also, that TikTok of the woman who's late the airport gave me the worst anxiety! If I'm not there 2 hours before my flight, I feel late!
Oh, and $300 sandals are insane! I love spending $$ on shoes, but sandals are the big exception! I think the dupes you found are way cuter!
Oof, right? Thank youuu! 💛
I love the redesign, so so good!
I have made a lil money on Rakuten over the years. legit!
Thank you, Kristen! 💛
Loving the new logo!🧡👏🏻👏🏻🫶
Love the new logo! Aliza, I’ve been needing new cocktail glasses so excited to check your recs out!
Ah, yes! Send pics if you get them — I know they were running a sale, so hopefully that’s still on!
And my girlfriends and I just committed to beginner tennis lessons now that it’s warm. I’m sure it’ll be hilarious and fun!!
I love any two-for-one activity — socializing + exercise is so smart
love the new banner and graphics - so GROOVY!!
Groovy is EXACTLY what we were going for. Thanks, Amelia! 🧡
Ah thanks!!!

Door to gate in 25 minutes is WILD. 🤯
LOVE the new branding! (And lowkey gloating that my favorite of pink & orange was picked, tehe)
The votes 100000% influenced us 🥰
Love the new logo! I'm also slowly making my way through the Steve Martin documentaries and learning SO MUCH.
And thank you, Kuleigh! 🩷
so. much.
