Hi, sweet friends. This Sunday Sweet Edit our community is still reeling from the events at the Highland Park 4th of July parade. If you want to get involved in fighting for gun reform, please head to Moms Demand Action and sign up for your local chapter. If you’re local, we have a meeting Monday evening. I’ll be there and I hope to see you there, too. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this post or send me a DM on Instagram. Now is the time to fight, mama bears…

on the podcasts…

We live just a few miles from Highland Park, and I opened up about what it feels like when a mass shooting happens in your community. Also, I discuss the power of moms who are pissed off, well-resourced and connected.

The One With OJ Simpson and Dead Duck Day Brand New Information

Today Jay and Suzanne commemorate two infamous 1990s events – OJ Simpson’s Ford Bronco slow speed police chase and… Dead Duck Day? Plus, on this week’s Fibronostalgia – Did you know you could break a Hypercolor shirt? Jay and Suzanne know, because they did! And Suzanne’s fibronostalgia breaks the fourth wall to examine the meaning that nostalgia has in our lives. Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram!

Perimenopause 101 with Monica Leonard, LPN The Sober Mom Life

It feels like talk about perimenopause is everywhere these days, but I have so many questions. What is perimenopause, actually? How does it differ from menopause? Is hormone replacement therapy safe and effective? How do we find a doctor who will actually help us with our perimenopausal symptoms and not just tell us it’s ‘normal’ to feel this way? Is there any way for us to feel well in midlife?! See, it’s a lot of questions! Monica Leonard of This Is My Midlife is here to help us understand it all. She’ll talk us through the symptoms of perimenopause, the treatments available, how to advocate for yourself in the medical system, and how lifestyle elements like alcohol are making perimenopause even more complicated. Learn more about Monica’s coaching and retreats at www.thisismymidlife.com, or follow her on Instagram @thisismymidlifePre-order your copy of The Sober Shift in paperback!Community makes all the difference.

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Haul

NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE | WHAT I BOUGHT

In case you missed it, I shared my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul so far! And yes, that means a few more pieces are coming and I’ll be sure to share those when they arrive. Overall, I’m impressed with this year’s sale. I like it better than last year’s selections, especially the dresses and activewear. I’ll be sharing my activewear favorites in a post tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Amazon Prime Day is just two days away! I’ll be sharing the best deals in a blog post on Tuesday and I’ll also have more deals in my Amazon storefront. Stay tuned!!
