It’s funny. I write all of the time, guys (like, all the time), and for some reason, this week, I’m stumped on what to share with you here! Have you ever felt really busy but can’t recount what you’ve been doing? That’s the kind of week it’s been, so I’m actually thankful that I can take a pause here to remember some of the things that caught my eye this week.

This cartoon explaining the invisible (but heavy) mental load of motherhood was an instant classic when it first published. I dug up the link to share it with a friend this week.
I want to start asking my kids these four questions before they go to bed. Have you done something similar?
My four year old keeps asking how babies get in mommies’ tummies, and I’ve managed to feed her just enough information to satisfy her for the moment. The real conversation is coming, so I re-read this article to help prepare me.
Tortonis. I haven’t seen this delectable dessert on any restaurant menu I’ve encountered in my 35 years. I only know about it because my mom made it for guests exactly two times when I was growing up, but it was so delicious that I still remember it. I don’t know why I haven’t made it myself, but I’m going to try this recipe out for my parents’ next visit.
