– Check out Judy Clement Wall’s “Visual Guide For Handling Toxic People.”
– As a budding advice columnist, I love Steve Almond and Cheryl Strayed’s Dear Sugar Radio podcast. I’ve listened to them all, but the latest one has been my favorite so far because it covers a topic I’ve covered often and love to dissect. “When Friendships End.”
– This post about a woman who made cards for cancer patients like she would have loved from family and friends was by far the most shared thing on my Facebook page. Like by the thousands.
– My May column for Tcjewfolk was about mahjongg and I think it’s had the most action of any post I’ve written there. People love mahj!

That cookie recipe looks divine. I will have to stray from my beloved Ghirardelli recipe to try it. 🙂 And the Visual Guide is awesome…

Maybe short — but packed! So many things I need to check out. I did hear the Dear Sugar Radio podcast about friendships…so good. And the cookies look amazing, as does the crispy broccoli. Yum.

Going to try that broccoli!

Lots of goodies here! Crispy broccoli? Definitely checking that out.
Intrigued by the ClassPass topic. I guess my take on it is that each studio will have more people attending their classes because of the price point and convenience. I can tell you that I can’t afford to join a yoga, barre, and regular gym. ClassPass allowed me to experience these studios then, because I loved the workout/studio, I’ve referred others. I would think that studios are getting more exposure and seeing more people walk in their doors that normally wouldn’t. I get that they aren’t getting the full price from ClassPass members but isn’t some money better than none.
LOVE Dear Sugar! Great, great stuff every time.

I just finished listening to the Dear Sugar podcast about friendships this morning. Of course I thought of you! I was going to forward you the link, but I figured you’d already had it on your queue. Looking forward to your next installment of the advice column.
I printed out the Smitten Kitchen chocolate chip cookie recipe. Then I thought I really didn’t need another cookie recipe. Clearly, I do!
Happy Mother’s Day, Nina!

Pinned the broccoli recipe, resisted the cookie recipe (but I know where to find it), and cried at the You Tube video.
Thanks for all the great finds, Nina!

I thought of you when listening to that Dear Sugar episode, so I’m glad you heard it.
Also, we have had lots of folks in our house this week in getting it ready to sell, and I was just thinking I should cook something other than banana bread this time. Cookies! [though my realtor says no baking for the actual showings, or people will think you’re using the smell to cover something up. A bunch of skeptics, these home buyers].

I look forward to these too! BOTH the broccoli and those chocolate chip cookies have been on my list so I am going to make them ASAP. Like, today. xox
Smitten Kitchen is one of the few big blogs I follow in Bloglovin. I generally keep my feed to blogging friends only, but I love to see what she will do next!
They’re both on my list.
That Mother’s Day video is quite sweet!

I loved those cards, too. Really, really loved them. My tummy is rumbling at the thought of those recipes. I must try them! And, can you believe that I have never played mahjong in real life? Just on the computer, like solitaire, which I guess really doesn’t count at all.
How did I not know about Dear Sugar!? This is why I check in here. 🙂
I love these -always.
And that made me cry, too!
(Pinning the recipe now.)
I absolutely love that line of cards. I saw them last week a few places in the blogosphere. They are brilliant.
I must at least try the Salted Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Wow, those sound amazing.
