How to Do Anything

1 week ago | cupofjo.com | Joanna Goddard

What are you up to this month? We’re be visiting family for the next two weeks. In order to fully soak it all up (fresh air, long walks, jet lag, sibling squabbles, the whole shebang), we’ll be pausing the site, and we’ll be back on July 7th with a bunch of new posts. We will be sending our Big Salad newsletter during the next two weeks, so feel free to sign up here, if you’d like. And thank you, as always, for being here.
Have a Lovely Weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? We’re doing the link list a day early because the boys and I are heading to Cornwall tonight to visit my aunts, dad, brother, cousins, and cousins’ kids, and to eat our weight in Cornish pasties. Hope you have a good one, and here are some links from around the web…Happy Juneteenth! Here are nine places to celebrate today. (NYTimes gift link)Very cool vacation pants.
Three Recipes With Fresh Summer Corn

1 week ago | cupofjo.com | Greta Caruso |Fanny Singer

Greta Caruso and Fanny Singer are longtime friends who happened to have their first kids within a month of each other in 2022. Since they’d both spent years cooking and writing recipes professionally, they figured that feeding their children would be easy enough.

What are you wearing these days? Now that the weather’s warming up, it feels so good to pull on breezy, lightweight clothes. This week, J.Crew is having their Big Summer Event, where you can shop up to 50% off almost everything. Here are our picks, including the sweet pointelle cardigan and tank, above…A classic summer outfit: striped shirt and white shorts. Plus, a barn jacket you can wear year round — what a gorgeous blue.
A Very Low-Key Summer Checklist

1 week ago | cupofjo.com | Joanna Goddard

What’s on your summer checklist? Here are 10 low-key things I’m thinking of doing (and I’d love to hear yours)…1. Lean into drinks o’clock. When visiting our relatives in England, we always gather for ‘drinks o’clock’ at 6 p.m. with friends, neighbors, and anyone else walking by. Back in Brooklyn, my kids and I often head to our stoop at that time, as a way to transition from workday to chill summer evening. These days, we like sipping Sprite and lingonberry, but even sparkling water does the trick.
Have a Good Weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? We’re hosting Anton’s birthday party at a pool, and I can’t wait for cannonballs and Marco Polo. And thank you for the wonderful comments on this post — this community makes me feel hopeful. If you’re protesting this weekend, stay safe and know your rights.
Five Pick-Me-Ups

2 weeks ago | cupofjo.com | Joanna Goddard

Do you have clothes you’ve worn a million times? Mine include this shirt and these flats. So easy and comfy. (Here’s a steal version of the shoes.)Last weekend, Freddie and I went to see the Amy Sherald exhibit at The Whitney Museum. She paints portraits of Black Americans, both as a way to show people just being themselves and also to correct the omission of Black people in classic American portraiture.

We know readers often come to Cup of Jo for a pick-me-up. But we are following what’s happening in L.A., and spreading across the country — and we imagine you may be, too — and it feels important to talk about. Here’s what’s going on and how to help…What’s happening in L.A. right now? Since Friday, crowds in L.A. have been protesting the Trump administration’s new large-scale raids of workplaces, like Home Depot, where federal agents search for undocumented people.
Seaweed Artwork | Cup of Jo

2 weeks ago | cupofjo.com | Joanna Goddard

Where do you find affordable art? One piece we love in our home is this hand-pressed seaweed print from Cornwall, England, where my aunt lives. Two friends — Melanie Molesworth and Julia Bird — make their artwork by foraging for seaweed on beaches or in shallow water after a storm. “We love it when they’re faded and a bit sea-bashed sometimes,” Julia told Toast. “Some of the beautiful pale pink colors are very faded as they’ve been drifting about in the sea.
What Are Your Dad's Rules for Life?

2 weeks ago | cupofjo.com | Joanna Goddard

Every dad seems to have strong thoughts on things like cars, travel, and the thermostat. Mine is no exception. So, in honor of Father’s Day, I called my dad and interviewed him about his rules for life… TravelTravel somewhere new. When you go to a familiar place, time runs at the same pace as it does at home. But when you don’t know what’s around each corner, time gets hugely extended. A day becomes a week, and a week becomes a month. Experiencing something new is very restorative.
