Hey friends!

Question for you all: HOW IS IT JUNE?

We had such a long winter in Montreal with moments of snow even in May, so it's kind of hard to believe. But the splash pads are on and the ice coffee is a brewin'. And it's glorious! If you've spent most of your free time this week frolicking outside, I don't blame you. I'll save you some time and share my favourite links with you. Enjoy!

• Remember my recent post on gentrification in St-Henri? Looks like things are getting dangerous...
• Where was this top all those summers I spent pregnant?
• Speaking of pregnancy, my post on How To pack The Perfect Hospital Bag is up on Well!
• Some reflection Qs in the aftermath of the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla death.
• Bathroom dreams!

• These sandals are so nice. They would be a really cute and original alternative to the typical birks that everyone has, as far as durable, comfortable summer shoes go.
• My kids are old enough to pick up after themselves. That doesn't mean they always do. This simple question might make things a lot easier (and tidier!)
• Best baby shower gift!
• Now that it's so hot out, I can't bare to turn on my oven, so it's been BBQed something practically every night. I made this chicken gyro salad the other night for game 2 of the Stanley Cup (Penguins!) and it was so yummy! And a fun meal to eat while watching the game.

• These look like the perfect summer dessert!
• My book club decided to read this book and I'm really excited to start! The book and the club (more on that later).
• If you're looking for a great lobster roll in Montreal, look no further!
• Not that we're going, but it was fun to take a peek at this Guide to Your Summer in the Hamptons article.

Have a great week!
