This weekend, my husband and a bunch of friends are going to Avila Beach for a guys’ weekend. Not to be outdone, my girlfriends and I are going to have a good old-fashioned sleepover WITH ALL NINE of our kids. What we lose in sleep, we’ll make up for in memories. Wish us luck!
Here’s what caught my eye this week:
Kate Spade
Mental illness does not discriminate, and Kate Spade’s suicide reminds us of that. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-272-8255, and here are tips for helping someone else.

Greek Burger Recipe
I’ve been using the grill nonstop lately to prepare easy, healthy dinners (because my husband is the one who actually does the grilling!). This recipe for Greek-style lamb burgers is a definite repeat.
Pasta Salad Recipe
This is one of those recipes that I used to make all the time and then sort of forgot about. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the burgers.
In case you missed it, here are the week’s posts from San Francisco Moms Blog and Mid-Peninsula Moms Blog.
