Sunday Scroll #99

A scroll for slow summer: vintage phone vibes, a dresses edit, listening to your body, plus Delilah + Diet Coke

Hi, hello, Happy Sunday! How are you this morning? I’m nestled on the couch back in Pensacola, grateful to be back in more familiar surroundings. Going away for a while can be so fun—and so can coming back. We’re gearing up for the new school year (gulp!) but in the meantime, I’m trying to keep that slow, sweet, post-lake hum for as long as we possibly can.

Go grab something delicious to drink, and let’s scroll for a few.

1. When old-school vintage is cool for kids to try out. One mom gets a rotary phone for her kids to call their friends—and got an unexpected surprise. Love!

2. How NYT readers are saving money on groceries. My favorite tip: rotisserie chicken. I can get behind a rotisserie chicken! Just ask, oh, 57 percent of the Assembly Meal recipes in The Simplified Cookbook.

3. Field notes from perimenopause: on learning to listen to your body. One thing I’ll say about this stage of life: thank goodness we have the tools to know how to navigate a changing body with more compassion than we did as teens.

4. This is how the most remote community in America—at the bottom of the Grand Canyon—gets its mail. I legit had no idea there was (A) a town at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, (B) the postal system is older than the Declaration of Independence, and (C) some mail is delivered in 2025 by hooves.
