Every week, we have Sundae Sundays. After dinner, we bring out a pint or two of ice cream, all the toppings we have (sprinkles + chocolate chips), and it feels fun + festive–a real treat for all of us. But the piece of this puzzle that makes it feel extra special is the waffle cone. We usually don’t have ice cream cones at home because it seems almost equal to the ice cream shop experience. (And we have three beloved top rated ones all within walking distance of home.) The waffle cones really make our Sunday Sundaes feel like a party. Amazing how one little thing can make such a big difference. I’ll take all the little mood lifters, please!

My friend Julie directed the documentary It Started as a Joke, about the decade-long run of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival. The film is a great reminder of the healing power of comedy, even in life’s most challenging circumstances. It’s heartwarming + heart aching + very human. For $4.99, you can watch and support their work.

I love following artists on Instagram to see all the inspiring ways they’re using their time right now. Jon Burgerman is making these sweet funny photo montages making his little playdough figures look larger than life and with real human feelings that are heavy and light at the same time. He’s also selling sweet little character paintings that make me smile.
