Date Night Challenges
There are a bunch of fun date night challenges going around the Internet and I'd love to plan one for our upcoming anniversary. I'd like it to be inexpensive but fun, and the funnier or more creative, the better!
The Best Summer Sides
One of the best things about summer is the food, and I am all here for the kebabs, burgers and definitely fruit. I could eat watermelon and strawberries all day long. But what about summer sides? They don't seem to get as much love, even if there are plenty of them to love.

Picnicking In Seattle
It's the time of year when so many people love to go picnicking. Summer is a good time to keep a quilt in your car just in case the mood moves you to enjoy some times with friends or loved ones on the grass, and you can even distance with multiple blankets for a safe activity!
Jelly Belly Drink Enhancers
As someone who avoids sugary drinks yet always craves them, I'm on the lookout for a good substitute all of the time. Lemonade is one of the drinks I've never been able to find in a lower-sugar version that perfectly matches my craving... until now! Jelly Belly makes drink enhancers and their lemonade, which doesn't have any sugar, is exactly what I was looking for.
Medical Urban Legends
Although I'm a lover of urban legends, I'm not a lover of anti-vaccine rhetoric that puts us all in jeopardy. So let's skip those "theories." Instead, let's share some of the oddest medical legends that we've ever heard of.

Really Strange Animal Facts
While we often focus on generally weird animals here at Weird Animal Report, we can't ignore the animals we all know about that still do some pretty odd things, especially for animals. For example, the fact that giraffes can hum is delightful to me. I love the idea of them going about their day just humming along. It feels like we have more in common when we learn facts like that.
The Funniest Gardening Advice
Today I ran across a really funny video about gardening on TikTok and knew I had to share it. Frankie Flowers says that while reading old books about gardening, he's come across some really funny tips. One is to sit on the ground with no pants or underwear on to see if it's too cold for seeds!
Summer Poetry
Poetry lovers, I must confess that I'm no lover of summer months. For a variety of reasons, I will even count down to the first day of September as I eagerly await the fall, and summer isn't even officially here yet! Still, there are plenty of things that are beautiful about the summer, and lots of poems to celebrate those aspects of the season.
Why Do Dems Keep Playing Nice?
While there are a few instances of Republicans giving support to bipartisanship over the last decade, most of them have not. For the most part they've been completely against meeting Democrats where they are, compromising and even giving themselves more allowance than the Dems--especially when it comes to something like the Supreme Court. So why do Dems keep offering them the olive branch instead of plunging ahead with the progress we desperately need?
Would You Swim With An Octopus?
Diver Craig Foster developed a unique relationship with a friendly octopus that led to a documentary, "My Octopus Teacher," that's being released just in time for World Ocean Day. Foster's friendship with the cephalopod is an extraordinary one; people don't often get to form bonds like this with the creatures like they might with some sea mammals.
Zodiac Frogs
Recently my teen sent me a TikTok of a bunch of animated frogs as the zodiac signs, and I thought it was so cute I'd look for more frog zodiac nonsense on the Internet. I wasn't disappointed. There's actually a primal sign of the frog that people can be born under! Check this out.
Stranger Things Still Filming
According to Chief Hopper, AKA David Harbour, Stranger Things is still filming and the season will likely finish up at the end of summer. This means that we probably won't see anything until 2022, as was predicted by Mike Wheeler, AKA Finn Wolfhard, in another interview.
