READ THE GROWNUP DISH SEPTEMBER 2026 NEWSLETTER
Well like it or not, it’s fall ‘yall. We didn’t take a “real” vacation this summer but our fall is jam packed with fun trips and activities. We head to Charleston next week (my first visit), followed by a bike trip in the Palisades with some friends.
I spent nearly all of August dealing with a hack on my TikTok account that had me locked out for over three weeks. I just regained access yesterday and the whole experience was stressful & frustrating.
This weekend is Labor Day so be sure to check out my favorite potluck and picnic recipes. Don’t skip the blackeyed pea salad recipe I posted below and there’s never a bad time to make a pumpkin dump cake.
August was a doozy with the deaths of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and (this morning) Gloria Steinem. All the while the man we all not-so-secretly want to die lives on. Make it make sense.

P.S. Scroll down for the viral angry lady cookies, a fabulous deal on hats, my hairy face (who knew?) and my favorite tinted moisturizer with SPF.
P.P.S Don’t miss this month’s midlife musings which include a link to a cute $8 dress.
