8.21 Friday Faves

8.21 Friday Faves Hiiii! Happy Friday! How are you? What’s going on this weekend? We’re finally finding our groove with the kiddos back in school and the Pilot’s travel schedule. Liv is back in dance, P is taking a break from basketball to play soccer, and we’re already looking forward to fall break. This week, I’ve been diving back into work stuff (some exciting things on the way!) and also met up with some friends for lunch and juice which was a nice lil treat. Last weekend, we went to KCON in LA! Our two K Pop fans wanted to go, so we took a trip to LA for the weekend. It was pretty cool: SO many bands performing on various stages, food and beauty vendors, and a huge arena concert featuring the headliners from each day. The lines to get in were the craziest lines I’ve ever seen. There were thousands of people still lined up when we arrived, which is reason to skip it next year or get the Express Access pass. Once we got inside, it was a lot of fun. Liv was able to see so ma...

What to Do in the First 24 Hours After a Loved One’s Arrest

What to Do in the First 24 Hours After a Loved One’s Arrest In 2010, the Supreme Court decided Berghuis v. Thompkins , a 5-4 ruling that said a suspect who sits silently through hours of questioning has not invoked the right to remain silent. To use the right, you have to speak up and say so. Useful trivia on a normal Tuesday. Urgent the second someone you love is in a holding cell. The first 24 hours after an arrest are loud, disorienting, and packed with small decisions that shape the case in ways nobody sees at the time. Most families reach for the obvious moves, and most of those moves make things worse. Why the Obvious Moves Backfire The instinctive playbook has three moves. Each one feels like help. Each one has a cost. Talking it out on the jail phone . Every call from a jail is recorded, and prosecutors listen. A guide from Ohio Legal Help puts it plainly: assume every word is on the record and being reviewed. A frustrated venting session can end up quoted back at a bail...

Domestic Abuse Defence Solicitors: Handling an Allegation from Your Former Partner

Domestic Abuse Defence Solicitors: Handling an Allegation from Your Former Partner Even after a relationship has ended, disputes can sometimes continue. In the worst case, one individual would decide to raise accusations of domestic abuse despite the end of the relationship. This could be a very intimidating experience for the accused individual, particularly when they know that there are no real accusations at all. The situation surrounding the claim will be thoroughly investigated during the process. Domestic abuse defence solicitors can assist in going through all these processes. What Happens after the Filing of the Complaint? Information would be collected by the police through the complainant and other individuals with any knowledge regarding the case. In some instances, they might even go to the extent of questioning and arresting the accused. Domestic abuse cases might involve either one case of misbehaviour or behaviour over a period of time. So, the kind of evidence need...

books from lately

books from lately Sharing a roundup of the books I’ve read lately and if they’re worth adding to your collection.  Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend! Today, I wanted to share the books I read lately and share my ratings with you. I haven’t made reading as much of a priority lately – admitedly, I’ve been doomscrolling a lot – but there have been some real winners in the mix. Here’s what I’ve read lately: Books from lately The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau Kristin Harmel is one of my all-time favorite historical fiction authors and her latest book did not disappoint. I devourved it on the flight home from Orlando and couldn’t read it fast enough. This is the story of Colette Marceau, a woman in her 90s who has spent her entire life as a jewel thief. It alternates between the early 2000s and WW2, and as the events of her childhood unravel, we learn more about her family, why and how she started stealing jewels, the details involving her s...
