My kids ask me every day if today is “the weekend,” and I always feel better when I can tell them it is, so I hope you are enjoying your free time as much as they are. Looking at last week’s top stories, it seems we all celebrate a little thing called Prime Day. I snagged a few things on sale, like a pickleball paddle for my husband so we can play together and a Ring floodlight for our back patio. Saving money is always exciting, and you seemed to agree. Some of our most-read stories were ones that highlighted our favorite Prime Day deals. The prices may have returned to normal, but these are still some of our [top travel items]( [noise-canceling headphones]( and [luggage-tracking devices]( that you can buy on Amazon.
