What we’re reading… The Silent Patient
This comes highly recommended by our contributor, Claire:
“It’s really good. And I usually hate fiction. I’m listening to the book and the British accent really draws you in. I love how the beginning is sort of like a diary entry (I say sort of because she doesn’t want it called a diary or journal, she’s just writing), and very personal. Then the rest of the book goes into the story about her, as told by someone else.”
What’s in our Amazon Cart… Leggings
These workout leggings are raved about by all the bloggers and often compared to the Lululemon ones that are double the price! I’m eyeing up the pretty mauve color to give my postpartum workout journey a fun, colorful start. There are 5 other colors available.
What we’re watching… Big Little Lies (Season 2)
It’s back and they have Meryl. Yes, Meryl Streep is joining the cast of BLL for Season 2 as Perry’s mother. One of my favorite pairings is Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) and Mary Louise (Meryl Streep), and they entertaining exchanges the two characters have with each other. Episode 1 of the Season 2 did NOT start off slow, they started with the summer ending and new school year beginning. Who is really feeling herself this season? Renata, played by Laura Dern. Don’t worry, that settles down in Episode 2. Tune in Sunday nights on HBO, or stream on Amazon here.
What we’re making… Zuppa Toscana soup
I know, it’s summer. Who would want hot soup? My husband. If I’ve gotta make soup in the summer heat, then I’m making an Olive Garden copycat from Natasha’s kitchen. I made the mistake of not trusting the 10 cloves/head of garlic recommendation and went with 5. You can definitely do the head of garlic and the taste will still be amazing. Your kitchen will smell utterly delicious, but save the makeouts for another night with all that garlic floating around. Be sure to season well with salt & pepper while making it too.
