What we’re reading… Girl Stop Apologizing
Some of our contributors picked up the latest read from Rachel Hollis. With only a few days in, one contributor shared, “My first impression was that (while she was narrating) her heart wasn’t in it like when she was narrating GWYF. But now I feel like she is perfectly describing my life. Except for the part of being in the school band, which I never was.” More to come on Girl, Stop Apologizing once we’re done reading!
What we’re listening to… The Simple Ayurveda Podcast
Hosted by Angela Perger, an Ayurveda health counselor, Yoga teacher, and mother-of-two with a Master of Science in education. This mama knows her stuff. The most recent episode is the second in her Ayurveda and motherhood series. Definitely worth a listening if you are looking to live a healthier life.
What we’re watching…Workin’ Moms on Netflix
Every time someone mentions they’ve started a new show or have a new recommendation for me, it’s Workin’ Moms on Netflix. I started watching with my husband and the “mom humor” was a bit much for him, so he tapped out after one episode. Brace yourself to see boobs, early and often. Even so, it is an incredibly honest look at balancing career, relationship, and PPD {and of course, baby}. Earlier this week, I saw, writer/director/star, Catherine Reitman being interviewed on daytime TV. I was surprised to learn that it’s already been airing for a few years in Canada and to find out that her husband on the show is actually her husband irl. Somehow, knowing this makes their interactions on the show even better, IMO. Give it a watch.
What we’re making… Shrimp Pho (pronounced ‘fuh’)
My husband is currently obsessed with Pho and going to Vietnamese restaurants. I tried my hand at making Shrimp Pho this week. I had pinned a recipe from TheLemonBowl.com a while back and gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make, but it was a bit spicier than I like. My husband loved it. He was impressed with the flavor and how close it was to restaurant quality (gives myself high five).
