Let’s Look

Hello!

How’s your week going? Y’all, my long travel day on Sunday and then hitting the ground running on Monday caught up with me! Yesterday, I woke up from a dead sleep at 9:30! I got almost 11 hours of sleep. I can’t believe it…but clearly I needed it.

I also can’t believe that it’s already the second Wednesday of the month which means I’m linking up with Shay and Erika for Let’s Look.

So far this year, we’ve looked at:

• How we clean our closets in January
• Little things we do every single day in February
• What’s in our grocery cart in March
• Our daily quiet time/prayer time in April
• Our summer closet staples in May
• Our summer schedule in June

This month’s topic is let’s look at…podcasts and shows we binge.

Podcasts:

Well, I still don’t listen to a lot of podcasts. That being said, I finally reconnected my phone to my car, so maybe I will start listening to more podcasts when I have time.

On the podcast app on my phone, I do have downloaded random episodes of:

• Absolutely Not (you know I love Heather McMahan!)
• Hey Dude, the 90s Called (I love that Christine Taylor and David Lascher interview so many actors from the 80’s/90’s!)
• I’ve Had It (Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan are hilarious!)
• Let’s Be Honest (Kristin Cavallari doesn’t hold back!)

Two podcasts that I listen to regularly are:

Calm Down (Erin and Charissa talk about sports, news, travel, gossip and more!)

& …New Heights with the Kelce Brothers.

Just FYI – I was listening to this podcast before Travis and Taylor started dating! These two are also fun to listen to.

Audio Books:

I’ve just gotten into listening to audio books thanks to a few road trips and travel.

I listened to these two audio books last month:

This month, I’ve listened to Matthew Perry and Matthew McConaughey’s books, both narrated by them. I will share more in my July book review, but I really enjoyed both. There were definitely parts of Perry’s book that were hard to listen to knowing of his now untimely death.

I could listen to McConaughey’s voice all day long…just not on 1.50 speed like I usually listen to books and podcasts. haha!

Shows:

Recently, I watched Twelve Final Days about Roger Federer’s final twelve days before retirement. It’s on Amazon Prime, and I think it was just under two hours long. So, it’s not episodes, but a short documentary.

He’s definitely one of my favorite tennis players, and I loved seeing him off the court with his family as well.

On Netflix, I’ve been watching America’s Sweethearts about the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I watched it last week when I was in KC, and I still have one episode left.

Also on Netflix is Sprint about the US sprinters in the year leading up to the Olympics. Of course, this is a family favorite.

My summer guilty pleasure is always the Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip on Peacock. It’s been fun to see the NY ladies again.

Travis and I have been watching Presumed Innocent on Apple TV. I think we’ve watched the first four episodes. Our viewing has been kind of sporadic as we watched the first episode before vacation, and then watched a couple more before I left for KC. A new episode comes out every week, so hopefully we can keep the momentum going.

Right now, Hadley is re-watching all of All-American before the next season comes out…

…and Hayden’s been watching Friday Night Lights. Travis and I used to watch that show together when it was on TV. We were telling the kids how we used to look forward to watching it live every week…and that went over their heads. haha

Travis and I both stop and watch some of the episodes when Hayden has the TV on. Who doesn’t love Coach Taylor and Tammy?!?

Movies:

On our flight home from Seattle, I watched The Boys in the Boat, and it was SO good. I’d wanted to see it when it was in the theater, but that just never worked out. Now I want to read the book. I highly recommend it.

I love having extra time in the summer to watch shows that aren’t normally on during the year, or finding the time to get caught up on shows or movies that I’ve missed out on. Usually, my reading time dips a bit in the summer, but I’ve been good and keeping that up too!

Do you have any suggestions on shows I should watch? We have Netflix, Prime, Peacock, and Apple TV.
