No-Stress Media
I think we all have a bit of election and pandemic fatigue. I know I do. Here are some of my favorite recent finds to help take your mind off things and relax a bit!
Books:
28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand – so good!
Always the Last to Know – Kristan Higgins
What You Wish For – Katherine Center
Short Stories:
Giraffe & Flamingo – Curtis Sittenfeld – I love all of her books!
Apps:
NYT Crossword App – I love doing the daily mini! Mike and I have done crosswords in bed since back in the dark ages when you needed a book and a pencil. This is much easier to navigate!
Netflix: Besides Top Chef with the family, I really don’t watch much TV. However, I have found I am willing to ride the Peloton much further when I’m watching something I enjoy — these have been recent binges while pedaling!
Other TV:
This is Us – Such a great show. I cry every episode but love it. The Big Three is my age and I relate to all of them, but Randall especially!
Podcasts:
Best of Both Worlds Podcast – Two working moms discuss all of the topics that impact working mothers! A great listen!
Best Laid Plans – a podcast all about planning and planners!
I love that my new car makes listening to podcasts so easy and they sync with my phone and through Alexa. I listen in the car, while folding laundry, and doing random chores like meal prep around the house. My AirPods that I bought myself for my birthday have helped increase my listening too!
