This week, I recorded a podcast with Bryan all about Walter (our 1.5 year old doodle-mix dog). It was so funny. Walter drives Bryan nuts. Walter also adores Bryan. Isn’t that how it goes? It’s coming to the Simplified podcast soon. Hope your week has been wonderful and that temps are cooling off for you. I’m headed to NC tomorrow for a holiday themed photoshoot and can’t wait to wear jeans without fear of melting.
Happy Sunday scrolling!
Reign. I’m about 3/4 of the way through this book and I love it. It’s really great (the whole series is) if you’re looking for something lighthearted that draws you in. The series is based on the royal family of America (had America become a monarchy, rather than a democracy), the Washingtons. Reign is the series closer. If you’re an audio-book lover like me, this one is narrated by Brittany Prescott and she’s fantastic.
Cultish. This book has been on my TBR list a while, but I may move it to the top. The Danny Masterson trial (And the Ashton Kutcher / Mila Kunis drama) has reignited my interested in Scientology and it’s very complicated history. I lived near Clearwater, Florida for ten years (where it is based) and it’s… fascinating.
Beth Moore. I loved our conversation on Beth Moore last week in Sunday Scroll #4. I’m definitely going to read her memoir.
Talking to Kids About Sex (Cup of Jo). How’s that for a hard pivot!? Seriously, though, I just gave my brother and SIL my copies of some of my “little kid” books I used to discuss “things” with my kids. And looked into a few for bigger kids (great books linked in this article). This article was perfectly timed. PS: Highly recommend following @birds__bees on Instagram. We use their “slow drip” method for giving our kids factual information when the time is right.
