I don’t know how we are halfway through summer, but here we are! Today I’m sharing a few things I’m loving lately in July 2020. Despite a lot of heavy stuff going on in my family, I’m trying to be optimistic and continuously thankful for everything around me.

What I’m Loving to Read and Watch
Books: Thanks to Book of the Month Club I always have a new book waiting to be read. I just finished up “One to Watch” by Kate Stayman-London and loved it! It’s a sweet rom-com about a plus-size fashion blogger who finds herself the star of a reality Bachelorette style t.v. show.

TV Shows: I waited months for The Baby-sitter’s Club to premier on Netflix and was not disappointed in the least. As a proclaimed BCS fan, I read every Baby-sitter’s Club book published during one summer in elementary school. I even made my own imaginary BSC with my neighbor before we were old enough to babysit. Netflix did an incredible job turning the classic books into a modern day series.
One of my favorite murder series – Marcella – is back with two new seasons, but I only liked part of the second. Another Crime TV drama I enjoy, In the Dark is back with season 2 and pretty good!

Painting Live with Brush beCAUSE

On my bucket list to stay in Watch Hill RI obviously next year when the dreaded virus is gone.I love J Crew and love your paintings. 🙂
Love the Lands End backpacks! Finally cute backpacks that sit high on the back/shoulder area and doesn’t harm posture!
I am loving hats and visors. Also sun shirts as I am outdoors every day!
I was also loving being back to line and WCS, 2step dancing….. but that is on hold now that our instructor’s husband had a + test. Darn
