FOR THE HOME
My mom bought me the prettiest blue and white floral pitcher from HomeGoods. Truly obsessed with it!
WHERE I WENT
Raleigh, NC – we went for a very short weekend trip {Saturday-Sunday} to visit family. We lucked out with beautiful weather and spent a lot of the time outdoors which was SO nice! We also dined at a new spot in the Cary area, First Watch. We LOVED it! Definitely recommend.
Lake Norman, NC – we spent this past weekend here soaking up lots of sunshine and relaxing on the water. Days on the water make me want summer to last forever! We also finished my book for July YAY! I’m on goal for finishing one book a month! Last month I read What Alice Forgot and this month I read Love Warrior.
MOVIES WATCHED
My Forever Girl: the movie received terrible reviews by rotten tomatoes however 85% of viewers liked it and I have to agree with the viewers. I loved it! It is a total chick flick and one of those where you know what is going to happen from the beginning however it’s a total feel good movie.
RECIPES TRIED
Sweet Potato, Zucchinini, and Chicken Breast – it calls for parmesan cheese, however I used vegan mozzarella and it was delicious!

WHAT I WATCHED
We are one episode from finishing Nashville, I’m pretty sure we’ll be watching it tonight. This was probably my favorite season, so I’m pretty sad the season and series are ending! What did you think of this season?
We just started watching Yellowstone and are completely hooked. Joshua is itching to watch it basically every day!
I’m still watching The Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce. I’m actually all caught up now and watching as the new episodes come out. Absolutely love the series!
Take a look back a previous monthly recaps here.
Ah, that blue Free People sweater has been on my list!

I’m about half-way through Nashville and kind of “stuck.” I think I need to pick it back up again because it is a great show!
I totally get that! I think part of the series was a little slow. Totally worth finishing though!

I LOVED My Forever Girl!! Highly recommend to everyone haha!! I also think I need to get back into Nashville! I watched the first season- don’t know why I stopped!
So good, right?! Making my life with this comment that you loved it as well. Good to know someone is as obsessed with it as I am. Yes, you absolutely should. It definitely drags for a season but picks back up and is so good.
