an august media spotlight

here are some pop culture things i am currently loving | 

audio book | the morning miracle: the not-so-obvious secret guaranteed to transform your life (before 8am) by hal elrod – one of my best friends (love you, anna) has been encouraging me to read this for years… and i am finally (hope i don’t regret the amount of time it took me to pick this up!) better now versus never and i trust her so much ~ so i am excited about this one. 

paper book | the story hour by thrity umringer 

parenting | no-drama discipline by daniel j. siegel

t.v show | daily: the today show + weekly: bachelor in paradise (no shame!) 

artist | valerie june 

podcasts | the longest shortest time and on being

movies | last weekend we watched lion on saturday night with my mom (so incredibly moving – i really, really enjoyed it! have you seen it? what were your thoughts…) and then on sunday, my husband and i went on a date together… we enjoyed thai and a movie, the big sick. we laughed lots. i highly recommend both movies. (this was only the second movie i have seen since parks was born- the other being beauty and the beast with my mom last spring) 

parks / children books | pat the bunny is his current favorite (he loves the interaction) 

spotify stations | billie holiday, lucy rose, message to bears
