Normally, I don't have too much leisure TV time! Once we sit down for the evening, we usually watch one of our many, many movies on VUDU and I pretty much fall asleep within 15 minutes of getting comfy! That's why I'm surprised I have more than one recommendation for you!

Watching
We just finished up season 1 of Suits and we have really enjoyed it! I'm excited to have found a show that has a lot of seasons already and is still on. Plus, it's really neat to see Megan Markle, knowing what she ended up doing in real life! Available on Amazon Prime.
Listening
I really love Chalene's podcast. She always really interesting guests on for interviews about health, nutrition and just general life advice. I like to listen to the podcasts when I'm doing yard work. I can usually get 2 or 3 episodes in while mowing our yard. Last time I worked in the yard I enjoyed listening to the episode about people who are chronically late and the more recent one about cleanses-specifically those Instagram teas people are always promoting.
Reading
Me Before You was one of my favorite books! I have issues with the ending, but the writing and the characters were so good. I wasn't planning to read After You, the sequel, but when I discovered the Overdrive app that lets you check out audiobooks from your library I decided to give it a shot. It wasn't as good as Me Before You, but I did enjoy hearing from Lou again.
Lauren Groff writes SO beautifully. I picked up Florida because of the setting. As a Floridian I was curious! It's fun to read about places you are familiar with. This book is a collection of short stories all taking place in or having connections to Florida. I haven't finished it yet, but I already know I love the style of writing. You can seriously feel the heat and humidity rising off the page with her descriptions. Some of the stories are mesmerizing and some aren't as good.

Stay Here
I'm so happy Netflix is making home design shows! We don't have cable, so I've seriously missed HGTV. Genevieve Gorder has been one of my favorite tv designers for years, so when I saw her face on Netflix I clicked right away! This show is about people who are renting out their homes on Airbnb or VRBO and they haven't had much success. These guys come in to redecorate and help them give their guests a 5 star experience. Of course the places turn out so nice, but they also give really helpful tips on this show which I found interesting. I would totally stay on the houseboat in episode 1 and the cottage in the vineyard later in the season!
Marching Orders
I'm not sure if I've revealed that I was a band geek in school? I became first chair in flute after starting off with the french horn and hating it. Band was so hard and my band director made me cry a number of times. Marching Orders is about the marching band at Bethune Cookman in Daytona. Their band is exclusive to say the least! It was featured in the movie Drumline. This show documents some veterans and new recruits in one of the most serious marching bands in the country. The episodes are really short and they will make you want to go to a football game!
Amazing Interiors
Obviously, I have a thing for interiors and home shows! Amazing Interiors features just that-amazing homes. I really like that each episode highlights a work in progress as well as some established interiors. It's fascinating to see what other people have done with their passions and what people are willing to spend money on! The house within a greenhouse gave me some serious dream home inspiration.
Bonus Movie: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society
Oh my goodness, what a good movie! Lily James does an amazing job as an WWII era author who visits an unusual book club on the island of Guernsey. It's sweet, moving and wonderfully acted. I didn't realize it was a book, and I definitely have it on my to-read list now.

3 More Netflix Shows You Should Be Watching

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
Jerry Seinfeld is so hilarious. I appreciate his cleaner sense of humor, and that he is so relatable! In this show, he picks out a cool vintage car, picks up various other comedians and takes them out for coffee. It's like a talk show, but I feel like you really get the sense of who these people are in real life. Plus they are all really funny people! If you don't watch any other episodes, watch the one with Steve Harvey!
Nailed It
Fun fact: My husband and I LOVE cooking competition shows! We randomly clicked on Nailed It a few weeks ago and we found it hysterical. The bakers are normal everyday people and they have to try to recreate a professional's dessert. The end results will bring tears to your eyes-it's just too funny. If you don't watch any other episode, just watch #3!
Lost In Space
I didn't even realize this was in the works until I saw it featured on Netflix's main headline. Blake told me it was a tv show way back when, but I only remembered the terrible Matt Leblanc remake in the 00's. Anyway, this is SO well done. It's exciting and visually really cool. We almost watched the whole thing in one sitting! It was a super rainy day on Sunday, and all our plans had been cancelled. You don't get that luxury often! Episode one is stellar, and you do not have to like sci-fi to enjoy this show either.

Three Netflix Shows You Should Be Watching
Thursday, April 19, 2018
I love that in the summer it doesn't get dark until late. There is so much to do in the evenings outside while it's warm. Our summer evenings have been scheduled to the max! Whether there are chores to do, errands to run, or walks to take. That doesn't leave much time for tv. Honestly we haven't been watching too much tv at all lately!
The fall is different though. The time change makes it dark earlier and our days don't seem so packed. Although I love the summertime, I am really missing our favorite shows! Here is a list of when some of my favorites are coming back on.
Favorites:
Castle: Mon. Sept. 21st
Grey's Anatomy: Thurs. Sept. 24th
Once Upon A Time: Sun. Sept. 27th
The Flash: Tues. Oct. 6th
