Tuesday Things.
1. These chocolate caramel peanut brownies look insane.
2. Max and I watched the gymnastics olympic trials this weekend and oooooh my gosh, I was such an emotional basketcase at the end! I wish everyone could make it. Those girls are so incredible.
3. I love the idea of coming home dinners. What is yours?
4. Today was my official due date and it’s crazy to think Jordan has been here for almost three weeks now! I’ve never been so happy to have someone here so early and at the same time can’t even imagine if I was still pregnant – feels like a lifetime ago.
5. Oh and P.S. there are some moments where I’m surviving on peanut butter filled pretzels so there’s that.
6. On the magnificence of Meryl Streep. YES.
7. TV things!! Oh a whim I decided to rewatch Sons of Anarchy, I have no idea why. Not like I need something so ridiculously dark right now! I do plan on binging Younger too!
8. How to deal with feeling burnt out. Summer is the perfect time to take a mini break.
9. Current favorite podcast? I need some new ones to add to my list.

TC after Dark podcast
Highly recommend the podcast Smartless with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. They are so fun on their own but bring a surprise guest each week and it’s so enjoyable!
Highly recommend the podcast Smartless with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. They are so fun just the 3 of them but they bring on a surprise guest and it’s so enjoyable! Lots of insight on the entertainment industry too!
I just launched a podcast. It’s called The How to Be Awesome Podcast. You should check it out.
Current favorite podcasts: Smartless, Kara Swisher’s Sway, What Should I Read Next (Anne has the BEST book recommendations), and Moms Don’t Have Time to Read (short and sweet, but more great book recs and interesting author interviews). Love your blog and new book – congrats on the new addition to your family!
Love the Trashy Divorces podcast! Cannot endorse it enough!
Have you listened to SmartLess with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes? I laugh out loud at almost every episode. This week they talked to Jose Andres who is hilarious as well as an amazing chef and humanitarian.
I loved Sons of Anarchy! Great show!
And as far as podcasts to start, I’d recommend Paige Talks Wellness. :)
Super recommend season 4 of the Scene On Radio podcast. It’s run by a documentary studies professor out of Duke University. Honestly, all of their seasons are great, but season 4 explored our democracy and how democratic it was ever meant to be. Heavy, but a super interesting history lesson that covered from the founding of the country to now. Really eye opening. I also love Revisionist History.
When my brain can’t take learning anymore, Office Ladies is always a nice, light hour.
Have you listened to Glennon Doyle’s new podcast We Can Do Hard Things that she does with her sister? I highly recommend! I also enjoy Bad on Paper for a lighter listen.Â
I love to learn what podcasts others are listening to! I’m a big true crime pod fan (which I know you aren’t) but the Dateline ones have been my go to’s recently.  They aren’t super scary and all seem to be resolved.Â
I also love any NPR podcast.Â
History of the 90s is pretty light.Â
Lemonada just released No One is Coming to Save Us and it’s insightful (and maddening) and I highly recommend. Â
I live in New England but was born and raised in Southern California. My “coming home” food is 100% In-N-Out. It is where I stop first after leaving the airport.
The pop cast with Knox and Jamie is fun light pop culture.Â
Even the Rich does a season on a famous person or scandal deep dive like Beyoncé, the Kennedys, Britney, Madonna.
If you watch any of the Real Housewives then Watch What Crappens is a hilarious recap show NSFW though.Â
Hi! I’ve been reading this forever and never comment, but I just created a new podcast so I’d thought I’d share – it’s called Coping With Ghosting – all about how to heal after being ghosted! I decided to turn my pain into my purpose & help others. Congrats on your new baby!!!
We’ve been getting a kick out of Smartless! I’m not usually big on podcasts, but they have a wide range of guests and hearing them laugh is contagious. Highly recommend!
Okay, it won’t appeal to everyone but Mission to Zyxx is an improve space opera podcast with zany characters and a ton of comedians and improvers from UCB and such. Not safe for young ears, more in subject matter than actual words, but highly entertaining. = )
And for the kids, What If World is the absolute bomb, along with Story Pirates.
The closest to a welcome home dinner is the tradition my in-laws have is whenever anyone is visiting or returning home from a trip we have to eat at this restaurant called Sunset House. It’s on the waterfront so it has a great ocean view.
