The world really needed this show this year. Joe and I kept raving about how it was corny and silly but still really meaningful and deep. It felt like that warm hug and unifying message that was missing so often in 2020. It’s a nice escape that doesn’t leave you with a streaming binge hangover.

Solo Stove Portable Fire Pit
$300I love the smell of bonfires but hate how long it takes to get the scent out of my clothing and hair afterward. We swapped out our previous fire pit for this one and it’s been a game-changer. Joe was asking for this for a while but I didn’t get how amazing it would be until we lit our first fire… there was zero smoke involved!

Derry Girls on Netflix
Included with Netflix SubscriptionThis show made me laugh in ways I hadn’t in quite some time. It’s set in Northern Ireland in the 90s (a time period when I’d visited Ireland and knew families who lived there). The juxtaposition of teenage problems set during a time of such unrest is both nuanced and darkly comedic. It’s an absolute gem of a show (but consider watching with the subtitles on!).
