Girlfriends, episode number 96. Getting ready for Advent with Sterling Jakewith.

Hello and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission

to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find

peace, balance, and joy in family living. This week, we're talking with special guest

Sterling Jake Witt on how to avoid the crazies this Advent season. I can't wait to start.

Let's get going.

Hey, girlfriends. How are you? Welcome to another show. Welcome to another week. I hope your week is starting out well. Mine is starting out a little groggy early this Monday morning because it's my own fault. Well, all right, it's my husband's fault too. We've been staying up late Stranger Things. Have you watched that show? It's so creepy and weird and different and yet really well done. It's in

its second season on Netflix. If you have Netflix, it's totally free. Anyway, I heard a little bit about

it when it first came out. There was some buzz about it and some people I knew were totally addicted to it. And I just kind of ignored it. And for some reason, we turned it on. I guess because their second season is now, um, showing. And, uh, you can, you know, hear about it on blogs. You see it on Facebook. It's everywhere. So, um, I think there are eight episodes in this second season. Anyway,

we're just beginning the second season and I counted up the episodes because I know I'm going

to be devastated when it's done. So anyway, staying up a little too late, possibly doing that.

But it's been fun. I always like it when we find a new show to watch together.

If you have recommendations, maybe that's something we could share

here on girlfriends because if you have recommendations about what kind of shows you like to watch

as a family or what kind of shows you like to kind of binge watch either on your own or as a couple,

I always like those kinds of recommendations. Dan and I really enjoy watching shows together.

One recent show that I got into, but I was watching it completely on my own, was This Is Us.

And I don't usually watch television on my own.

I just don't.

But somebody recommended it to me.

And I checked out the first episode when I was alone traveling.

And I knew immediately that I liked this show, but that Dan wouldn't like this
