Happy (almost) weekend. I recently started watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City for the first time with my fiancé — and our jaws are on the floor. In between figuring out my tagline and bingeing every episode, here’s what else is on the weekend agenda:

  • Now that peach season has officially arrived in Georgia, I’ll make one of my favorite summer dinners, which was my mom’s best-kept secret (sorry, Mom). My fiancé sometimes grills chicken to go alongside, but rotisserie chicken also works in a pinch. Whatever you do, don’t skip the honey vinaigrette on top. 

  • I’ve been eyeing these paracord gemstone necklaces — aka the new Tribeca mom staple. They’re under $100, ideal for elevating tees and tanks, and exactly what my everyday necklace stack has been missing.

  • Catching up on the latest season of Couples Therapy. I walk away from every episode captivated by the couples’ stories — and Dr. Orna’s body language and very chic outfits. Nine episodes are simply not enough.

  • Finishing Whistler by Ann Patchett. Her books always feel like slipping into a perfectly worn-in cardigan, and this one chronicles a woman reconnecting with a father figure over the course of a few weeks. No one writes the human condition quite like she does.

  • Stocking up on Trader Joe’s most underrated flowers while I still can. Out of the way, peonies.
