Am I an awful person for saying that I’m glad this week is over? It wasn’t bad, just busy in an unexpected way.
R - Reading
🎧Audio: Mr. Heartbreaker and Mr. Broody, books #1-2 in The Nest hockey romance series by Piper Rayne
📱Kindle: Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love, a very slow-burn Dramione fanfic by isthisselfcare on AO3
E - Eating
butternut squash ravioli with sausage, alfredo, and walnuts toasted in sage browned butter
udon noodle bowls
chicken shawarma with pita, tzatziki, and Greek potatoes (potatoes that take at least an hour to cook are superior)
Did you know that Panda Express offers a Family Meal deal that includes 2 large sides and 3 large entrees? At $35, it ended up being a really good deal for our family this week. The four of us only ate half of it and took home leftovers for the next day’s lunch.
P - Playing
O - Obsessing over
Vera Bradley’s Spring bag charm collection. My daughter’s school mascot is the bees so I might have to get her this little coin pouch for her backpack.
R - Recommending
I watched not one but TWO entire movies on Sunday while my kids were sick and immediately texted a few friends to recommend them:
Picture This on Prime Video
My Fault: London on Prime Video
I’ve been thinking about My Fault: London since I finished and I honestly might re-watch it again soon. The chemistry in that movie is unmatched.
T - Treating myself
My favorite way to treat myself without spending any extra money is to take a little longer to do my skincare routine. Lately, I’ve been loving this Stay Cool Gel Primer Stick from e.l.f. I have rosacea and I love the cooling effect. It slides on smoothly and helps my foundation stick.

I didn’t know that about Panda Express, sounds like a great deal! Also did you know there’s an upcoming book that is a Dramione fanfic, The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy?
Ha! I watched Picture This last weekend it seamlessly started My Fault London right after. I'm about halfway through. Finishing today!
