Watching | The Summer I Turned Pretty

Gah! Like every good millennial, I've tuned into TSITP. This show is so high school and a back and forth love triangle with moody teenagers is not my favorite, but somehow I've kept watching. Maybe because it has such a great soundtrack (largely Taylor Swift) or because Laurel and Susannah's friendship always had me tearing up. For the record, I'm team Cam Cameron :) Belly should ditch those Fisher boys...

Reading | The Nevermoor Series

I love this YA fantasy series and will continue to rave about it—the wonderful world-building, whimsy, and strong female central character of Morrigan Crow. The audio narrator is great! I'm eagerly awaiting my hold to come available for the fourth and latest book. 

Listening | "Man I Need" by Hiko
I just discovered this remix on Spotify and found it's the perfect one-minute boost for a treadmill sprint. Turns my walk into a jog :) 

Eating | Roasted Chicken
I never thought I'd be a person who roasts whole chickens, but it's as simple as can be and a great source of protein our whole family enjoys. I know a chicken and a turkey aren't the same thing, but can't help but feel like it's Thanksgiving each time we roast one.
