Wednesday Weekly Journal Volume 2

Welcome back to another Wednesday Weekly Journal! The photo above is my nephew and I’m obsessed with it.

These posts are so fun to put together.. I hope you enjoy it too 🙂

Recipe(s) of the week:

Hello Fresh’s Crispy Chickpea Schwarma. I am OB-SESSED. I got it in a Hello Fresh box but I liked it so much that I went to the farmer’s market last Thursday to get tomatoes, cucumbers and dill to make the salad, which is uh-mazing on its own. Insane yum. It reminded me of my one and only Greek friend, Giulia. Here’s the salad on toast. Yummm.

Currently watching:

My friend Gabe recommended Dead to Me and I could kill him.. It’s SO good and I SO don’t have time for it. But it’s soooo good.

Currently Drinking:

Have you tried the new La Croix flavors? I was SUPER skeptical about the limoncello flavor but I like it.. It’s like a lemon Pez but refreshing. I’m a fan. Obvi the watermelon flavor is great :).

Currently Reading:

I’ve read this before and am reading it again. It’s dense. It’s heavy. It’s fantastic. Highly recommend.

Currently Listening:

If you’ve been following along my Instagram stories, you know that I am in the process of buying an investment property (!!!). Listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast is making me sooo excited about it!

This Week’s Adventures:

Jim and I had date night at Pizzeria da Marco (my favorite) on Friday (forgot to take a picture), I worked all day Saturday, and we went to Cana Winery on Sunday. It was a chill weekend but I needed it with having to work on Saturday.

Since I’m going to be home for an extended period of time starting this weekend, I asked my dad if we could postpone Father’s Day a week and he was happy to oblige. But, for good measure, here’s my favorite photo of him…

Also this week, I spent a good amount of time chilling in my sexy pajamas.

And met up with two friends to do work at Northside Social. It was 90 degrees, but we sat on the patio where the fans were on full blast and it was blissful to get a change of scenery for work. This will definitely be a regular meet up spot.

Hobbies This Week:

I went from staring at my Cricut in intimidation for over six months to not being able to stop thinking about it. It is SO cool and here’s what I’ve whipped up over the past week:

Also, I took a trip to Hobby Lobby this week (I love that place) and snatched up these frames for $8.75 each. I had to get matting custom cut ($10/each. Ugh) but am really happy with how these Annapolis photos I took turned out.

Also, my friend Gabe (same Gabe from above) and I have started voice texting each other almost daily with what we’re making for dinner. It’s been super fun and interesting… and delicious. Here’s what he helped me craft. Yum.
