There is one reason and one reason only to enter Whole Foods on a Sunday.

I spent way too long having a room without curtains. And blackout curtains are my new best friend.
I have bragging rights.

I have more food blogging opportunities than I thought.
(Brunch at Agave on Saturday and at Fat Radish on Sunday. Yum.)

I still can’t believe I (finally) live with my best friend.
MTA workers are quite possibly the toughest people in New York.
Work-less Saturdays need to happen more often.


If a stranger approaches you and asks if you like horses, ignore and walk away.
Shark Tank is one of the best TV shows ever. And Mark Cuban is a genius.
I’ve never met a C.S. Lewis quote I didn’t like.
What was a highlight of your weekend?
Any other Shark Tank fans??


























Ugh I went to Whole Foods on Saturday afternoon too…bad call!
And LOVE blackout shades! I have to use my eyemask without them.
what a great message in your devotional. what book are you using?
That one is “God’s Promises Day by Day”
it has great verses and commentary for each day
The highlight of my weekend was probably going to Target ahah I am officially a grandma! Glad you had a good weekend (:
I don’t often reply to your posts, though I thoroughly enjoy each one. You remind me so much of one of my closest friends, who lived in NYC when we were in our 20s. I love the message from your devotional. This weekend, I took my son to see ‘the Great and Powerful OZ’ and it was AMAZING!! We also made s’mores pizza Saturday night, after having it Friday night at Brixx Pizza. Again, I love your posts, they make Amy seem closer (she teaches English in the Repulic of Georgia these days) - I look forward to each one.
Hi Carrie, thanks for this comment! Glad you enjoy my posts
And s’mores pizza?! that sounds amazing!
Have a great Monday
I also love shark tank!! And mimosas! Sounds like a great weekend!
ohh almond butter is essential in my pantry too! And those brunches look amazing- before going GF/DF, brunch was my favorite meal of the day! And I love that CS Lewis quote too and am very much hoping it’s true!
LOVE Shark Tank. I would stay in on Fridays to watch it before I had DVR. Loser. But anyway, I was at the Ainsworth this weekend and thought of you!!!
oh fun! it must’ve been crazy for March Madness huh?!
Best almond butter ever!! Although MaraNatha is a close second…
agreed
Whatever those brunches are, they look amazing! I need to go out for brunch more often.
A highlight of my weekend was cooking dinner with friends and catching up with them!
I had a similar experience with strangers this weekend:
Random man in a black hoodie and bottle of britney spears perfume: “do you want to sample some perfume?”
Me: pretend to check phone, walk away…
Thanks for sharing about your weekend, Gracie! I love reading the all of the little details about your exciting NYC lifestyle!
hahaha, not creepy at all…
thanks for this comment, Kelsey!
I love all C.S. Lewis quotes too! I just recently discovered this and now I can’t get enough. My whole Pinterest board is covered in them haha
This weekend I was in Lake Taupo NZ and we went on a bunch of hikes and explored the city and it was beautiful, so the whole weekend was great but the highlight was definitely laying out on the beach and finally getting a sun tan!!
That sounds like an amazing weekend! I’d give anything to be able to lay out on a beach right now!
