Happy 4/20, you guys 😉
I have no idea how we made it to Friday but here we are which can only mean one thing—FRIDAY GRATITUDE LIST! At the end of each week, I link up with Lindsay, Beth, and the girls (and dudes!) from our Peaceful Posse Facebook group and we reminisce about the things that made us happy that week. It’s a good thing, because my brain has a hard time remembering what happened just yesterday, but I love the practice of giving thanks for what was and looking forward to what is to come 🙂
Without further ado, here’s my happy! (side note: don’t you think it should be spelled “adieu”?)
Getting to meet bloggers last weekend–including Tamara, one of my blogging idols!
Lugging home a 50-pound cast iron pot AND an egg cooker because they were on a crazy sale at Boscov’s (huzzah!)
Doing the right thing
Chats with my momma
Sun (for five minutes—I’ll take it!)
Living in a world where this insulated cooler bag exists (thank you, Betsy Johnson!). I wish I took a better picture so you could see just how fabulous it actually is. It’s a bag that LOOKS LIKE A TACO TRUCK, you guys. Also, despite the price tag, it was actually on sale at Macy’s Backstage for $30. Would you have picked this up?
Getting to spend time with coworkers in NYC today
Cooking! This week I made vegan Buddha bowls with tofu, black bean enchiladas, and general Tso’s chickpeas (everything was so damn good!)
Going back to the gym—sadly I have neglected my health lately and my body is feeling it
What’s on your happy list this week? Sending all my love and sunshine, and hope you have fun things in store for this weekend. Bryan and I are back at it with house hunting, and I have good feels about the homes we’re looking at. Send positive thoughts, please!

How awesome is that cooler bag!
That sale looks amazing – those pots are so pretty.
Going back to gym always feels so good – I also went this week and can feel the difference.
Sending positive thoughts for the house hunting! Have a great weekend.

OMG — that taco bag!! I just checked Macy’s website and it wasn’t on there. I have a friend who’s birthday is coming up and it would be perfect for her. Also, that dutch oven!! Which color did you get? What a great price.
Beth says
Oh my gosh that taco bag is epic! I would have probably bought in a heartbeat, ha! We finally had sun this week too and it was so amazing. I want one of those cast iron pots! We cook so much in cast iron! Hope you have a good weekend and all the good house vibes your way as always! Love you lady! XOXO

Those deep dish casseroles are to die for. And what a price!! I have a red one but would love a white one, too. Can one have too many? I actually sometimes use the lid placed upside down, to roast garlic in the oven. It’s the right size and I don’t have to get a big pan out. The knob is flat so it lies straight on the oven rack and on top of the oven when I take it out. I love finding double purposes.
That Taco bag is cool. I adore Betsey Johnson’s style. I have a pair of her earring and they’re so fun.
Have fun house hunting, Charlotte! I can’t wait to hear next week how it went. Remember sometimes the thing you don’t like when you look at a home ends up being your favorite part. That happened to me. True story.
Have a great weekend!

I FINALLY joined a gym and got a tour of everything this week, so my plan is to go tomorrow. Here’s to hoping I can keep up with some type of schedule.
Yay for meeting bloggy friends – always fun.
omg, I love that cooler! How cute is that? Betsey Johnson has some cute things.

That’s steep for a taco, though. Like, $1. You can get a great taco for $1.
I’m feeling you on missing exercise. I haven’t been outside except to coach in a while. Coaching isn’t exercise. it’s stress in the sun. I love it, but it’s not exercise!
Call me next time and I’ll go to that sale with you. I want that red dutch oven! I’ll even carry all the shit. (And we can go Dutch on lunch!)
Kathy G says
General Tso’s chickpeas sounds WONDERFUL! I’m off to Google a recipe for it.

Ok, that cooler bag is seriously cute. That’s awesome that you found a good dutch oven on sale. I use mine for everything. It’s definitely an investment that has paid off!
Shybiker says
Now that’s a pot! Love the cooler bag, too.
Karen says
That bag is pretty cute but I LOVED that wallpaper you instagramed about. lol

Tamara says
Have you used the egg cooker a lot yet?? We have been using all three waffle irons.. haha.
Also, I came here to wish you a more than week anniversary of meeting. I’m still pinching myself!!
San says
I love my Dutch oven. I use it for EVERYTHING.
Shea says
That taco truck cooler bag is awesome–what a great find! Also, a dutch oven for $20?! That is awesome. And I’m thankful for the sun too, which finally decided to come out this weekend 🙂
Lindsay says
Hey sweetheart,
Your vegan bowls sound so delish right about now, now that I’m famished from being at the gym.
Sunshine is great and I, too, will take it when I can, even if it’s only brief. Monday was beautiful but it’s been pretty grey ever since and I hear the rest of the week is much of the same. It really feels like spring is finally here and staying (I hope!).
Hope your house hunting was fruitful on the weekend and if you didn’t find anything you loved, that you enjoyed your company at the very least. 😉
Love you momma!
xoxoxo

Meeting blog friends is awesome! Also, super cool that you met Tamara!!
That taco bag is rad. I heart Betsy Johnson. I actually own a pair BJ of sunglasses that I have to retire.
🙁 I’m kinda sad about it.
Wishing you a lovely week!
