Hey friends! Just a quick photo post today to catch up on life in NYC in between the trip to LA and having my sister in town.

In honor of National Fry Day and National Mac and Cheese Day being back-to-back, I indulged in both on the same evening at Schnipper’s

.

My brother and his girlfriend got at cat, and I am obsessed. Meet Tuna!

Nothing like Christmas in July to break up the sweltering summertime heat.

National Ice Cream Day also fell this month, and I indulged in my favorite – Van Leeuwen – in between work and church. (It was National Ice Cream Day last year when I first had their strawberry ice cream, and it remains the best!)

The day before I left for LA was the birthday of S’MAC, a mac and cheese place I discovered thanks to my mom last fall. Their all-American dish was only $1 that day, so really, it only made sense to indulge.

Another picnic in the park ruined by thunderstorms, but aren’t those clouds pretty?!

I couldn’t believe it when this little guy flew up to me in the park and settled on my arm. He sat there for several minutes!

Finally: I purchased a Giving Key with the word ‘trust’ after receiving a generous gift card from my church. I love it so much!
