Hey hey everyone! Hope you had an amazing week. It’s Sunday — that sweet spot where we slow down, reset, and get our minds ready for a new week ahead. So let’s jump right into this week’s Cece in the City recap because it was full of celebration, history, new experiences, books, and inspiration.
🎉 Birthday Love
First things first — I have to shout out my oldest daughter and wish her a happy happy birthday! 🥳 I am beyond proud of the woman she’s become. She’s beautiful inside and out, and watching her grow has truly been one of my greatest joys. Mommy loves you endlessly 💕.
⚔️ Stepping Back in Time: Medieval Times – Lawrenceville, GA
Next stop — Medieval Times in Lawrenceville, GA. I haven’t been in years, but let me tell you, it was still a good time! The show was entertaining, the food was surprisingly good, and the whole experience really takes you back in time.
A little history moment: Medieval Times is inspired by 11th-century Europe, complete with knights, tournaments, and royal courts. No forks, cheering for your knight, and dramatic sword fights — it’s part dinner, part history lesson, and all fun. If you’ve never been, definitely put it on your list.
☎️ Hidden Gem Vibes: Red Phone Booth – Atlanta
Now let’s talk about something very different — Red Phone Booth in Atlanta. This spot was such a vibe! It’s a chill lounge with a pool table and bar, but here’s the twist… you need a secret code to get in 👀.
That alone made the experience fun. I love trying new things, and this was the perfect place to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. Definitely one of those “Atlanta hidden gems.”
📚 Cece’s Book Corner
You already know it’s not a Cece blog without a book moment. This week’s read was A Little Bit of Karma by ReShonda Tate Billingsley — and whew, it was a different kind of read.
This book dives into:
- Communication (or lack of it) in relationships
- Love and life’s unexpected turns
- Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
- How mistakes and silence can change everything
It’s full of drama and definitely makes you think. If you enjoy stories that reflect real-life situations, make sure to check it out:
🎬 Cece On the Scenes
I don’t watch a lot of series, but sometimes you need a break from books — so I watched His and Hers.
Let me say… 4 out of 5 ⭐
Great acting, twists and turns, and one of those shows that keeps you guessing. If you’re looking for something suspenseful and well done, this is a must-watch.
✍🏽 Inspired by Powerful Women
As I continue my own writing journey, I have to pause and give thanks to women who motivate and inspire me.
- Oprah Winfrey — magazines, interviews, book clubs… she does it all. I have a magazine, a book club, and I love interviewing people, so seeing her journey reminds me that mine can grow just as big.
- Angie Thomas — author of The Hate U Give and On the Come Up. Powerful storytelling that not only became bestselling books but impactful movies. Her work opens eyes, sparks conversations, and inspires change. Truly an amazing author — definitely check her books out if you haven’t already.
Until next time…
Stay tuned, stay inspired, and keep exploring with Cece in the City 💫
