I popped into @chocolatinenj early on Mother’s Day and was rewarded with this deliciousness. Layers of soft flaky croissant dough, tender smoked salmon, light whipped cream, thinly sliced red and green onion slivers and dotted with capers… it was every bit as amazing as you’d imagine it would be. If you’re local, don’t sleep on this one. 😋

Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd bir Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd birthday. Unfortunately she’s not here to celebrate because she died suddenly at age 49. I think of her often … every Mother’s Day because we spent most of them together since her husband worked weekends … when I discover a new food adventure (we once did a day long donut crawl) … when I’m sharing a special time with my kids knowing that her then-11 year old is growing up without her. Before she passed, I always appreciated every day, but since then, even more so. You never know what the next day can bring, so relish in the sunshine, surprise rainstorms, making wishes over railroad tracks and all the wonderful randomness life can throw your way. Don’t waste a single second, say yes, live on the outskirts of your comfort zone, laugh often, tell people you love them, give eight second hugs, and squeeze every ounce of joy you can out of life. Do it for the people who can’t. ✨

    There are so many colors in this weekend, between that rainbow pillow, Maddie’s heart shirt and those dishes. It all appeals to me visually so much. Looks like you guys had fun yet again. And I spy more cupcakes!

    Everything looks like so much fun. I love all the colors and energy in these photos!!! And that first picture of Madeline? She looks so tall — and like a little girl instead of a baby.

    Kalyn – aww, thanks! This was the last weekend before school starts tomorrow, so was trying to pack as much fun as we could into one weekend. :)

    Ramona – Thanks! I’m a big fan of smiling, happy kids too! :)

    FireMom – you said it! ‘Twas a good weekend.

    Debbie – thanks!

    Kris – I know, right?! She was giggling because she got caught messing with my basil plant. The plates were from a small Back to School party last night – more to come.

    Pamela – love the extra long ones. :)

    Sarah – this weekend, I totally started seeing her as a little girl instead of a baby. She continues to amaze and delight us every day – love that little monkey!

    Claire – I refuse to set foot on ferris wheels, but luckily Nick doesn’t have that fear. He was in the yellow car. :) Love that pillow – it makes me smile every time I see it.

    Joanne – definitely a color-filled weekend. And cupcakes. Always cupcakes.

    Jess – if only for the cotton candy!

    Starnesfam – thank you!

    I was going to start crying ;-) because Maddy looked like such a big girl in that top picture, but then in the pic on the slide she still has some baby in her. Drag it out as long as you can! The swings were my favorite ride at the fair. Looks like y’all had a good weekend. Cute pillow!

    Hahahaha! I didn’t realize the plates were dirty dishes! I thought they were some kind of funky new ceramic plate or something.

    Looks like a very fun weekend!
    Your kids are dolls and I agree with other comments how grown up you “baby” looks. I think that when I see pictures of my “baby” lately.
