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. ✨

    I feel kind of famous after that shout out. Glad you liked it! Haven’t seen it. On my list. I try to read at least 2 books a week and see 1-2 movies. I really need to get a life.

    Love the drooling dog. Love your photography, as always!

    Haven’t seen those pumpkin buckets, but they are cute!

    Chocolate..pumpkins…movies. Good weekend.

    Those plates aren’t my cup of tea either. I’m not really into seasonal dinnerware though.

    Thanks for you comment and I think you would totally rock a half marathon! My personal opinion is that if you can run a mile, you can run at LEAST a half marathon. You go girl!

    Sarah – wish I could take credit for that pumpkin display – isn’t it awesome?! That one is in Hoboken. The plates were at HomeGoods – go get ’em!

    Ramona – the food and the displays are amazing!

    Patsy – well worth a visit. If you go, make sure to join their Rewards Program (free and application online and at register). Like Charlie Brown’s, you get points for every dollar you spend. Once you reach $200, I think you get $20 off next visit. You also get free dinner in your birthday month. The sushi displays are gorgeous, and there is plenty for non-sushi eaters as well. Ate octopus cakes and seaweed salad there for the first time – yum!

    Claire – I think it’s a great project to make with the kids. :)

    Beth – yes, cute, it’s the red dots that bother me.

    The Neighbor Wife – really? thanks for the heads up, will head there this weekend.

    Joanne – well if YOU think I can do it, then I think it’s a done deal!

    Casey – I’m impressed that you can read 1-2 books a WEEK with three kids – that’s awesome!
