I’ve been on a smoked salmon kick lately (it’s I’ve been on a smoked salmon kick lately (it’s so good for you), so when I saw that a local patisserie has a smoked salmon croissant available (weekends only), I added it to my list of things to seek out. 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. ✨

Weekend Photos in Review

February 20, 2011 · Photos

I can’t even believe it’s Sunday night already – this weekend has flown by, thank goodness we have an extra day off tomorrow.  We’ve had a busy weekend, but save for a few pictures, I feel like my camera has hardly seen the light of day.  Here’s a peek of what we’ve been up to – hope your weekend was fabulous!

CheeseballGet your very own colorful pinwheels at the Dollar Spot at Target. It will make you think that Spring is just around the corner!

Backpack PowersShe told me she needed this castle backpack because it gave her superhero powers. She was so cute when she said it, I almost gave in. Almost.

New LoveLove these, but so far I can only find them at our local bagel shop. Go figure.

Littles for the LittlesReally think a store like Whole Foods would put some thought into the waste factor of their one container per cupcake solution.

      That one is from Pier 1. Only a few weeks ago, so should still be available.
