Celebratory macarons because birthday week only comes around once a year. 🙌🏻 My favorite flavor is the Coconut but I strayed a bit this time. Turns out my favorite flavor is still coconut! 😂 Want to try them yourself? Stop in at @sweetexpressionsbygeri_ in Denville - they’ve got a great selection and you can work on finding YOUR favorite, one bite at a time. They’re open Tuesday through Saturday 10-4. 😍

It’s Leo season and we are HERE for it. ♌️ He asked if we could hang out and you know I was all too eager to say yes so we had lunch together. Next week, my baby will be 19! 19! It feels like just yesterday, and I remember those early days like it was, but man, it also flew by in a heartbeat. Appreciate every single moment, even the hard ones, because it goes way too fast. 🥰

I was at the office late tonight and while I was there, it started to rain. One half of the window showed grey angry clouds and rain showers, and the other side was blue skies and sunshine. I kept waiting and looking for the inevitable rainbow but didn’t see one. About an hour later, I was in a parking lot going back for that painting I spied at @tjmaxx earlier (watch my stories to see it), and played with the sun flare a bit and caught this rainbow instead. Such a metaphor for life, isn’t it? Sometimes the rainbow and happiness is there, but just not where you were looking for it. Happy weekend, friends! ✌🏻

Years ago, when having friends over for dinner, on

Years ago, when having friends over for dinner, one of them apologized for always coming over to OUR house and said it was because she was afraid to cook for me. I told her that was crazy, and it was … I love when other people do the cooking and take out is a-ok too! Just because I love cooking doesn’t mean I don’t love when other people do it too, and, tbh, I’m cooking a lot less these days anyway. Don’t be afraid to cook for others and break bread with them. I’m no food critic, I just enjoy food and new recipes and sometimes getting a break from the kitchen. A friend who is way more organized with his meals than I am made pot roast a few days ago and kindly shared some. His pot roast and my mashed potatoes made a crazy day far less crazy. The little things are not so little. 💫

Yesterday Nick and I went to @hummusrepublic for lunch. It was opening day for their newest location, in Morristown, and I have been stalking their IG page and physical location waiting for them to open. 🤩 Everything was as amazing as I anticipated. I got the Mushroom Shwarma Bowl with all the toppings I could fit, he got the Chicken Shwarma and we got falafel and hummus to go. Thank goodness they have a rewards program, because we’ll definitely be back! So stoked that another option for super healthy food is in the area; go check them out if you haven’t yet!

Fifty-two years today! Today my parents celebrated

Fifty-two years today! Today my parents celebrated their 52nd anniversary. 😍 They actually had three separate weddings (long story), but today is the one I go with. Not only have they been married for that long, they also worked together for over thirty years in several businesses they owned, and survived being cooped up in a pandemic. 😰 If I ask my mom what her secret to a long lasting marriage was, she might say big houses and separate offices when they worked together. I think my dad would say patience. 😂 They each have their own interests, and are independent enough to pursue them, and balance each other out. He’s the straight arrow where everything is black and white and you only talk when you have something to say. She is all the color and fills all those silences. He laughs at her whims and she tolerates his lack of spontaneity. It seems to work! I can’t even imagine being with someone that long, but I’ve done the math and there’s still hope for me. Happy happy anniversary! 💫

Finished the weekend strong with a trip to @beeniesicecream to celebrate #NationalIceCreamDay! They chose Golden Oreo, Strawberry, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. Beenie’s is also home to my all-time favorite Honey Lavender, but I resisted this time. What’s your favorite flavor? 🍦

There is something pretty special about tracking down a new favorite stuffed animal for someone you love. My littlest niece is with us for the weekend and was on the hunt for a @squishmallows. You know, just like every other kid. 😂 There was one long Friday night a few months ago that I drove Maddie to SEVEN places and turned up empty. Today they each scored a new favorite at @lemorristown. Meet Lobby the Lobster, and my niece, Eloise. 🥰
