Ellie's Graduation Brunch

{toasting it up with bellinis and mimosas}

This past Sunday we had a celebratory graduation brunch for my youngest sister, Elissa. We went to one of my absolute favorite brunch spots, Skinner's Loft. Also mentioned here.

Littlest sister, we are beyond proud of you. You have a beautiful heart, you are smart, and funny just to name a few things. So, we know you are going to be the best teacher ever. Can't wait to see you get your diploma in May. Congrats, Ellie we love you!

Bicycles and Brunch

This past Memorial Day weekend was absolutely wonderful!  It was full of BBQs, quality time with family and friends, and fun.  Yesterday my sister in law and her husband joined us for a bike ride around downtown Jersey City.  Afterwards we went for a delicious brunch at Skinners Loft.  Here are a few shots of the day...

Food Porn of The Week: Taqueria Downtown

Mexican food is my absolute favorite. Taqueria Downtown does Mexican right! We are talking the authentic stuff. There are not many words I can use to describe the insane deliciousness of this place. Just take a look for yourself...
