“I love baking.” Smudge made it official last night while baking key lime pies for herself and a friend. Because it was a Wednesday night. And her friend had requested Smudge bring key lime pie for the two of them for school lunch. Because that’s what a 10 year old girl does when her mother is known among the friend set as FoodieCrush. She has the genes. She bakes on Wednesdays.
I couldn’t be a more proud mama.
We’ve been perfecting our chocolate chip cookie. I have our family favorite with oatmeal and nuts already on the blog, but this one is just plain, semi sweet goodness all. day. long. It may be coming to a blog near you soon.
This weekend will be the first of the past 8 that I haven’t spent the day brunching with my mama. Before that, I hadn’t spent Mother’s Day with my mom in 13 years. I like it better when we’re together. Happy mom’s day Miss P. I love you madly.
If you’re in need of some Mother’s Day inspiration, hop over to this round-up of favorite recipes, gifts, and entertaining ideas for yo’ mama.
Here’s to you and your mom having a great weekend, whether you’re together or solo. Both are perfect reasons to eat more cookies.
And now, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves.

I walked into Crate and Barrel and walked out with this. Total impulse buy that I’ve been eyeing for over a year. So actually not impulsive at all. Or so I am reasoning.

Who knew Jim Carrey was so introspective and inspiring? This graduation speech is well worth a listen.

I’ve been walking my Zoee every morning but am ready to make the move to running. This will put me in the starting block.
In honor of Mother’s Day, Deer Valley has posted about our mother/daughter ski day. It turned out to be the funnest day of skiing all year. And in a blink of the eye, snow will be here again before we know it.
