This post is dedicated to my stepmother Missy. Her birthday was this weekend, and we celebrated in a big way with Sesame Street live in the afternoon and a surprise party in the evening. I want to give major props to Chef Robert Lupo for providing the most fantastic meal and Pollen for making sure the flowers were perfect! It was a wonderful evening with family and friends celebrating a lady we love so much! Happy Birthday Missy!!

I also always go by theSouper Jenny booth to see what salads they have. This week I discovered Eden Easy Beds, a company that makes wooden containers and the most beautiful succulent arrangements. You can bring them your own container, and they will make an arrangement for you that you can pick up the following week. I am going to do that for sure! And finally, I couldn't leave without some Banner Butter, which is truly one of the best things I've ever tasted. I didn't know butter could be that good!
