We went to Williamsburg to check out the open air food market, Smorgasburg but unfortunately it started raining when we got there. So we went to Mole for some delicious Mexican instead.
And we ordered a LOT of tacos.
The best baja fish taco in my opinion.
I made berry strata for breakfast this morning. This is a great tasty, hearty, fruity breakfast that we all enjoy very much.
After brunch we went to NJ botanical garden in Ringwood.
And had my favorite spicy cold buckwheat noodles for dinner. So good….
I’m super excited about this year’s mother’s day because my Mom is here! She hasn’t been around this time of the year for a long time. So today, I’m making brunch for her and my mother-in-law this morning.
Rainbow pancakes
Frittata with peaches and cherries
Smoke salmon and frisee carpaccio
Happy mother’s day!
Our family was invited to a lovely dinner at our church friend’s house (who are also our family dentists). The food was delicious and the conversations were great.
Oh the food… the black cod dish was better than what fancy restaurants served. Not to mention the filet mignon, seared salmon, seaweed & cucumber salad, and green salad dressing were also excellent.
Wow, thank you so much Chan family for the a m a z i n g meal you prepared for us!
We drove nearly two hours to CT just so we can try this clam place.
Roasted clams
Wine and garlic mussels
Shrimp
Steamers

We had a lovely dinner right here in Teaneck. This great little hidden gem is one of my mom’s favorite restaurant. It has the cozy feel of a little Italian cafe and the Linguine Alla Vongole is our favorite by far.
Afterwards, we went to a movie theatre and watched “The Big Wedding”. I think it was our first time ever going to a movie together in the States.
Quinoa, Roasted Eggplant and Apple Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette
We are at the end of the process of selling our house and one of the things we will miss the most is this Japanese maple tree. Kids love to climb and hang on the tree. Chloe religiously hugs this tree before and after school. In fact, it’s the first thing they both run to when they get home from school.
Chloe’s sad…
We still have a couple of months until we move so we’ll be giving it many hugs before then…
Mother, jewelry designer and full-time graphic designer / Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu and this is a glimpse into my life's blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every milestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe and Shane - as they journey through their early years. And since the launch of my online jewelry site, CadenceLee.com, I have come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
