1. This is how Caleb and I mow the lawn.
2. These sprinklers are going to be the death of me!
3. Have you seen this clip from the Jay Leno show? It is great. I just love them.
4. Maria got me the best birthday present ever!

1. I had a wonderful Mother’s Day with my guys. They made me waffles for breakfast, gave me a sweet card, and made me dinner. It was a relaxing day! They also bought me raspberry bushes instead of flowers. I hope I don’t kill them:)
2. What are your favorite running and fitness apps? I am currently loving the Nike+ Running App. It tracks my miles, maps my runs, and tells me my pace while I am running. It is free too! I am not training for a race. I don’t have a competitive bone in my body so races aren’t my thing. I am just training for a healthy life!
3. I stumbled upon this blog a few days ago and it’s a new favorite. Check it out!
4. Our driveway is lined with lilacs, which is one of the reasons we bought our house. True story. Lilacs are my favorite. Caleb and I cut fresh lilacs every day to bring into the house. I can’t get enough.
5. I want a big scoop of this ice cream!
6. So You Think You Can Dance started this week! I used to watch it with my girlfriends every week before I was married. It was fun because we were all into the show. Josh isn’t that into the show. Ok, he really doesn’t like it at all, but I plan on watching it anyways. Hopefully he will learn to love it! If not, anyone want to watch with me? I will bake cookies:)
7. This cake will take your breath away!
8. Josh does the laundry, but I fold it. It’s a good system…until Caleb comes along and rips apart my piles of folded laundry. He runs around in circles yelling, piles! When I turn around he makes his move and destroys my laundry piles. He thinks he is so funny! He’s lucky he is so stinking cute:)
9. I love this spring dinner party.
10. I don’t wear heels…and no it’s not because Josh is somewhat short:) He always tells me to wear heels, but I am not a fan. They hurt my feet and why risk spraining an ankle. I would rather be comfortable. Flats are my style. I want a pair of these flats in every color.
11. Don’t forget to check out our kitchen sale on Wayfair! Lots of good deals on really fun kitchen stuff!
Have you considered planting something more natural and local to your environment than resource-sucking traditional grass? It’s consumes a ton of water, and you get no real benefit from it. It solves your mowing problem and your sprinkler problem. Maybe start small with just part of the yard. It’s unconventional, but something worth pondering.
OMG I have a hard enough time mowing the lawn on my own with no baby and no mask – how does he do that?! You’re so lucky he does that for you 🙂
Those lilacs are SO pretty! I love So You Think You Can Dance too. Such a guilty pleasure 🙂 Have a good weekend!
Those flowers are gorgeous!! I want some! I also want the ice cream!! Oh it looks awesome!
I so look forward to your Thursday blog! For the record, you cannot kill a raspberry bush! Just make sure each year you cut it down to almost the ground and it will grow bigger and bigger each year. it also spreads, alot! I have to pull raspberry shoots out of my grass on a regular basis!
Thanks for the tips!
Enjoy the berry plants, but remember you won’t really harvest anything this year. I live in SW Ohio and we have black raspberry plants in our yard. My husbands tends them, and I make the pies. You’ll love having your own fruit!
I know I will have to wait for the fruit! Still excited to have them!
Why is Josh wearing a protective mask and Caleb not?
Josh has severe asthma and allergies.
I must say you and your sweet hubby and darling son make for some happy reading, always! (Just now have the morning news on t.v….a bit depressing!)
Thanks for your awesome, just awesome blog! Woot Woot!
I love your this and that stories.
Nike running is probably one of my favorites, but I also like Zombie Run! It’s a collection of stories that place you in the story and they cheer you on to run and escape the zombies. Sounds silly (and is) but it’s a fun spin on the usual listening of just music.
Loved the deals on Wayfair! I just purchased a Vitamix…best price I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait for smoothies everyday now.
I’ve been stalking Tieks too… But I’m nervous to pull the trigger on $250+ shoes, that I can’t try on 1st. I have a feeling I will break down soon. 🙂 If you buy, pls post your thoughts! I have a few pairs of Maria Sharapova flats by Cole Haan, which are soooooo comfy and look great w/everything. On Piperlime, check them out!
This morning while I was getting ready for work, I was mindlessly thinking to myself. I thought “What day is it today? Thursday…? Yes, it’s Thursday… that means there is a new This and That today…” And then I kind of laughed that the first thing I thought of when I realized it’s Thursday was This and That. Needless to say, I enjoy them!
Wowzers $250 for shoes! Hope they are comfy! Yum on the ice cream. Saw a post on roasting strawberries this week – but putting them inside ice cream is even better!
I look forward to these posts every single time! I love the lilacs! I grew up with them in my back yard in Maryland when I was growing up and loved their fragrance. Have a great weekend! xo 🙂
Love this 🙂 Every thing about it 🙂
Hurray for no heels! They look beautiful, but wearing them hasn’t been worth it, with all the cute flats available. And I like MapMyRun, even though it misled me during a recent half marathon 🙁
Wow – thank you so much for linking to my cake. I’m honored!! 🙂
Excited to follow along with your raspberry bush! I have always wanted one of those. And those Tieks look amazing!!
Lilacs are my favorite too and I would 100% buy a house solely for that reason!!
Love my Tieks! You need to get them, you’ll never take them off!
I need a pair! Ok, I need them all:)
