- There were lots of storms this week, but unfortunately Utah didn’t get any snow. We really need snow!
- We always love seeing the Warriors when they come to town. Gary Payton II is such a good dude.
- The Super Bowl is set, Patriots vs. Seahawks. I am hoping for a good game.
- Why you should talk to strangers. I’m always starting a conversation with someone I don’t know.
- A good hoodie.

- On the blog this week, a healthy breakfast or snack, a satisfying soup, and a hearty chili.
- The Warriors were in town this week. I made GP2 his favorite cookies and we went to the game last night. Steph signed his Olympic jersey for us. I am defiantly getting it framed. I wore my new sweatshirt…I love it! Such a fun week!
- How to nourish your friendships without going out.
- This sweatshirt and sweatpants…such a good set!
- There’s a new season of Shrinking out! I can’t wait to watch!
- I love this blue…and this one!
- Do you like grocery shopping? I actually love it, but it takes me forever because I like to walk down every aisle and look at everything. So Josh usually does most of the shopping, he gets in and gets out. But when I do go, I spend my sweet little time and enjoy every second:)
- I started adding these to my smoothies for extra fiber. They are flavorless. Also, sitting by the fire while drinking my smoothie is my favorite morning ritual right now.
- Yes to this dress!
- The prettiest cake.
- This is a must for winter. I also keep these in my purse.
- February is right around the corner. It’s always been one of my favorite months…my birthday, my dad’s birthday, the Super Bowl, All-Star weekend, and Valentine’s Day! Lots to celebrate!
- Striped rugby sweatshirt and striped sweater. You know I love stripes:)
- A forever favorite!
Hey girl- Great list! Such cool stuff! Yummy food and cute clothes! Love your hair Maria- nice cut! Cute pic of the boys- oh so happy. Thanks for all the recommendations! Have a blessed day!
Thank you Shawnna!
Awesome photos with you and GP2 with your gourmet cookies and with Caleb & Maxwell! If you frame his signed Olympic jersey, maybe you could frame your photo with the cookies too- so iconic!
Good late morning Maria
Wishing the boys more snow. ❄️ Thank you for all the work you do. It is truly amazing and appreciated for us. Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend. 😊
