It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for a NEW This and That. Today, we’re sharing what’s new on the blog, some fun finds, and what we’ve been up to! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or you just want to say hi, we love hearing from you! Have a fabulous day!

His

• We hiked Grandeur Peak and Twin Lakes this week. We’re trying to do at least one hike a week.
• A good electric toothbrush (I have it). Good price too.
• The boys want to see the new minion movie.
• Casual linen shorts.
• Summer dinner.
• Any plans for the 4th? We always go to our local parade and do a BBQ. No fireworks this year because of the fires in Utah.

Hers

• On the blog this week, a breakfast treat, a dessert for the 4th of July, and a new decadent cookie!
• A good everyday summer dress (it has pockets) and I love this tote.
• I have spent most of the week following all of the NBA changes. It’s an exciting time!
• These have been a game changer for my skin.
• I got this standing mat for our kitchen and it’s been so nice! My back and feet don’t hurt after long kitchen days.
• The Best Pasta Salad Recipes for Summer.
• Three new favorites, this top, this tank, and this sweater.
• Make a monthly 10 list. I love making lists so I am going to try this!

• Beautiful kitchen.

• What are you making for the 4th of July? If you need a festive dessert, here are a few favorites: Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza, Berry Icebox Cake, Blueberry Cobbler, and Strawberry Crisp. And this is a good appetizer and this is a good salad!
