His

• We went fly fishing on the Weber river and Maxwell caught a big fish.

• Chicken nugget taste test.
• Jeans and a hoodie.
• Burger bowls, we make these a lot.

Hers

• On the blog this week, a simple summer recipe, a chicken dinner winner, and my new favorite salad.
• My dahlias are starting to bloom. YAY!
• Do you use a slow cooker? I don’t very often, but maybe I should dust it off for this fall and winter.
• This color…YES!
• I love the fit of these dressy jeans, they are comfortable too! Wear with this jacket for fall!
• We’ve had a few good thunderstorms lately. I grew up in the midwest so they always remind me of home.
• America’s best small towns.
• I am getting back into the habit of meal planning, prepping, and sometimes making dinner at lunchtime because our schedules are crazy with school and baseball season.
• I can’t stop making this recipe.
• Halloween things…one, two, three!
• Cute affordable cardigan (love this one too). A great top and this tee is only $3! Great for layering!
• This is a cool cake.
• The most popular grocery store in every state. What is your favorite grocery store?
• Love the collar on this sweater..and the pants are so fun!
• Albion gave me a special discount code for 25% off all full price items. Use code LD25MARIA, it is good until September 7. A few of my favorites include: trousers, jacket, pants, and swimsuit.
• Up to 25% off Nutrafol, plus free gifts with a subscription. I’ve been taking this for awhile and it’s really helped my overall hair health.
• I made a loaf and put slices in the freezer. So good toasted with butter!
