  1. I love reading your “this and that” updates! Every Thursday I know to check in and see what fun stuff you’ve found or recommend! Yes, I am still watching Grey’s- although often feel I am the only one left! Love the nordstom top!

  2. I have so many things on this week’s This and That!
    1. I had been waiting on the Cookies & Cups bakery post after all of her insta stories. It did not disappoint! There could never be too many cookie posts!
    2. So excited for your cookbook!
    3. I have all of the ingredients for that salted chocolate peanut butter tart so I probably just better go ahead and make it. Looks ah-mazing!
    4. I also still watch Grey’s! I am behind a couple of episodes, though… 🙁

  3. So happy you are doing a cookbook!! I love lilacs, too! Our family had a beautiful lilac bush in our yard in the Chicago area where I grew up. I used to bring my teachers lilacs when I was a little girl from the tree.

  4. I had a jumpsuit 10+ years ago. It was really cute on and I liked it, but I didn’t love having to get all the way undressed to go to the potty. It’s something I hadn’t planned for! LOL

  5. We share the same love for #9 on you list.  My 14 year old daughter and I are huge fans of these programs… I feel we all are fast friends 🙂 

  6. Love this post! Will be making your amazing pasta salad for our very next potluck and cannot wait for your cookbook!! As for vacation tips – we are all about a CRUISE! Our baby is a sweet little feline so I can’t speak as a parent on the family-friendly aspect but my little cousins have had a blast on each and every family cruise we’ve taken. In a few weeks we are scheduled for our very first couple vacay since our honeymoon (almost 8 years ago). We are SO excited!! Bahamas, look out – and I highly recommend it for you all as well. Thank you for sharing such great ideas and your sweet family with us! <3
