  1. I always read your This and that posts, but especially love this one. Love the links to parenting tips, summer activities, and Love Loft and Trader Joe’s! I haven’t commented on it yet, but I did buy your cookbook. Beautiful pictures, so many great recipes using fresh produce, and can I say the Cookie section is my favorite? More cookbooks should devote a section to cookies!

    1. Thanks for your sweet comment. I am so glad you are enjoying our weekly posts. Thanks for buying our cookbook. We really appreciate the support!

  2. I am a one-book or one-show at a time person. Not sure why, but I really just enjoy diving into one completely before moving on to the next! Really looking forward to “The Baby-Sitters Club” next week!

  3. Such a stylish, handsome family you have. I am guessing the picture is from Father’s Day?
    Josh…what child would NOT want one of those playhouses? I think you need to get building ,ASAP!
    Finally, I would love for you to tackle a recipe for corn cookies. I have not tried the TJ’s offering but I am guessing they are shortbread like. Cornbread is my all time favorite go to carb so cornbread in a cookie version could be a very dangerous thing …but one I am willing to take the risk.

    1. Yes, Father’s Day weekend! Cornbread is so good. I think I will have to try a corn cookie!

  4. Maria your family is darling! And I am going to purchase that outdoor movie projector for my grandkids. What a great idea and price!
    FYI… Christina Tosi’s corn cookie recipe is THE BEST!

  5. Hi Maria,

    I definitely read one book at a time., but I watch two shows at a time. I like to have a half hour comedy that I is easy and funny as well as a drama series. So, if things get too intense in the drama, I can switch over to the comedy for a laugh.

  6. I love your family picture! I read one book at a time and do one tv at a time though mostly just watch when then are on tv. Trader Joe’s list looks so good thanks for sharing.

  7. I’ve made cornmeal shortbread cookies before with a tiny bit of sugar and they are SO GOOD.

    Also, I was never one to read more than a single book at a time, but I finally came to the conclusion that hauling a giant hardback to the gym and trying to hold it open on the stair machine is too much trouble. So if I end up with a bulky library book, I’ll save that one for home and get another one going on my Kindle for the gym.

  8. Hello,
    I saw a picture of your laundry room sink in Pioneer women magazine . I love it!

    Who was the manufacture of the sink?

    I would be so grateful if you would send me a quick email with the information

    Thank you Maria!
