- We had a fun 4th of July. We made a special breakfast and then spent the day in the mountains. It was nice to escape for a day.
- I built an outdoor pizza oven and have been tweaking it to get it just right. I fired it up this week and the pizza was awesome! I can’t wait to use it more this summer.
- I haven’t gotten a haircut since Covid hit and everyone has been saying I look like Wolverine. The boys love it. Maria…not so much, ha!
- Tracking the pandemic. I wish cases were falling instead of rising.
Hers
- New this week, two summer salads you HAVE to make! Which one will you try first, this one or this one?
- I need new shoes for working out at home. I have been doing a lot of HIIT type workouts and my current shoes are not cutting it. Any suggestions?
- Super cute summer dress. This one too!
- Gardening goodness!
- I mentioned the Billie razor last week and got lots of questions. It seriously is the best razor and I love that it gets shipped right to your door (you pick how often). You can also choose the color and the magic holder is genius.
- Love all of these flavors!
- 100 screen free activities to do with the kiddos!
- My kind of snack!
- Loving these kids plates for summer.
- Who’s watched Hamilton? Probably everyone but us..ha! It is on our to do list for this weekend:) I did start The Babysitters Club on Netflix. Caleb is watching it with me, but I think I am enjoying it more than he is.
- A good summer reading list!
- In love with this hoodie and dress! They both look super comfortable.
- Excited to make this! It’s TIME!
I highly recommend:
28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand
and ALL of her books!

Hi Maria,
I made your chocolate banana bread yesterday and shared with some of my neighbors who were soaking their toes in a baby pool ( since our community pool is still closed), and they raved about it!!! This will be my go to along with your Zucchini Lemon bread which is such a hit as well ! Happy summer.
Blessings,
Miriam
Yay! I am so glad the bread was a hit with your friend.
On Running shoes are AMAZING!!
Thank you!
hey y’all- great list! The boys are getting so big- love the pic! And that cake looks so yummy!!
Hello, in the Summer issue of The Pioneer Woman magazine, I noticed a mirror in your entryway on page 37…do you have a source for the mirror? Great article of your home!! Thank you!!
Thank you! It is from World Market but I don’t know if they have it anymore. They might have something similar.
Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch was a great Summer read.
LOVED that book! And fun fact, Jenna lives close to me:) She is fabulous and has a new book coming out this fall.
I made your chocolate chip zucchini bread as muffins a couple of weeks ago to take to my sister’s. My 4 year old niece LOVED it and requested I make it for her birthday every time she ate one. Her birthday is not until January! Good thing I stocked some zucchini in the freezer!
Yay! I am so glad you loved the recipe!
Love the wolverine comparison! My brothers hair has grown out really thick and curly so he likes the additional “height”. Even though he looks like a mad scientist. Thanks for the list of summer reads!
Shoes… hmmm. Depends on whether you like more cushion or less. Ideally you want a crossover type shoe that allows for more lateral movement. I prefer less cushion and really like some of the inov8 shoes. The New Balance Minimus Trail 10v1 are probably my overall favorite – I’ve owned probably 6 or 7 pairs.
Thank you!
I love my Reebok nanos for the HIIT training that I do!! Many people at my gym also rave about the New Balance Minimus 20v7’s.
Thanks for sharing!
