- We started football practice this week. It’s been pretty hot, but the kids are working hard. I am excited for the season.
- I give Happy Gilmore 2 two thumbs up. All of the cameos were great.
- It’s the last day of July. Man, this summer is flying by.
- Maxwell turns 11 on Tuesday and we can’t wait to celebrate him.

- On the blog this week, a summer breakfast treat, a gorgeous salad, and a delicious dinner.
- My current snack obsession-plain Greek yogurt, peaches, granola, and a little Seven Sundays maple cinnamon cereal. SO good!
- Yes to this dress and this top.
- I am watching The Summer I Turned Pretty (this season is just ok for me), but I need another show to watch. Any suggestions?
- These shorts are so comfortable and come in lots of colors. I love the matching top too.
- I know school is right around the corner, but I am not ready for all of the Halloween decor. Too soon for me. I am still in summer mode.
- There will never be another Clueless. I watched this movie a million times in junior high and I still love it.
- The perfect fall jacket. Order now before it sells out!
- I love creating recipes during the summertime because the produce is so good! Stay tuned for some really good recipes. It’s been a good week in the kitchen.
- Darling denim dress and top!
- Adult friendships.
- Check out my new ShopMy page! I update it frequently and you can always search the most popular section or create a wishlist that will save items for later. Just heart the item you love!
$98 for a pair of shorts is crazy… thumbs down. Otherwise – new to your site and loving it so far. Have to take what I like and leave the rest.
I try to share different price ranges. I am glad you found our site! Thanks for following along!
Untamed (Netflix) was so good! Takes place in Yosemite – which is up your way a bit. All of the Bosch and Bosch Legacy series are great (if you like LA cop shows. Then Ballard is a really good spinoff with a female role LA detective.
BTW – my daughter is becoming an expert with your blueberry lemon cake recipe! She was even asked to make it for a friend’s wife’s birthday:)
Thanks for the recommendations! I am so glad your daughter loves the cake.
Happy Birthday to Maxwell on Tuesday!
I’ll bet he has a special birthday meal all picked out for his celebration.
And bring on the summer produce recipes!
Thank you! He is still debating on what he wants…too many choices, ha!
hey girl- Such a great list! Can’t believe Maxwell is going to be 11. Happy Birthday little guy! Cute clothe and yummy food. I have been watching Murder She Wrote from back in the day- Oh so good! Have a blessed day!
Thanks so much!!
So look forward to Thursdays for your This and That. It has something for everyone.
Love your recipes also and have tried several but always forget to take photos and post.
I recently started watching North of North on Netflix. I am liking it a lot. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 100%
