It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for a NEW This and That. Today, we’re sharing what’s new on the blog, some fun finds, and what we’ve been up to! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or you just want to say hi, we love hearing from you! Have a fabulous day!

His

• Our football game was cancelled last Saturday because of thunderstorms. It rained for over 24 hours straight. I’ve never seen that much rain in Utah. We also got some snow at the top of the mountains.
• Maxwell had his last baseball game this week. He had fun playing fall ball.
• We’ve been watching a lot of sports: playoff baseball, NFL, college football, and some preseason NBA.
• The boys have been playing this toy nonstop. It’s harder than it looks.
• I made this for dinner and the leftovers were even better.

Hers

• On the blog this week, a healthy fall smoothie, one of my favorite easy meals, and an amazing pumpkin recipe.
• My dahlias are thriving right now. I am picking little bouquets ever day.
• The best jeans I’ve ever worn. That is a bold statement, but they are perfect in every way. I’m also loving this tee. The quality is top notch.
• I attended a farm to table dinner at Ballerina Farm. It was a fun night.
• NBA preseason is in full swing and that makes me VERY happy!
• Loving this jacket, cardigan, and dress.
• Season 3 of The Diplomat comes out next week. If you haven’t watched, start now! It’s such a good show.
• 50% off button-up top and boots (they’re even better in person).
• Craving this soup!
• The cutest holiday pjs. Yes, it’s a little early, but the good ones always sell out! These are SO soft!
• Take the stress out of family dinners. Great tips! Also, make sure you are signed up for my newsletter, I send out a weekly meal plan every Saturday!
• The nail color I’m wearing this fall.
• Candy corn. Yes or no?
• My kind of dinner.
• I just got this coat and I am ready for winter! It is SO warm and comes in lots of colors.
