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

• I am adjusting to life in a cast. It’s not fun, but doable.
• We don’t have any baseball this weekend because of the holiday. Are there any good movies out?
• The boys have been sleeping on the same mattresses since they were little so we recently got them an upgrade. We got them Helix mattresses and they love them. Heads up, they’re 25% off right now with code MEMDAY25. You can take a sleep quiz to make sure you get the right fit. New sheets and bedding too. They still like sharing a room and I hope they do until they move out. It’s good for them.
• If you are having a BBQ this weekend, make these or these!

Hers

• Summer hosting mistakes to avoid.

• We don’t have big plans for the long weekend…and I am really excited about that! No plans are sometimes my favorite plans! I do want to get a watermelon so I can make this salad and these cookies are a must for kicking off summertime!
