- We did a big hike this week. We hiked to the top of Pfeifferhorn. It’s about an 11 mile hike with a 4,000 feet elevation gain. The boys did so awesome. It was hard, but worth it.
- I’m watching the new season of Quarterback on Netflix.
- Has anyone seen The Odyssey?
- This is pretty cool.
- It’s a good time to make these.

- On the blog this week, a flavorful dinner, a great summer side dish, and a one-pan meal.
- I picked some tomatoes from my garden this week. I made this recipe, the best!
- I finished The Bear and the final season was so good! No spoilers here, but I love how they tied up all of the story lines. I am sad it’s over. There is a new season of Ransom Canyon out today. I will probably start that next.
- A good classic dress. You can’t go wrong with brown or black.
- All of these countryside destinations look dreamy.
- The Nordstrom sale is still happening, shop my favorites!
- I might have to take a break from my classic homemade granola to try this summer version.
- This jacket will sell out. I better order it now!
- I want a baker’s kitchen. These are dreamy!
- I’m a sucker for stripes. I love the colors in this cardigan too! It’s so soft!
- Has anyone tried this viral peanut butter? I LOVE peanut butter so I should probably try it.
- Salty and crunchy kettle chips on a sandwich…YES!
- A good summer button down. I like this one too.
- I am making this on repeat. Anyone else?
- Wayfair is having a Black Friday in July sale! I love these kitchen stools, this chair, this big vase, and this charcuterie board with a lid! Perfect for taking to parties!
Love the hiking photo! I have not watched The Bear but now I’m going to have to find it. And your flowers are gorgeous- are those Echinacea?
Thanks! The Bear is on Hulu. The flowers are cornflowers.
