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

• The boys started school yesterday. 7th grade and a freshman in high school.
• We started fall baseball this week. I am coaching Maxwell’s team. Should be a fun season.
• We saw the new Spiderman movie, we liked it.
• Nice sweater.
• Some good back to school dinners for you.

Hers

• On the blog this week, a delicious breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep, a family favorite dinner, and a fun no-bake treat.
• Our summer break is over and that makes me sad, but I am a little excited to get back to a routine…and school supplies still make me happy:)
• I watched Sterling Point and really liked it…and now I want to go to Canada and live in a lake house.
• Happy pants are on sale! All jeans are on sale through Friday.
• Our peach trees were affected by a spring frost and we have ZERO peaches this year. I am so sad. I am still buying them because there are too many recipes I want to make. A few favorites: tomato peach burrata salad (pictured above), peach cobbler, bruschetta, peach scones, peach galette, and peach baked oatmeal.
• Comfortable and chic trousers. I love this skort and sports bra too.
• My favorite duvet cover paired with these sheets. I also love this bed and these nightstands.
• Your ideal getaway, based on your zodiac sign. I got San Francisco and I am ok with that:)
• Fall jackets I am loving: one, two, three!
• Peanut butter iced lattes. Wow!
• How to revive tired tomato plants in late summer.
• The NBA schedule comes out today!
• $15 flats and these pants are on sale too! I love the brown for fall.
• My last haircut was in January…but today is the day! I will probably just get a trim because I am actually liking it long.
