- Maxwell wanted to go fishing for his birthday so we got up early and went to Silver Lake. He caught 9 fish. It was a happy day.
- Weโre having my football team over for breakfast this weekend. On the menu, waffles with strawberries and whipped cream and plenty of bacon. This is the waffle maker we use.
- School starts on Wednesday for us so we are trying to fit in lots of fun right now. The summer went by too quickly.
- A good backpack for school.

- On the blog this week, a delicious zucchini recipe, a high protein breakfast or snack, and a super simple summer recipe!
- We had fun celebrating Maxwellโs birthday. He requested a chocolate chip version of this cake so I played around and it turned out great! I will post it on the blog soon!
- Cute casual dress. I also love this one!
- Tomatoes are SO good right now. I am currently loving everything caprese! Caprese salad, caprese sandwich, caprese garlic bread, and caprese orzo salad! I am starting to sound like Forrest Gump, ha!
- Love this dinnerware and flatware.
- Everyone has been talking about the show The Hunting Wives, so I tried an episode and it was a big no for me. I am thinking about rewatching The West Wing. Itโs a classic!
- Loaded grilled potatoes? Sign me up!
- A good striped shirt and I love these sneakers!
- End of the summer activities! I canโt believe this is our last week before school starts!
- Just Ingredients is having their big birthday sale. You can get 20% off AND free shipping with my code TWOPEAS. Check out my favorites here.
- Every Look from The Set of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Iโm excited for this sequel.
- This pajama set is SO soft. I love that you get pants and shorts!
I am not even sure how I stumbled onto your recipes but I am so happy I did. I needed more variety as my son and husband were starting to complain..haha I am not a great cook and appreciate that most of the recipes are easy and delicious. Thank you!

Hi Dawn, I am SO glad you found our site! Thanks for making our recipes.
You can never go wrong with a rewatch of West Wing. In my opinion, itโs the best television program ever made!
It is such a good show.
Came here to say this! And if youโve never watched The Newsroom (also Sorkin, also streaming on MAX, also wonderful!) follow WW with that for three bonus seasons of comfort watching:)
hey girl- great list! Cute clothes and yummy food! Love the pic of Maxwell- getting so big! Hope they have a fun first day of school. Have a blessed day Maria.
Thank you!!
Hi Maria,
Iโve been following you for quite some time now. I cannot find the reason for some of your strikethroughs on recommendations. Is there something significant about that?
Thanks.
I canโt figure it out eitherโฆha! It randomly adds it without my permission. I am looking into why. Sorry about that!
Ok, update! My tech person was able to figure it out. It was some issue with codingโฆsomething I donโt understand. It should be fixed from now on. No more strikethroughs! YAY!
I also tried the hunting wives and it was awfulโฆ. Too gross for me. I always love your this and that posts!
Yeah, I couldnโt watch! Thank you so much!
