- We went to Rockwell to try Maria’s Cadbury cookie flavor. Good stuff! I also recommend the salted caramel and honeycomb.
- We are in full baseball mode now. We have games almost every day of the week since both boys are playing. It’s a fun time of year.
- The boys want to see the new Minecraft movie. Has anyone seen it yet?
- Sunday is the last day of ski season. We are going to go up for a few final runs.

- On the blog this week, one of our favorite side dishes, my new favorite salad, and another delicious side!
- If you still need Easter recipe ideas, get my ultimate Easter menu HERE!
- Cute cover up, top and shorts. And I always love a good sweatshirt.
- New spring items at Trader Joe’s.
- I love Babs!
- Sale items I am loving: this dress, these shorts (I sized down), this top, and this dress.
- I hope you are all making these this week! And you should probably make these too:)
- Pretty top!
- The best new hotels of 2025.
- I want to try these no-bake cheesecakes!
- Just curious, do you use Pinterest?
- The boys said they didn’t want to do an egg hunt this year, just Easter baskets. I am a little sad. I might hide some anyways. If they won’t find them, I will…ha!
- The Warriors are in the playoffs! I can’t wait to watch their first game on Sunday!
Does the Easter Bunny hide the Easter baskets at your house, Maria? Our twenty something daughters still talk about all the outrageous places where they found their Easter baskets each year. Such a fun tradition~ Happy Easter!
Yes! So fun! The boys still want to do baskets, they just said an egg hunt isn’t necessary. They are getting too big:)
Maria, I have been following you for a long while now. My day off is on Thursday, and one of the things I look forward to is reading This and That…I enjoy your recipes and use many of them weekly. I always enjoy your fashion shares…as I don’t have much time to give that much thought. You make it easy for me..
Thank you for your work and inspirations.

Hi Sherry, I am so glad you love our This and That posts. Sometimes I wonder if people care about these posts…ha! We have fun writing them so thank you for the feedback! We appreciate you tuning in every Thursday!
hey girl- Great list! Yummy food and cute clothes. I am on team Pinterest! Y’all have a blessed Easter.
Thank you! Happy Easter to you!
I do still use Pinterest though I can sporadic about it. My IG account basically replaced it for awhile. I do use it mostly for recipes and meal planning. Happy Easter!
It is great for recipes!
I love Pinterest! And these Thursday emails thanks for taking the time to put all of the information together-I enjoy seeing what you find! Happy Easter!
Thank you!
No I don’t use Pinterest. I save my recipes to the Paprika app that I bought when it was first introduced. Best $4.99 I ever spent on an app. Maybe I don’t know how to really use the app but Pinterest and I never clicked. I use instagram features to save posts that are of interest to me.
Thank you for your terrific posts, suggestions and of course your delicious recipes. Your posts are-my favorite way to start my day. I have a wonderful Easter
Thank you! I will check out that app! Happy Easter!
