I’m Alive + 3 Generations of Women

Home, Living


Has it really been a week? Would you believe me if I said I haven’t been on the computer since my last post? It’s true I swear! Luckily I had my iPhone but it’s not as conducive to blogging. As I said last week my Grandma was in town so besides lending her my room there was a lot of entertaining going on…{I finally got caught up on the last two weeks of The Bachelor and LOST!} My Grandma lives on the East Coast and so during her visit my mom really wanted to plan a trip for the three of us. 30 years ago my Grandma drove my Mom across the country when she moved to California so it meant a lot to them. And it was so much fun for me to spend quality time with them both. We went to Santa Barbara and had such a great time! The weather couldn’t have been nicer and the hotel was right across from the water!



{They just saw a bird fly into the restaurant.. isn’t my Grandma’s sweater so stylish?}
Ok, so let’s get this blog back to normal! And welcome to my new followers..sorry I’ve been MIA! Look forward to some fun posts this week though! Sigh I’m dying to catch up on everything!

Intro

Welcome to M Loves M! My name is Mara and I created this lifestyle site in 2009 as a place to share my love of fashion, beauty, food and entertaining. I moved from Southern California to Idaho and love adventuring with my husband Matthew, our two children, and our dog Ginger. We're also pregnant with baby #3, due this autumn! I strive to create a site that’s relatable to women, while also being inspirational. I’m so glad you stopped by!
