Now that the weather is getting warmer I’ve become such a jumpsuit girl! I’ve always been a fan of these styles and we can go back to prove it! Check out this floral romper from 2010! There was also this blue playsuit I wore a few weeks ago. Jumpsuits are a fun style though and I love wearing them as a dress alternative for a night out. I’ll be real and tell ya they’re not the most fun to go to the bathroom in, but for me it’s worth it! They make such a statement and have a put-together polished look, without seeming like you tried to hard!
I am so excited that it’s finally Easter weekend! This girl is going to indulge in lots o’ sweets on Sunday. I even have a countdown going. Still not exactly sure what I’m going to bake so if you have any suggestions let me know! Whatever it is, it must be good because my sweet tooth is craving something incredible after being deprived for 2 months! What are you up to this weekend?
Happy Sunday friends! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! Today our big job is to do some planting in the backyard. We got a few vining plants that we want to get into the ground. We’ve had a lot of rain and wind this week and I think they’ll do much better when planted. I’m so happy that many of my little seedlings are taking off too! It’s so encouraging because last year I didn’t have the best luck with gardening.
Here’s a little recap of our week:
WHAT WE ATE
my plan is to share the meals I made the previous week, with links if possible, as some inspiration for your own menu planning.
MONDAY- Broccoli Beef
TUESDAY- Salmon Larb Bowls with Coconut Rice- definitely want to make this again. The coconut rice was especially delicious!
For our special Sunday breakfast, I made these Currant Cottage Cheese Pancakes which are always perfectly fluffy and delicious!
WHAT I WORE
I’ve been loving this nursing-friendly jumpsuit this week. It’s so pretty with the pointelle pattern. You can size down because it does have a little stretch. I love it paired with denim jackets or comfy cardigans.
SALES TO NOTE
GAP– 50% off shorts, tops and dresses, plus an extra 20% off regular price styles with code PERK- A great opportunity to pick up any warm weather staples.
Matthew and I celebrated 12 years married this weekend! Can you believe it?! It seems like just yesterday I was sharing our Wedding Wednesday posts, with all the wedding DIY prep we were doing. We celebrated with a sushi date lunch, a coffee shop outing, and then I made a chocolate cake for dessert. If you need a good go-t0 chocolate cake, I love Ina’s recipe!
If you’re looking for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift, how beautiful are these earrings? They’re so stunning and such a great price too!
I posted a bunch to my Poshmark last week FYI. Lots of nice jewelry too!
This week is super busy with baseball practices and games, ballet class, and recital practice. It was actually challenging to menu plan because a lot of our commitments are in the evenings. I’m going to default to some crock-pot recipes and prep what I can the night before.
I finished reading (and thoroughly enjoyed) Habits of the Household. It gave me so many great ideas of rhythms to include in our family routines. I requested it from the library but it might be one that I purchase because I want Matthew to read it too. It would be a great book to go through as a couple. My current book is The Mission of Motherhood which I’ve heard amazing things about!
One crazy thing about these weekly posts is that the time speeds up so much between them. This week went by very fast and I felt like I wasn’t as present on social media. Sometimes I get out of the habit of posting because life right now is so busy. While I used to feel bad about that, I’ve really tried to remove that pressure from myself and instead show up genuinely and authentically. I appreciate you following along over on Instagram, even with the slower weeks!
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!
