Another Monday is here, the weekend goes by SO fast!
This Monday is extra awesome, I have a doctor appointment to hear Baby G’s heartbeat again and just for a regular monthly checkup! This week I will be 17 weeks! Time is flying!
Lots of Marvelous things over the weekend, including a date night, workouts outside, and new food finds!
Marvelous to get all dolled up for a dinner date out with Mike 
Oh the turd bun is dolled up for me, pregnancy does that to you and my roots need done! I have a hair appt tomorrow luckily!
Marvelous was dinner at Juniper Grill, we really love it there and we love it SO much we are going there again tonight with friends, haha!
Nachos with salsa and guacamole to start, always a good choice!
For my entree I got a chicken salad with avocado, dates, goat cheese, corn and tomatoes! Was delicious! I got sesame dressing on the side, went good with it!
Mike ordered chicken enchiladas for his meal, he loved every single bite! He loves his mexican food, as do I!
Marvelous was going to Target after to pick up some things we needed and didn’t need, of course target does that to you 
New almonds, hello love!
New Nature Valley bars, delicious they are!
Marvelous was getting my cardio workout outside again since it was in the upper 60′s again on Sunday! Boo that today it is back to cold, but I enjoyed it while it lasted!
Marvelous is this sandwich combo……flat out pretzel sandwich, turkey, pepper jack cheese, spinach, and chunky greek guacamole!
Marvelous is the scent of vanilla cupcake in our house, thanks mom for this awesome plug in!
Marvelous is that the christmas tree and all christmas decor is finally down! Only took us a year, lol.
Marvelous is poop on your face, haha, well a mask that looks like poop!
Marvelous is this list that I love…

You, your turd bun & baby bump look adorable!
Haha! Thanks girl!
Happy Monday!!
I remember always being so excited before each doctor’s appt, when I was pregnant. Hope all goes great! Looks like a wonderful weekend. Love Mexican food too! Happy Monday and thanks for hosting, as always!
Yay for your appointment today!
You look super cute! I love your scarf!
Those almonds look yummy. I might need to pick those up. Happy Monday love!
Those almonds would be delicious! Love that pic of you and your facial! So happy you got to hear your babes heartbeat again
Love you, miss
How exciting! Hearing your baby’s heartbeat…wow must be so amazing! You look absolutely marvelous..glowing, in fact
. I’d like to try that face mask…and perhaps scare Tim hehe. I’ve never tried those coffee almonds but they immediately caught my attention. Off to school I go…bright and early. Hope you have a marvelous Monday!!
Dinner looks AMAZING! I wish we had better fresh options around here. Whenever I want Mexican food, it comes out dripping in grease. I wish they realized there were more healthy options that people would like.
Loving the baby bump. Almost makes me want to get one. *Almost* Have a great Monday!
so glad there is no poop on your face. LOL
and yea for warm weather. well, for now.
Haha! Love you!
That sandwich looks amazing! Happy marvelous Monday friend!
The Juniper Grill sounds awesome! Mike’e enchiladas look sooo good, i love Mexican food! Good luck w/Baby G’s appointment today!
Pumpkin butter is probably my favorite from that list!!
Yay for doctor appointment and hairdresser!! The weekend sounds really marvelous. And I LOVE the simple rules for happiness!!
Happy Monday Katie! I love that list of 5 rules for happiness. I’m going to have to remember that always. Coffee mocha almonds sound amazing. Can’t wait to hear what you think of them!
THOSE ALMONDS! My mom gave us some cocoa almonds in our stockings this year but MOCHA ones?! OH my!
I love mexican!!! P.s. if you are doing your trader joe’s shopping soon you must pick up their guacamole hummus it is delicious!!
Our tree came down Saturday so I’m right there with ya! I’m beyond behind on pretty much everything in my life so I don’t have a post up for today, but I’m love how big MIMM is getting!
oh man chips and salsa, what a great night! Glad you were able to enjoy the time with your family
Ah! I need to get my hands on some pretzel rolls. And I love your poop mask… It looks very relaxing. Haha
.
That salad looks/sounds absolutely fantastic… might have to attempt a copy cat recipe tonight! & I love that last list. This is why I love reading blogs, reminding me of positive things like this.
Looks like a fab weekend though. Happy Monday
What, coffee almonds? They sound delicious! I hope you have a great appointment today.
Ooo! I’m so excited for your hair appointment! You’re inspiring me to get my hair styled as well – I’ve been rocking the “turd bun” because of the humid weather haha! Also, what’s your poop face scrub? I’ve been looking for a good one
I am so excited, roots need done like whoa!
I used this scrub, it rocks even though it looks like poop! Ha! http://www.pangeaorganics.com/product/mask-featured-home_page-japanese_matcha_tea-acai-goji_berry-all_skin_types-skincare-oily-acne-blemish-acne_prone-blemish_prone-dry-mature-combination-normal-sensitive-rosacea-anti_aging-antioxidant-anti_inflammatory-vegan-gluten_free-t_zone/japanese-matcha-tea-with-acai-and-goji-berry_1
When my hair was long, I rocked that bun all the time. Part of the reason I cut my hair, but now I’m growing it long again so the bun shall return!
LOL OMG THE POOP. You kill me. Hilarious. Umm thanks for reminding me that I need to try the pretzel Flat Outs ASAP. I forgot about them!
Marvelous is reading this MIMM post!! Love you to pieces! I hope your doctor’s appointment goes well today! I can’t believe you’re already at 17 weeks!
Your flatout sandwich looks uh-maazing! I may need to make something similar for lunch today because I’m swooning over here.
Happy Monday, love! xoxo
Turd bun or not, you still look fab!
So nice that you guys had nice weather, it was pretty foggy here lol
oooh man! I need to try those almonds!
Those almonds looks so good! Nothing like a little boost in heat, we’re back to potential snow here this week…
Wow, this post is making me hungry! Except maybe for the poop part…
Happy Monday Katie!
lol!! Happy Monday Kim!
I love the simple rules of happiness. I totally needed that today. Have a marvelous Monday Katie!
You too love!
So happy for you to go to your appointment and hear the heartbeat again! Those almond looks awesome! I’ve been so addicted to them lately! And mocha almonds, you know I’d be all over that one. I love those simple rules to happiness. True!
Mmmm Salsa! I have a hollow leg when it comes to chips and salsa. Usually I eat so much that I am full when my meal comes…woops.
Ditto! Lol!
I hope you had a marvelous appointment today
Date nights and outdoor workouts are definitely marvelous- I loved running outside yesterday, so much better than on a dreadmill! And yum to your sandwich, I loveee TJ’s guac [with Greek yogurt and with hummus]!
Aw, how fun to hear your little one’s heartbeat. That’s got to be so incredibly special.
I love me some good Mexican food, too! That restaurant looks fab – I can tell just by the fact that they serve multiple kinds of salsa with their chips. I’m a huge salsa fan! 
GIRL you ROCK the turd bun! You rock any hair style, clothing style, you are just beautiful always inside and out<3
Sounds like you had a great weekend! A mixture of going out and staying in and relaxing is always an ideal great weekend in my book
oh and ps that is like my dream salad (the one you go at Juniper grill)! :]love you!
Haha! You are so sweet, thank you! I am glad I do since it will be around for a while
Hope you are well! Love you!
So many things to say!
1. Those Nature Valley bars are the BOMB.
Kids are the best<3 I'm a nanny and am head over heels for my girls. I cannot get enough of them.
2. I know I’m way behind, but congratulations on the pregnancy!
3. Your dinner looks insane. Just texted my boyfriend and told him we need to go out for Mexican food soon, simply so I can have some guacamole.
4. Those almonds are now on my Target list for tomorrow.
Yes they are!
Thank you so much! We are so excited!!
Yes, get some mexican food stat! Always a good choice
