Marvelous outfit of the weekend, my going out outfit for my sisters birthday dinner. I am happy I am still able to look cute and feel ok to dress up, talk to me when I am 8 months and I am sure that will be a different story! Haha!

You have such a lovely family, and I know how much they mean to you so I have no doubt that you had a marvelous family!! Your baby bump is so adorable!! Happy birthday and Congratulations to your sister! It’s so awesome that you guys are pregnant at the same time! I remember when my sister was pregnant last year, all I wanted was to experience it with her together. I quickly learned that I have no control of anything…I must trust in God’s perfect timing…Man…the HLB summit seems like so long ago..how I cherished those intimate and personal conversations we shared. I’m so happy for you, my dearest! Hope you have a Marvelous Monday! I am working on MIMM right now hehe.

Oh hey there IS a baby in there! ;)

I couldn’t find where you said you guys went for dinner…but it looks like Olive Garden to me! ;) Love their zupa tusana soup with salad! I also especially LOVE the peppers in the salad. I try to steal all of them out of the bowl when we go.

Happy Monday and thanks for the link-up friend! <3

I absolutely love your outfit! That pink sweater and the bracelet are adorable. I am loving the shoes, too!

Olive Garden salad and bread sticks are amazing. I could seriously go there and just eat those two things. I haven’t been in awhile, but I am thinking that that needs to change soon :) .

Olive Garden salad is THE BEST! I haven’t been there in aaaages, but this post made me miss it! My mom and I used to go get their unlimited salad and soup lunch combo all the time when I was in high school–so good!

Your dinner outfit was too cute, especially with the little bump!! Pink and grey is one of my go-to color combos. :)

And woah, didn’t know those sunflower butter bites existed! Awesome!! My son’s allergic to PB so that’s very good to know.

Excited to hear more about these workout clothes–they look super cute!

Have a great week Katie!!
