I'm hoping the rain holds off for at least a couple days this week so I can make something on the grill. We may have to switch some things around depending on the weather, but I think we have a solid meal plan in place for this week. If you are looking for an awesome family-friendly and easy recipe for the grill, check out last week's post for the Honey Garlic Lemon Chicken - it was awesome!
MONDAY: Broccoli Chicken Mac & Cheese
I'll probably leave out the sun dried tomatoes even though I think it would be delicious I want to make sure the kids eat it too!
TUESDAY: Tacos
WEDNESDAY: Sriracha Lime Grilled Chicken Chopped Salad
Ever since I pinned this recipe I've been dying to try it. We'll let everyone assemble their own salads so if they don't want the spicy chicken or the avocado they don't have to put it on.
THURSDAY: Meat Lovers Lasagna Roll Ups
This is one of my freezer meals, but if you are looking for a yummy non-meat version of lasagna roll ups, check out my recipe for Spinach Lasagna Roll Ups.
FRIDAY: Girls Night Out
The husband is headed to Florida today so once we drop him at the airport the girls and I will find something for dinner. No fair, that I have to cook while he's enjoying some sunshine.

Even though I'm not shopping for new clothes, doesn't mean I couldn't make some new clothes :)
I saw this super cute skirt on the Make It & Love It blog for kids and of course they told how to make one for the mama too - yippy! Yoga + skirt = genius!
I didn't have super stretchy fabric that I was working with so I didn't take 2 inches off the waist measurement as instructed and I'm super happy with the results.
This is now a double use piece! Because I made the waistband the recommended 4" folded I was able to flip this part up and have a super cute dress as well! I love versatile clothes.
Which way do you like it best? Skirt or dress?
It's finally starting to get warm here in Indiana. We've had a few days of 70* weather which is a heat wave compared to the 30* days we faced a few weeks ago. Of course as I type this we are only expected to hit the mid-50s today so I may be daydreaming a bit. For the past 60+ days I've been really focusing on my eating and have been very committed to getting healthy and getting fit. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy any new clothes for spring/summer until I lost some weight and was happier with myself.
I've managed to lose 7 lbs so far which is a huge accomplishment for me. I've tried and failed many times on my get healthy, get fit mantra over the past few years. We are taking a cruise at the end of May so I really wanted to feel more confident in myself before I was stuck in a bathing suit for 7 days straight. I'm noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit. I notice that the belly pooch is a little smaller than it was before. I know I'm healthier than I was 60+ days ago and I know that I'm a little stronger than I was before as well. So until I'm ready to buy some new clothes I'll just do some online window shopping and plan my new wardrobe. I did however pick up 4 of the $3 tanks from Old Navy this week, but that hardly counts right?
I think I need a denim jacket. My girls are always wearing theirs, I bet I could get some good use out of one! {Old Navy}
Floral prints usually aren't my thing but this top is super cute and screams spring! {Old Navy}
I love wedges, these would go with just about anything. {Gap}
I'm sure I'd get these dirty in .2 seconds with kids around but white pants = summer weather. {h&m}
For work I'm really loving how I can pair a blazer with jeans and get it away with it during the week. {h&m}
It's the one thing I'm dreading most, but I will need to buy a bathing suit before our cruise. I'm having a terrible time finding anything that I like. Help!
