Maren took to Instagram yesterday (4/9) to thank everyone for the birthday love and shared a fun picture of her in school as a kid. She wrote, "Thank you for the birthday wishes today. 31 so far is full of pasta, babies, wine, and the most happy, roll-your-windows-down-and-vibe songs I’ve ever written + so much love."

On Saturday her husband Ryan Hurd posted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MM! It’s been a hell of a year, but you are an incredible mom, partner, artist, and you make my life better every day. I am always proud of you and I love watching you make music and live the life we get to live together. Cake! Margaritas! HOORAY!"
