Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? Ours was laid back and unstructured. It was just what we needed before a busy week. Don’t forget to link up to your weekend snapshots at the bottom of this post!
Friday night started off with dinner at Tom+Chee. I am obsessed with their blueberry compote and put it on every sandwich I ever get there.
Josh and I split their strawberry lemonade donut for dessert. This thing is unreal!
Saturday morning was spent grocery shopping at Whole Foods.
Grabbing a quick bite to eat at Panera.
And then spending the evening coloring. We’re big party animals over here. 😉 We have the Enchanted Forest and Animal Kingdom coloring books and love them both.
Sunday was a day of cleaning, resting, and spending some time outdoors at Standing Bear Lake. Being next to water makes me so happy.
We had a picnic outdoors.
And just enjoyed some time outside. (LOFT Softened Popover shirts are where it’s at.) It was the perfect end to the weekend.
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? What’s your favorite grilled cheese topping? Do you prefer water or mountains?
That first sandwich looks amazing!! So many yummy eats!
Thanks Ashley! The grilled cheese was delicious!!
Strawberry lemonade donut? That beautiful dessert option looks like one of those desserts you never want to end. You know, where your licking your fingers for that little last bit 🙂 Hah!
I was literally licking my fingers at the end!! haha It was so good!!
Uhm that donut though ….. need it in my life!!!
It’s SO good!!
nice photos!

I adore my Day of the Dead coloring book <3 <3
I love that you have a Day of the Dead coloring book! How fun!
Those eats look yummy! 🙂 & the view is so beautiful! I can’t believe it!
Omaha has so many beautiful parks! I love them!
WOW…that sandwich and donut!! Are you serious?! What a nice weekend! I ran 16 miles…it was as beautiful and relaxing as running 16 miles could be! Lol
Way to go on 16 miles! That’s amazing!!
OMG what a cool donut! I have not had donuts in a LONG time but wow this made me want one! Thanks for sharing your fun weekend xo C
Thanks for the sweet comment Courtney! We had a great weekend!
They are building the first Tom and Chee in our town right now and I can. not. wait. for it to open!!
I am so excited for you!! It is a great restaurant!
Such a lovely weekend! Your pics are gorgeous and I adore the coloring books. I may be drooling over the food pics too!
It was a delicious weekend! And coloring is so fun!
I have never been to a Tom+Chee before. Looks good, though! I love coloring! And your Saturday night sounds like my idea of a good time! Thanks for hosting the link up!
Thanks for joining in the link-up Heather! Coloring was such a fun date night!
Girl, that loft shirt is so great. I was just thinking how perfect it is for the transition into fall! And I’m always so impressed with people who remember to take pictures of their food. I just devour mine!
Aww thanks Claire! I love LOFT! Taking pictures helps me to slow down when I eat. haha I can easily devour food. I love it way too much!
I love this link-up! I always find fun new people to follow.
Aww that makes me so happy! Thanks for stopping by Alyssa!!
I’ve been seeing these adult coloring books around & think I need one in my life! Coloring seems like it would be such a stress reliever. Relaxing weekends are the best too!
We should get together and color sometime!!
Love the lake shot! I had an amazing run near one of my favorite lakes on Saturday morning! It was definitely the highlight of my weekend!
…and, I saw a commercial for the Little League World Series and you popped in my head! 🙂
Ahh I miss Little League! That is such a fun yearly series! <3
Love all of your foodie shots! So delicious! And that lake looks so beautiful. What a fun weekend! xx

Omaha has so many beautiful lakes! What we lack in beaches we make up for in beautiful lakes!
Seriously your post made me so hungry!!! Loved following all your snaps this weekend!
Thanks girl! I always worry I’m snapping way too much! haha
Whoa, that donut!!! Want! You always have such yummy eats-mmmmmm!!
It was a delicious weekend!!
Is it wrong that I’m tempted to buy a plane ticket to Omaha just so I can go to this Tom and Chee place?
Girl do it!! You’d have a place to stay! 😀 And a cat who would want a lot of snuggles! haha
You know… if you keep spending so much time out west, I’m going to try to convince you to move there…
I bet Joanna would help me 🙂
haha We will be moving out west one day but not for a few years!
That strawberry lemonade donut looks AMAZING!
Omg it’s incredible! Such a great dessert!
So much good food! Glad you had a nice weekend, Erin. I always enjoy an outdoor picnic. Happy Monday! 🙂
Picnics are so fun! I want to do them more often!
I’ve been away and missed linking up! Your foods always look amazing! Sometimes it’s really nice to have an unstructured weekend- I’ve got one of those coming up and I’m totally looking forward to it!
Welcome back Montana! I hope you enjoy your relaxing weekend soon!
OMG. two words – THAT DONUT!!!!
YES! So delicious!
Ahh a picnic sounds awesome!! It was so toasty this weekend I might have melted. Need to check out Standing Bear for sure..it’s pretty close to my dad’s house!
Standing Bear is beautiful! And they have Stand Up Paddleboarding!
Being by the water has the same effect on me as it has in you! Lovely weekend.
The water is so peaceful! I love it!
All that delicious food has my mouth watering!!! xo, biana –BlovedBoston
It was one delicious weekend!
love the lake shot! I really enjoying being near the water too (near it…not in it).
Strawberry lemon donut looks ah-may-zing!

I love the adult coloring book trend! Your eats always look amazing. I have a shirt from J. Crew similar to your LOFT shirt that I love in all seasons.
Coloring is so fun! I really need to do it more!

It’s so nice to get to relax and just slow down!
Ok, highlight of my weekend… um, we FINALLY finished our hardwood floors!! Yay no more carpet!!!
Grilled cheese topping…. bacon? 🙂
Water or mountains is HARD! I would say water though. Love the sound.

Ohh yay for new floors! That’s so exciting!! And yes, I love the sounds of water! So relaxing!
This is a great idea & it looks like you had an awesome weekend. No pix from mine, which was mostly spent indoors trying to avoid the Texas heat. Maybe next weekend!
I hope Texas cools off soon!

Thanks Louise! It was a great weekend!
I prefer water over mountains! I was in GA over the weekend attending a funeral (bummer), but I did get to see a lot of my extended family that I had not seen in a while. It was nice to catch up with everyone.
I love getting to catch up with family! Hopefully next time you’re able to do so under better circumstances!
Okay all that food looks delish. And you just reminded me I haven’t colored in a few days!
Coloring is so fun! I hope you get to do it again soon!
looks like you had a fun weekend. the highlight of mine was my birthday:)
Happy Birthday Susan! I hope you had the best celebration!
Looks like you had so much fun! Lovely summer weekend recap Erin 🙂

Thanks Erica! It was a fun weekend!
What a fun/relaxing weekend! The highlight of my weekend was definitely seeing my new fence finally complete and all finished up (it’s been a long process). When it comes to grilled cheese I usually keep it ultra simple but I do love dipping it in a nice cup of tomato basil soup (especially on a cold day).
Tomato basil soup is so yummy! Way to go on finishing your fence!
Ok, that first sandwich looked amazing. Maybe it’s my brain and stomach talking since it’s been ages that I had a real good sandwich. YUM.
It was one delicious grilled cheese!
What a fun weekend! That donut has me salivating!
That donut is incredible!!!
Those coloring books look awesome! 😀 I’ve been wanting to go get one for one of my patients because she said she’s recently discovered adult coloring books and loves em’!
It’s so much fun! And so relaxing!
This is not the post to read while I am sitting here starving. Look at all that good food.
I hope you got to eat something delicious afterwards!!
Water for sure! I love lakes and beaches. Coloring together is such a cute idea!
It’s a fun date night! And yes, I’m happiest when I’m by water for sure
You had a lovely weekend. Those sandwiches look fabulous. I like my grilled cheese with tomatoes.
Grilled cheese sandwiches are so good!
Sounds like you had a peaceful weekend. Those are the best after a fast paced week.
Yes! So relaxing and so needed!
It looks like you had a great weekend! I’m a big fan of doing a tonne of colouring and I pretty much spent Friday night doing that myself! I’ll have to remember to take photos for next weekend!

Coloring is so fun and so relaxing! I’d love to see a picture next weekend! 🙂
Yummm it looks like it was a very tasty weekend 🙂 I think I had the same salad for lunch on Saturday!

I love the Whole Foods cold bar! It’s delicious!
Oh my! All of this looks delicious. I wish there was a Whole Foods closer to me.
It was an absolutely delicious weekend! I love Whole Foods!
Looks like a great weekend.
It was a fun one for sure!!
Thank you so much for hosting another week of wonderful links! I enjoy this party every week! Have a wonderful night! Oh, and I love the water, I don’t eat grilled cheese and my fav part of this week was coming home xx
Thanks for stopping by weekly Ashleigh! It really means a lot!
Now all I can think about is that blueberry compote. It looks so good. I need to get to that restaurant!
Omg I’m obsessed with that blueberry compote!
Love your snapshots!! Especially the lake view 🙂 so beautiful…
And you made me hungry with all those food pics.. I wish Panera was open right now!

I love being by water! It is so relaxing and beautiful!
Looks like you had a blast! Everything looks absolutely delish!

Would love to have a picnic with that donut!. Strawberries and Lemon are two of my favorite things!
That donut is incredible! I want another one! haha
The food looks delicious and your photos are amazing too.
Thanks Victoria! It was a yummy weekend!
Great looking weekend! I love outdoor picnics — hope yours was wonderful.
Picnics are so fun! I need to do them more!
Omg now look at all of that yummy food! Way to make me hungry!
haha We ate well this weekend!
What a great weekend you have! Love your photos and the foods, I am craving for them right now.
It was a weekend of delicious foods!
Tom+Chee’s looks like a place we would really like to eat – When/if I see one, now I know to stop and get some of their great looking food –
Fun post and great link up part!
Thanks for stopping by Donna! I hope you get to try Tom+Chee soon! It’s delicious!
Great weekend fun! What is it about coloring that is so soothing? It’s so nice to zone out and create something beautiful. It’s sort of like a more passive crafting for me. I love it.
Yes! I can just let my mind wander and relax. So fun!
That food all looks so delicious. My weekend highlight was going to the city centre market here, having popsicles, and picking out some new clothing.
I prefer my grilled cheese plain (I just started eating grilled cheese. I’d never eaten it before a year ago). I like both water and mountains. The ideal is Jasper or Banff here in my province.
