Happy Monday everyone! We had a cold weekend here in Omaha. I have off work today, so I’m really not done with my weekend yet. I’m excited for an extra day of snuggling up on the couch under warm blankets. Here’s what I’ve been up to so far:
Friday night I met up with Jordan and Joanna for dinner. We went to Flagship Commons where I got my favorite salad from Clever Greens. Jordan also got the Quinwow salad and unlike me actually remembered to snap a picture so I’m stealing hers. 😉 It was so great to catch up on each other’s lives and just spend time together. Girl time is essential!
Saturday morning I had more girlfriend time to look forward to and met up with Heidi for brunch at Culprit. The food was, as always, amazing. I can’t get enough of their homemade kombucha. And I love hanging out with Heidi, her creativity is contagious and always inspires me.
Speaking of inspired, the latest issue of Inspired Living Omaha just came out and I’m in it! I have been doing some freelance writing in addition to my day job and writing this blog. I love how all my various pursuits keep me learning and growing. It keeps life fun!
Josh and I had to run some of our usual errands this weekend. Getting to the mall was a madhouse and took like twenty minutes for us to find parking. We couldn’t figure out what would cause that sort of traffic after Christmas until we saw there was a model casting being held in the mall. There were tons of girls trying out. I hope some dreams came true!
Since the weather was so cold we tried to stay indoors as much as possible. I watched a lot of Downton Abbey and snacked on NOW Crunchy Clusters. I am obsessed with these things! My only wish is that the bag was bigger. 😉
Josh and I made a cheesy pasta dish for dinner.
And had a movie night in! Any guesses what we were watching?
We ended our Sunday night the way we end most other nights: with Punkin playtime. This little ball of fur makes my heart so happy. I feel so lucky to be his cat mama.
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Are you off work today? Was it frigid in your area this weekend?
so nice! love all of your snaps! thank you for hosting the link up
Seems like a pretty great past few days. I love staying in and watching movies. The only thing you’re missing is hot cocoa! Enjoy your long weekend 🙂
There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your name in print! Congrats!
I have no idea what your movie night snacks were (or the movie, for that matter) But they look delicious! Chocolate-y popcorn and diet cokes for the win!
Mmmm so much good food! Want to try those crunchy clusters— they sound like such a great snack!
Oh man, I wish I was off work today, instead I’m commenting right now FROM work. No thank you. The weather was so-so all weekend, and come this morning it was FREEZING! Not the best way to start my Monday!
Enjoy your extra day off, Erin! Your cat is just the cutest!!!
Lots of yummy food this weekend! Your kitty is so cute. Enjoy the day!
Wow it looks like you’ve had quite the eventful weekend! I’m jealous of all of the yummy food you shared with us it all looks amazing! Luckily I’m off today but it’s sooo cold by me… quite miserable weather but I’ll never complain about a day off!
Congratulations on the magazine article, that’s a great accomplishment.
Snuggling on your couch under the blankets …. I’m also sitting on the couch under my duvet and working on my blog! Its a rainy day on the Isle of Wight (UK). Instead of a cat I have my 3 year old hopping around hehe.

Congrats on your name in print! That is amazing!
What is that popcorn treat? I saw it in your Snapchat! YUM!
Thanks lady! It’s melted chocolate drizzled over popcorn with M&M’s!
So many good eats here! Looks like a fab weekend!
It’s so nice to know that you had a great time! I can feel it while reading and scanning the photos of your post. My weekend’s highlight was that, I was able to rest after a very tiring job week. 🙂
All of the food in this post looks amazing! I’ll take it all! 😉 Looks like a lovely weekend.
Congrats on the freelance success!! That’s awesome!
That cheesy pasta looks incredible!
I’ve been wanting to try Flagship commons, the food looks really good!
Congrats on the freelancing! Also that popcorn looks amazing-I need to up my movie-watching game 🙂
I wish my weekend was that eventful! Then again.. I love relaxing weekends. But looks like fun! I really want to try the crunchy clusters.
I just discovered your blog and I love it! I’m off work today and thinking about hitting a spinning class now that it’s warmed up past ten degrees. Have a great week 🙂
A weekend full of food is my kind of weekend!
It sounds like you had a fun weekend. I would love to be young and in my 20’s again. I miss those days. Enjoy it!
Mmmm, all those food pictures look seriously delicious! Great roundup 🙂
Sounds a lot like the weekend I had! Haha
That pasta looks amazing!
Oh my, that cheesy pasta dish looks delicious! I have no idea what movie you were watching, but now I really want to know! It was freezing where I live this weekend, but feels like spring today! Go figure.
That pasta dish looks absolutely incredible! Great pictures! I love this ideas for a blog post to wrap up and show what you did over the weekend!
You take beautiful photos. It was warm on Saturday here in Delaware (played soccer outside with no coats!) then snowed for the first time all winter on Sunday. Strange! I am off today and having trouble relaxing on a Monday, but I’m trying!
Congrats on the magazine! How awesome!
Congrats on your publication! Also, that pasta dish looks simple & yummy!
Looks like you had a fabulous (and delicious!!!) weekend!
Wow, all that food looks delicious! Haha my tummy growled. I had a low key weekend but I’m hoping to head to the mountains this weekend, if it doesn’t snow. Aww, what a cute little kitty!
I love crunchy clusters! My mom buys some from Costco and it rarely lasts more than a day once we open it…so it’s probably a good thing I don’t live anywhere near to a Costco!
Congrats on the freelancing work, that is great! Your kitty is so adorable too!
I ran my 18th half marathon on Sunday, and I’m feeling it today! It was crazy windy, so I’m extra sore. Almost feels like it’s post-race soreness like a full rather than half distance! Ha. 🙂
Oh my goodness – such delicious-looking food! Now I’m hungry… 😉
Your brunch looks beautiful!
Great shots! And congratulations on being published in Inspired Living…how awesome! 🙂
All the food looks delicious! It’s making me hungry. And congratulations on your work in the magazine! It’s so exciting! I’m glad you had a nice weekend and hope you have a great week!
Great inspiring post with lovely photos. I love your Cherry Macaroons recipe, shared it on my Pinterest group board.
Thank you!!
Looks like a fab weekend! And your kitty is a total cutie! We spent our weekend visiting friends and family in the city. Maybe I should do a post about it 🙂
You totally should!!
That cheesy pasta looks amazing! It sounds like you had a fun, but relaxing weekend.
Hope you enjoyed your day off. That pasta salad looks sooo good!
Oh my gosh… Punkin is the CUTEST!!
Looks like you had a fantastic weekend! I also co-host a Weekend Snapshots link-up (great minds think alike, right!)
Congrats on getting published!
Congrats on the magazine feature Erin! You sure had a lovely weekend! Your food pictures made me hungry. ?
Those crunchy clusters look great!
