Hey everyone! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Don’t forget to link up at the bottom of this post!
My weekend was wonderful. Josh and I didn’t make a lot of plans and had lots of time for lounging, cat naps, and hanging out.
We spent Friday night on the couch watching Big Hero 6.
It was such a great movie, and definitely made for adults as much as kids. It was funny, action packed, and incredibly touching. #allthefeels
Saturday Josh and I volunteered with my co-workers at the Open Door Mission. It’s a great cause that works to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in Omaha. I feel so thankful that there’s organizations out there that put so much good into the world. You never know when you could find yourself in need and it’s the goodness of others that helps get you through.
After our shift Josh and I headed to Panera for an early dinner. We hadn’t been in a while and were excited to see these new veggie pasta bowls. They were really good!
Dessert was Girl Scout cookies I found in the trunk of my car on the way to the Open Door Mission. Apparently our friends Molly and Brian had given them to Josh a few days before. I had successfully avoided Girl Scout cookies all year only to find my favorites in the back of my car. Oh well, these Samoas were delicious.
The next day Josh and I headed to the Outlets to return some clothes. We planned on being in and out, but the deals were so good we ended up making a day of it.
Brooks Brothers was having 60% off their clearance prices. I got these two flannel shirts for $18 each and a really cute Easter dress! J.Crew was 50% off the entire store. I got a cute pair of sandals and two necklaces. It wasn’t until I got home to take these pictures I realized one of the necklaces didn’t make it into the bag. Womp Womp. I have to call tomorrow and hope we can get the other necklace sent to us since our receipt shows we paid for it. I also decided to retire my Vera Bradley ID case once and for all (a good 5 years after I should have) and upgraded to this super cute Kate Spade card holder keychain. It’s a little ridiculous how happy that bow makes me.
Josh also found some great deals on dress shirts and work clothes for an upcoming conference he’s going to. He leaves for Philly in a few weeks and I’m so excited for him but so jealous. I miss Pennsylvania.
Our shopping left us famished so we stopped at Voodoo Taco before heading back to Omaha. Their burritos are good and so big one will last you for lunch and dinner!
The rest of Sunday night was spent relaxing, watching Blackish (us), playing video games (Josh), and reading Outlander (me). Now it’s time to get started on a new work week!
Questions of the Day: What’s a good deal you got lately? What was a highlight of your weekend? Are you a Girl Scout cookie fan?
I love your picks from J.Crew!
J.Crew is on my list to stop at when I am in America next week, I am hoping they will have some great sales or their factory store will.
Ben’s parents were in town this weekend, and while our plans for Sunday were to “walk” which I thought might get a bit boring. We somehow managed to walk parts of the city I had been to but never really “explored” before. It was really wonderful!
And yes! Love girl scout cookies, especially Samoas!
I HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

the rain finally ceased yesterday and I took a long long long walk.
It was so restorative.

I am seriously six years old in my head; I love kids movies, and I’ll never stop watching them. It makes me feel better about this condition when someone says that a kids movie is also for adults. 😀
Looks like a delicious (and very cute clothes!) weekend!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! J. Crew!!! And love the sandals!!!! I have just found your blog… I’m new to the blogging world! 3 weeks in!!! I look forward to following you posts! I may even try the Link up you mentioned! However, will need to do when I have time… this thing called work has me rushing this morning!!!! Have a great day!!! 🙂

I absolutely love doing volunteer work – what an awesome cause of the organization you guys worked with. Panera broccoli soup is always my go to! And Girl Scout cookies are a big yessssss! I’ve never seen Big Hero 6 but I’m glad to hear it was good – I always enjoy movies like that, so I’ll have to look into seeing it! Happy Monday!
Sounds like you guys had a fabulous weekend! My highlight was definitely wine tasting with my husband. It’s something we both enjoy doing and we love meeting other people while tasting. The best conversations are had while wine tasting! 🙂

I love all those items you snagged shopping! So cute! My sister lovessss Big Hero 6, but I have yet to see it!
Hi Erin! Outlet shopping can be a total hit or miss, but it’s good when you find a lot of things. Too bad about the necklace, I hope you can get it back. And that’s awesome that you and Josh spent time volunteering for a good cause. Nice work! Have a lovely Monday! Thanks for hosting the link-up. 🙂
Those sandals and necklace are so cute! Also I miss Panera 🙁 We don’t have it in Utah!
My son and I love Big Hero 6! Such a cute movie. Also, that Kate Spade card holder is so cute! I am a sucker for Kate Spade!
Oh, Big Hero 6 was such a great movie. My kids loved it and we did too. Super emotional film! Sounds like you had a busy but fun weekend!
Stoppp, that Panera meal looks AMAZING. Also, I love the flannel pieces and accessories! So cute. Thanks for hosting the link-up. I hope you have a great week Erin! <3
I love that you guys volunteered at Open Door Mission. I would LOVE to do that sometime. Let me know if you are interested in going back 🙂

Love those sandals & card holder! It’s nearly impossible for me to go into a mall & NOT buy something! I need to go back to the outlets again too as I haven’t been out there in ages. I just tried samoa girl scout cookies for the first time this year! I’ve really never been big into girl scout cookies but the fiance orders them every year! Looks like a fun weekend!
Favorite part of the weekend was the whole thing! Even the 22 hours of driving we did. We got to eat good food and hang out with good friends. I miss them already!
I absolutely adore your Kate Spade key/ID holder! I’m going to try and scoop up something similar soon 🙂
Yummy!
