Weekend Whereabouts


Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. I'll start by saying my whereabouts were pretty minimal the past few days. It was a rainy weekend so it was perfect for catching up on some R&R since I have a few busy weekends of travel ahead.

I did venture out on Friday afternoon for some puppy playtime and a quick dinner.


After dinner we watched the movie Steve Jobs at home and had a quiet Friday night which was much needed!

 On Saturday I stayed local to get some errands done and rest up at home. I shopped around for some essentials for our Easter dinner party, did a ton of laundry, took some naps and spent lots of couch time with Lola watching TV.



Some inevitable online retail therapy happened on Saturday night since I had all the free time to browse. Maybe this is why I try to keep myself busy on weekends?

On Sunday, I went to Kohl's to pick up a dutch oven I had ordered to make the Guinness Beef Stew I posted about last week for my Friday Faves. It came out amazing by the way and I have to thank the lovely Andrea for helping me out with a few secret tips!


 Of course I ended up venturing over to the clothing department in Kohl's but not too much damage was done. I purchased these cute coral-colored shorts and navy crochet shorts for the Spring/Summer time weather and used a 30% off coupon.
 I'm so excited this is a short work week (we get Good Friday off) and I'm looking forward to our quick road trip adventure this coming weekend.

  22. Sometimes low key weekends are just what you need in order to get ready for the upcoming week, even if it's short! I know what you mean about spending way too much money if you have the time to shop! All the stuff you got is super cute though, and I'm sure that you'll wear it a ton!

  25. Looks like the perfect weekend girl! Online shopping is a real problem of mine and I especially do so when I've got nothing to do. I have those exact looking shoes, but Steve Madden and I looove them, so comfortable. I wore them for the 3 hours our engagement shoot took and never once did they hurt my feet. Those shorts are also cute, I need to check them out!
