Hey everyone! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I could really use another day to rest and recuperate but had such an awesome one. Don’t forget to link up to yours at the end of this post!
My weekend started off with Saigon Bowl with Megan after work on Friday. Saigon Bowl hosted a Yelp event a few months ago and I have wanted to go back ever since. It was so good!
I got home from dinner and had some packages waiting for me! Check out this super cute #instaeasterbasket gift swap I participated in. It amazes me how multi-faceted Instagram is. I have made friends from there, bought clothes from there, and now do present swaps from there. haha What will the Internet think of next?
Saturday morning Josh and I had a bunch of errands to run. While we were at Target I talked Josh into ordering the limited edition Starbucks birthday cake frappuccino so I could have a few sips. He graciously agreed. 😀 We both loved it and thought on top of being a delicious drink it was also a really pretty one. I had to get a picture. Today’s the last day to try one if you haven’t yet!
I felt good about only having a few sips of the frap so I could go to town on this grilled cheese perfection from Tom+Chee. They are a company that were on Shark Tank that specialize in grilled cheese and tomato soup concoctions. I got a goat cheese + cheddar cheese + blueberry compote + roasted turkey on wheat and loved every bite. The soup was wattery and meh so I skipped it and dug into some of Josh’s mac and cheese that he ordered. It was so good!
We ran into the mall so I could return some things and pick-up a throw from Anthropologie. We were greeted with the yummiest mini pies. I love how cute this set-up looked. I guess I shouldn’t expect anything else from Anthro. 😉
The throw I picked up. I’m in love with the poms!
Saturday night was spent crafting. 😀 I have a project I’m working on for Shari’s Berries that I’ll be sharing later this week.
Sunday morning we woke up, cleaned our house for company later, and then packed up a picnic for lunch! I’m writing my first blog post for the Stonyfield website on how to pack a perfect picnic and am so excited. I snapped a behind the scenes pic of all the stuff involved in getting ready.
When we got back from our picnic we prepped some food and drinks and got ready to host a Tequila party! We picked up some good stuff in Mexico and wanted to share it with our friends. We thought a tequila party was the perfect way to do so. It was such a fun night! I’ll be posting more about it this week.
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Are you a fan of tequila? Have you done a traditional “picnic basket and picnic blanket” picnic? What did you think of the Starbucks birthday cake frap?
Mmm, another tasty weekend! Love the idea of a tequila party, such a fun way to share memories of your vacation to Mexico.
Have a great week ahead Erin!
Best!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is going on with that grilled cheese combo? Who thought of such amazingness?
Tequila party! Well I actually hate tequila but I’m sure the party was still fun.
Crafting always sounds fun until I’m doing it. haha!
Love that idea of a insta swap–too cute!
Looks like you had a super fun weekend. Loving all the pictures!

Aren’t you looking adorable all dolled up in your skirt. I feel like you never have a dull weekend. I look forward to Monday’s when you share your weekend recaps. You really do a great job living life to the fullest 🙂
Looks like you had a great weekend! I LOVE that burberry jacket. <3 Also, the throw with poms is too cute. Great food too! Thanks for hosting the link-up, Erin. Have a great week!
Another delicious weekend! I really want to try the Starbucks Birthday Cake Frap, but don’t want to drink an entire one. Maybe I’ll take a lesson from you, and get my boyfriend to order it ; )
Girl, you are always so busy, I get tired just reading about it all!! haha. But sounds like you did some awesome things this weekend, and ate a ton of great food. Also, tequila party? I’m super jealous. Not only am I a tequila lover, but since I’m preggo I haven’t had any since this fall! What a fun idea though!
I didn’t get to try the birthday Starbucks beverage, but can only imagine how good it was! And picnics are the best — that’s something we do quite frequently here in the Bay Area. Happy Monday, Erin! 🙂
So many fun things going on here! Love the idea of a tequila party. Have an awesome week!
I’m seriously bummed that the coffee/chocolate tequila cannot be found in the US! We may have to make Mexico our honeymoon spot just so we can drink that again! Also, I need to try that Tom+Chee after seeing your pictures now & I had no idea it was a Shark Tank business! Have a wonderful week!
Huge congrats on writing for Stonyfield! I do love their yogurts. And that skirt you are wearing in the picture is adorable. The whole outfit is! I remember seeing Tom and Chee on Shark Tank!
That all looks delicious!

1) All of that food looks amazing
2) I’m so incredibly jealous of everyone that lives where it’s warm enough to have a picnic right now. Dang Canada
That Anthro set-up is so cute, and I love the throw you got!
