Happy Monday everyone! This was a wonderful summer weekend here in Omaha! How was your weekend? Make sure to link up and share your Weekend Snapshots at the bottom of this post!
Saturday morning started off with a College World Series party at our friends Lauren and Kevin’s house.
Kevin brews his own beer and had a whole lineup made for the College World Series. I wasn’t drinking because we had another party to go to that afternoon (and I don’t like beer), but Josh enjoyed sampling them all. 😀
They had quite the feast! The party was packed and it was great getting to catch up with Lauren and Kevin and meet new people too!
We had to duck out of the party early to head to Eleanor’s 2nd Birthday Party! It was a zoo theme, and basically the cutest thing ever.
I mean look at these cookies! They tasted as good as they looked. 😀
The birthday girl was loving her cupcake and her presents!
And little miss Everly was loving watching big sister on her big day!
Such a fun photo wall! Can we take a second to appreciate the seriously unamused pig balloon?
My lovable lion. 😀
Lunch was basically a bunch of snacks, so Josh and I decided to do an easy and quick dinner. We picked up soup from Paradise Bakery and Cafe on the way home and called it good.
Sunday was Junkstock Day! Oh man do I love Junkstock! It’s a biannual celebration of vintage junk held every June and October. There are vendors from all over. You never know what you will find.
Booths run the gamut from true junk to items you could find in an Anthropologie store. It’s so much fun to browse them all.
Josh and I have been going to every Junkstock since we moved here and always have so much fun.
When it got a little too hot and sunny we took a break under a shady tree to listen to some live music.
The heat didn’t encourage big appetites, so lunch was a veggie egg roll for two.
And some fresh strawberry lemonade.
There were so many fun photo opportunities scattered throughout the booths.
We had to get our traditional picture in front of the giant tire peace sign.
How adorable is this little love shack? I had the 80’s song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
On the way home from Junk Stock we went grocery shopping and picked up dinner for the night. I got an arugula salad from Bonefish Grill and added some shredded chicken when I got home. It was so good.
After we ate dinner we relaxed for a little bit before meeting up with Jordan and Ben at the beer garden in the College World Series. I wasn’t planning on drinking, but it was a beautiful night, and sometimes when you find buckets of booze for $10, you just gotta go for it. The game ended up being postponed halfway through because of lightning. Thankfully we had finished our drinks and hung out for a while by this point. I’d like to think the all-out sprint back to our apartments worked off some of the drink calories! 😉 Josh and I have tickets to the game tonight and I’m really hoping for good weather!
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Are you a baseball fan? Do you enjoy antiquing?
Junk Stock looks so fun! That would be perfect for finding cool items to decorate with!
It’s so much fun! I love that you never know what you’ll find!
here the weekend ROCKED.
from the hiking to the HENNA TATTOOS>

I love your henna tattoos! They turned out so beautifully!
What stunning scenery! Love the little photo shoot. We had a wonderful weekend of strawberry picking and a fiesta at my girlfriend’s house.
I’ve always wanted to go strawberry picking!! How fun!
Junk Stock looks INCREDIBLE!! I bet it was so much fun looking through that stuff for treasures! Looks like you had a great weekend girl!
It was an awesome weekend! And yes, I love that you’ll never know what you can find at Junkstock!
Looks like a fabulous weekend! Mine was quiet, but we still got out and about a bit in Austin. Love the pic on the red tractor!
I’ve always wanted to visit Austin! I’m glad you had a good weekend!
What a great weekend! Junk Stock looks like the best way to spend a Sunday! Now I’m craving a fresh strawberry lemonade 🙂
The lemonade was so good! And Junkstock was so fun!
That pig balloon was throwing some serious shade! Glad you had a great weekend…mine was fantastic as well.
Yay for great weekends! That pig made me laugh so hard!
Another great weekend in the books for you! Great pictures!
We went to see a production of Les Miserables- it was amazing!!
I’ve always wanted to see Les Mis! I never have!
I absolutely love that paintcan heart! What a cute idea and perfect place for a picture. The animal themed party is so adorable as well! Have a great week 🙂

Somehow, in my whole Nebraskan life, I have never heard of Junkstock before this year! I am going to try really hard to make it when they do it again in October. Eleanor’s party looked so fun!
Yes you have to go in October! Junkstock is so much fun!!
Those photobooth settings are super cool. Looks like fun!
It was such a fun weekend!
It always astonishes me how much you pack into a weekend!
It’s funny because I know I do a lot but I also rest and nap a lot on weekends! haha I need an even mix of both!
You always have such exciting and full weekends! I love the zoo party, too cute!!
It was such a fun weekend, and birthday party!!
I forgot about the Junkstock! Probably one of my favorite things I did in Omaha! And the college world series was a blast. I never went to a game, but I enjoyed the beer tents 😉

Josh and I try to go to one game a year and then go to the tents a lot! haha They’re both such different but such fun experiences!
I’m so happy you and Josh celebrated with us! Eleanor had a blast! She talked about everybody ALL day on Sunday 🙂
She is seriously the cutest!!! I’m so glad she had such a good birthday!

What a great weekend. I don’t antique only because I have NO vision, so it’s just not fun for me. I wish I did and could see potential and was crafty enough to do the project required to bring something back to life. The highlight of my weekend was spending the entire weekend with my family, I love weekends like that!
Weekends with family are so precious!! I’m glad you had a good one!
How cute are those cookies?! Junkstock looks like it was a great time!

Those cookies are sooooo cute! The little elephant cookies are just adorable! Looks like a fabulous weekend 🙂
