Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! Don’t forget to link up to your weekend recap at the bottom of this post.
I feel like I blinked and the weekend was over. Here’s what we were up to:
Friday night Josh and I had a date night seeing Brian Regan. I had never heard of him before, but Josh is a big fan and was so excited when he heard he was coming to town. I haven’t been to a lot of stand up comedy so I was really looking forward to the experience. It was so much fun and Josh and I had such a great night together. I want to go to more comedy shows!
Saturday started off with grocery shopping and lunch at Whole Foods. They have a street cart there at lunch time and were making gyros. It was so good.
After lunch, Josh and I headed to our first ever floral arranging class! We had so much fun. For $15 you bring a vase and Whole Foods provides the flowers and the arrangement lesson. They even broke out some snacks! Everyone in the class was so nice and I learned a bunch about flowers.
I was really happy with how my flowers turned out. I’ve still got a long way to go before I can make any sort of elaborate bouquet, but these make a beautiful addition to our home.
Saturday night Josh and I attended a Literacy Party at a friend and fellow Junior League member’s house. Melissa and her husband really know how to throw a party! They made everything from the hummus to the bread and it was all amazing! This was one of the only pictures I managed to snap and it doesn’t do anything justice, but please notice the homemade tree and book centerpiece.
I loved getting to spend time with these girls and get to know them better. I’m really excited a bunch of us are going to be on the same committee next year! The party was so much fun and Josh and I really enjoyed chatting, eating, and drinking late into the night.
After the late night, I ended up waking up and not feeling my best. Thankfully it was nothing a good brunch couldn’t fix! Josh and I attended the Bacchanalian Brunch at Jams and enjoyed trying a new-to-us restaurant while supporting a good cause.
The rest of the day consisted of running errands to get Josh ready for an upcoming conference and an unsuccessful attempt at getting Lilly Pulitzer for Target items. I had picked out everything I wanted online, only to wake up late on Sunday and see it was all sold out. Looking at the in-store locator online I found a Target store on the other end of town still had items I wanted. We drove all the way there only to find out their in-store locator only updates once each day and was incorrect. The store had in fact sold out of all their items at 8:30am. Womp womp.
While I didn’t end up with any Lilly Pulitzer for Target items, I did enjoy this fantastic grilled cheese sandwich Josh made for me using fresh bread we were sent home with from the party. He put cheddar, jam, and apple slices on it and it was divine. It was the perfect way to end the weekend.
Questions of the Day: Did you manage to snag some Lilly Pulitzer items at Target this weekend? What was the highlight of your weekend?
Looks like fun 🙂 my highlight was the amazing long overdue weather on Saturday. Thanks for the linkup!
I’m so glad you had beautiful weather to enjoy! Let’s hope it just keeps on going up from here!

Aw thanks Irene! I learned a lot about flowers and am hoping I get better with more practice!
Your flower arrangement totally puts mine to shame! Looks like a great weekend!
No way! I’m sure your floral arrangement is great!
Brian Reagan is one of my favorite comedians – so jealous!
I had no idea what to expect but he was awesome and SO funny!!
your bouquet looks gorgeous! i’ll be honest – i didn’t know about the whole lilly at target thing until my instagram was flooded with items, lines, and empty racks lol
Aw thank you! I want to take more floral arrangement classes!
That floral arranging class sounds like so much fun! Your bouquet turned out amazing! Sounds like you had a fab weekend – Happy Monday!!
Aw thanks Rachel! I was really happy with how it turned out!
I’m so not a Lily Pullitzer kind of girl. I didn’t even know anything about it until Facebook yesterday LOL.
That sandwich looks amazing!
The sandwich was so good! I want to eat it again! haha
Your weekend pics are so spring-y and fun! 🙂 I agree–I blinked and it was gone! Already looking forward to the next one, haha!
Yes! haha It was another awesome weekend in the books!
Lovely weekend snaps!!!
Best!

Thanks Rebecca! It was a fun weekend!
I had a friend who woke up at like 4:30am to try and get Lilly stuff online from Target and they were already sold out! People went kind of insane over it!!
I would be so sad if I woke up that early and didn’t get anything! My sleep is too precious! Haha
That flower arranging class sounds so fun! I took one last year and it’s so fun to be able to arrange my own flowers at home now.
I want to take more floral classes so I can hopefully learn even more!
No more Target for us in Canada so definitely no Lily Pullitzer, her stuff looks cute! I love going to comedy shows although they can definitely be hit and miss. I’ve seen some really bad comedy before.
There’s no Target in Canada?! Omg I don’t know what I would do!!
We LOVE Brian Regan around here!! Such a fun (pretty clean) comedian. You’re so lucky!!! I want to go to one of his shows one day. We met him at a wedding reception for a friend, and he was so kind & hilarious in person too. What a fun date night!
Yes! I love that his comedy was clean! He was such a funny guy!
Hi Erin! Lots of fun and good eats over your weekend! No Lily for me. And you know, I used to be in the Junior League when I lived in Orlando and I was even on the board! Haven’t joined it here in the Bay Area though. Happy Monday. Thanks for hosting! 🙂
Oh fun! Do you think you’ll join Junior League again?
Gosh looks like you had a busy weekend! I have always thought about joining junior league but never actually went through with doing it. How have you liked it? I was in Chi O in college and loved it but just wasnt sure if I wanted the same level of commitments post college but it looks like so much fun from your pictures! I am rambling…anyways, happy Monday!

Hey Chelsea! I love Junior League and would totally recommend it! It’s a great way to meet awesome, outgoing girls! It’s definitely a time commitment but you can do as much or as little as you like, and you tend to get out what you put in.
I love how your floral arrangement turned out!! It sounds like that was a super fun class 🙂
We should go to a class together sometime!
Yes, we should!!
Looks like a great weekend.
It was a fun one!
This is such a cute weekend recap! Love the photos!

Aw thank you! I had a lot of fun! 😀
What a great weekend, and those flowers are beautiful.
Thanks Ginny! I had so much fun putting them together!
I’m not sure what it is but weekend round ups are some of my all time favorite posts to read – I think I just love all the pretty photos and getting inspiration for fun to-dos that don’t include the TV! This one has made me extremely hungry though! LOL!

OOOh I love the idea flower arrangement course! Sounds like such a blast!
It was so much fun and I learned a lot! I hope I get better with practice and more classes!
You stay so busy with fun events — jealous!
There are so many fun things to do in Omaha! It’s pretty awesome!
Umm… that grilled cheese looks magical. I love it! Looks like you guys had a jam-packed weekend! We love going to stand up comedy shows. I need to check into that floral class at Whole Foods! $15 isn’t bad at all!
It was a magical grilled cheese! haha If your Whole Foods does a floral class you should totally check out a class. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot!
My friend Mark does floral arranging classes. He runs a floral shop. He started Twigs, sold it so he could go to school, and now runs a different shop here in town.
Ohh I need to check that out! I love learning how to arrange flowers!
