Happy Monday everyone! Did you have a good weekend? It was another great one here in Omaha! Don’t forget to link up to your weekend snapshots at the end of this post!
I started my weekend off with a fun photo shoot on Friday night. I had photos of a few of my outfits taken for some upcoming blog posts. More on that to come! 😀
Saturday morning Josh and I did our usual errand running. I dropped Josh off at Whole Foods to get started on grocery shopping while I headed over to Regency Court to go to Summer Miller’s book signing at Williams-Sonoma.
New Prairie Kitchen shares the stories and recipes of all the Midwest has to offer. Oprah’s private chef called it a love letter to the heartland and I wholeheartedly agree.
After grocery shopping, Josh and I headed over to a friend’s housewarming party. There were a lot of alcohol-infused shenanigans and somehow the only picture I managed to snap was the flowers we brought to give her. It happens. 😉
Sunday Josh and I headed over to Papillion Days. It’s a fun little street fair/carnival that we had never been to before.
We started off with homemade veggie burgers with arugula, garlic infused tomatoes, and avocado sauce. At a carnival, guys. #mindblown
We had fun checking out all the rides that we’re both way too chicken to go on. This giant slide is more my style than things that hurl you upside down or drop you really fast.
We found a homemade soda tent that we knew we had to check out. They traveled from Kansas City for this event.
Josh got the root beer which was delicious. I had way more than a few sips. How cute is the decorative mug?
We then found a homemade ice cream tent that churns their ice cream with a John Deere.
I ordered the vanilla and it was so good. There’s something about ice cream in summertime.
We got the genius idea to mix the two together and magic was made.
(Anyone catch the typo on the mug? I cringed, but then Josh and I agreed that outlaws don’t care about no stinkin’ grammar.)
After a food fueled day Josh, and I headed home for some relaxation. I wanted some Bravo, took a nap, cuddled with my amazing cat, and had breakfast for dinner. It was a good day!
Questions of the Day: What was the highlight of your weekend? Are you a fan of rootbeer floats? What’s your favorite food fair?
How cool is that soda fountain?!!?
Also, those flowers are gorgeous!! Love the look for the berries and the roses together.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
It was such a neat soda fountain! Definitely shows how a cool presentation can drive sales! I hope your week is off to a great start Andrea!
Looks like a wonderful weekend.
It was a great weekend! Thanks Patrick!
I LOVE your gift of flowers in the jar! So simple and so beautiful!
Thanks! I thought they were really pretty! 😀
what a fun foodie weekend! looks like a blast!
It was such a fun weekend! As always, it flew by way too fast!
Root beer floats are definitely a summer stable (and screams childhood unplugged)
Yes! It took me back to summers at the shore!
The flowers that you brought over for your friend are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the outfits you shot!

Aww thanks Jen! I thought they were a fun gift! I’m so excited to see the photos too! I hope I don’t look like a huge goober in them!
Looks like you had another great weekend Erin. All the food and drinks look yummy. Love how you styled the LWD and also that bouqyet of roses on the Mason Jar is stunning. I want to re-create. Happy Monday!
Aw thank you Ada! That white dress is one of the outfits I shot! Fingers crossed the pictures turned out okay!
That little street fair/carnival looks so cute! Genius idea to make your own root beer float. Those are so good in the summertime!
Oh man the rootbeer float was DELICIOUS! Definitely a fun treat!
love the pictures! I am looking forward for your link up every week!

Aw thanks Irene! I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts too!
That carnival looks awesome! Root beer floats are my favorite treat so I can imagine the deliciousness of home made root beer AND ice cream! Swoon!! Happy Monday!
The rootbeer float was delicious!! Such a fun summertime treat!
All that food looks delish, and how awesome is that soda fountain tent!
The soda fountain tent was so fun! It definitely proves how a fun display can drive sales!
I love classic vanilla ice cream! We have a ton of food-style fairs in Austin. They are pretty amazing!
Ohh I would love to go to a food fair in Austin! I’m sure they’re incredible!
Looks like a ton of fun! I absolutely love root beer floats, and that one looked amazing. Such a fun weekend, and I loved your dress! So cute 🙂 Have a great week!
Thanks Gretchen! It was one amazing rootbeer float! 😀
A soda tent?! yes please!! Sounds like a really great weekend and I’m loving the flowers you arranged for your friend! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Thanks Biana! It was such a fun weekend! Although I’m not creative enough to make a pretty floral display like that, I bought them at Whole Foods! 😀
I see what you did with your homemade ice cream and coke there and I approve : )
Can’t wait to see some shots from your fashion photoshoot!
Oh man it was such a good rootbeer float!!
I’m getting so excited/nervous to get the photos back from the shoot! I just don’t want to look like a dork! 😡
I cannot remember the last time I had a float. I don’t like rootbeer though. I do however love local fairs.
It was such a fun, small-town fair!
I love ice cream floats–so so yummy! Now I want one! 🙂 Carnivals are the best, and all that food is fab.
It was such a fun small-town carnival! It definitely felt like summer!
Oh Erin, I cringe at grammar errors, but you’re right — maybe it was fitting for that mug. Glad you had a nice weekend. The highlight of mine was definitely the Golden State Warriors champs parade. Happy Monday!
Oh I love parades! I’m glad you had a good weekend!
Looks like you had a fun weekend. Love the flowers!

It was an awesome weekend! Aren’t they beautiful? Fresh flowers are one of my favorite things!
sounds like you had one heck of a weekend!! Isn’t there just something about ice cream in the summer?! Or at least I tell myself that to justify weekly ice cream shop stops!
The ice cream was so good!! It tasted even better in the 80 degree heat!
Those flowers are so pretty!! We are doing mason jar centerpieces at my best friends bridal shower this weekend. I can’t wait for festivals to get started around here. Unfortunately, the few that we have at the beginning of the summer aren’t really good anymore, so I’m excited for the ones that come around in August!
Ohh I hope you have a blast at the ones in August! I love street fairs and festivals!
Looks like a great weekend!

It was an awesome weekend! It flew by way too fast though!

Thanks Megan! Fresh flowers are one of my favorite things!
love the flowers/jar you gave your friend. so lovely! and I want that mug (with the rootbeer). Very cute!

I love the mug! It’s what helped us decide to spend the $7 on the rootbeer! haha
It looks like you had a great weekend! I love this time of year because of all the street fairs that are happening. They’re always so much fun!
Yes! I love summertime! There’s so many fun things to do!
Great food choices!

Thanks girl!
Root Beer floats are not my favorite. I do like them by themselves, but not when paired together, weird. Looks like you had a great weekend!
It’s funny, I’m the same way with peanut butter and chocolate! Love them separate, not together!
looks like you had a wonderful weekend!!!
xo,

It was an awesome weekend! Thanks Sandy!
I love that mason jar bouquet! I almost picked one up at Whole Foods this weekend!
Aren’t they gorgeous! Such a fun little gift!
What a fun festival! Homemade soda and fresh churned ice cream?! YES please. Also love the flowers, did you arrange it yourself?
I did not arrange the flowers myself. I wish I had that kind of skill! I picked these up from the floral department at Whole Foods! 😀
Looks like a really fun filled weekend! The homemade ice cream looks yummy.

The homemade ice cream was great!
This looks like such a fun weekend!

It was a great weekend! I wish it didn’t have to go by so fast!
What a great weekend. I wish we’d been in town for Papillion days, hopefully next year.
I hope you get to go next year too! It was a lot of fun! Definitely a little small town fair with a lot of charm!
I need to get out more often! It is the same thoughts every time after I read your post! lol! It seems like you guys always have a lot of fun!
By the way, I started my own link up and it will be every Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop by! 🙂
