Good morning!
I hope you guys are having a good weekend so far! From this point forward, my weekend will be go, go, go, but it’s jam-packed with tons of wedding-related fun, so I am excited!
First up is my friend Minda’s bachelorette party tonight. Her bachelorette party has been dubbed a “beach”lorette party since we’ll be spending the day on the beach.
Earlier this week, I sent Minda a basket of fun beach-themed goodies from her bridesmaids to get her psyched for this weekend! I think she’s pumped!
(In case you’re wondering what the little stuffed pig toy is all about, it was a gift from Sadie to Minda’s dogs so they would have something to keep them company while Minda is gone for the weekend. Minda is just as obsessed with her sweet dogs as we are with Sadie.)
I can’t wait for some fun in the sun!
After Minda’s bachelorette party, the wedding-related fun will continue through Sunday because my mom, sister and I are going shopping for Leslie’s wedding dress! I am beyond excited and can’t wait to see her in some gorgeous gowns. Woo!
Workout
This morning began with a sweaty workout at the gym with Ryan. I did some incline walking for 20 minutes on the treadmill to warm up before it was time for the tough stuff!
Today’s workout was inspired by the pyramid workout I did on Thursday morning. I modified it slightly and completed three rounds of the following workout:
It was a sweaty one!
Breakfast
When Ryan and I got home from the gym, it was breakfast time. We both wanted something fast because I need to pack and hit the road for bachelorette party fun and Ryan has plans to spend the day scalloping with a friend. <— I’m jealous! I’ve never been scalloping before and it sounds like a blast!
I made both of us egg sandwiches to quickly eat featuring my favorite sweet and salty flavors.
Cheese + Egg + Strawberry Jelly
Time to pack and hit the road!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Sounds like you are going to have a blast!! Love that pack you put together for Minda especially the dog toy from Sadie 🙂
Have a great time!
That bridesmaid’s gift is so adorable, I’m sure she loved it! Hope your busy weekend is a fun one 🙂
If I’m ever in your area, I’m definitely coming over for one of your sweet+salty breakfast sandwiches! They look so good! Have a great weekend at your Beach-lorette party and wedding dress shopping! Wedding fever!
I wish I had your crafting skills haha! But really, that’s such a sweet thing for you to do for your friend :). You should be my bridesmaid too ;).
Mhmm I love the sweet and salty combination that you had for breakfast! One of my favorites is an english muffin with jam and norwegian goat cheese. Sounds weird, but is the most amazing combination of flavors ever 🙂
Do you use an app on your phone to time workouts like this?
Nope! I just use the clock on the wall at my gym.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend! A beach bachelorette party sounds like so much fun! That was so sweet of miss Sadie to think of her friends.
That’s an adorable gift for the bride and it sounds like y’all will have a blast on the beach!! I would love to know how many bachelorette parties you have been to?! I need to try out your breakfast sandwich combo. It sounds delicious!
I adore the gift! Such a cute idea.
Have a super fun weekend! It sounds like it will be a blast!
Sounds like a fun weekend!! I’m spending mine back in LA for the weekend for a friend’s wedding!! It’s totally the weekend of wedding stuff! 🙂
That gift basket is so cute…you always do such a great job with crafty gifts!!
Have fun this weekend!
Love the idea of sending a pre-bachelorette package to get the bride excited! And the toy Sadie gifted is just too sweet-what a thoughtful girl she is!
You always seem to make the cutest gift baskets!
I love wedding fun, enjoy!
Love the beach read you packed in her basket! I love all of Sarah Jio’s books, especially The Bungalow 🙂
You always put together the cutest gift baskets! Have fun with all the wedding activities.
Your weekend sounds fun! We are off to shop for the last minute items my hubby needs for his upcoming Alaska hiking trip. Great workout too, I will be using that for sure 🙂 Have a great weekend!
I am fascinated by you always putting jelly on your egg sandwiches. I love sweet & salty together too, so I think I may have to try this! It looks weird, but I have been known to like weird concoctions!!
Oooo don’t you just love weddings? I can’t wait for my sister to get married and to throw here a huge bachelorette party. Summer time is always packed full of people I know getting married and it’s just such a joyous occasion. Have fun this weekend!
1. What a fun weekend, it sounds fabulous!
2. I am not even kidding when I say you should start a bridesmaids planning consulting business. I am always so inspired by the fun wedding related gifts, parties, and goodies you create!
For those of us who only wish we were as crafty, I can say I would certainly buy some of the things you come up with!
I just finished running and I can’t tell you how good that sandwich looks! Delicious! That basket is such a cute cute idea!! Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Ahhh I’m jealous! That seems SO fun! I just asked my bridesmaids to be in my wedding yesterday and they’re already excited for the bachelorette party! 😉 Have fun!!
Sounds fun and I hope your sister as dress luck. My cousin is getting married next August and thought she found ‘the dress’ only to be told after that it was discontinued and couldn’t be ordered in the colour she wanted :(. I felt so bad for her!!!
Woww so much fun you’re gonna have! Can’t wait to see the gowns 🙂
Love the bridesmaid gift! Have a great time! 🙂
Sounds like your in for a fun filled weekend! Love the workout! How long did the three rounds take? I tried the first Insanity workout on Thursday….still sore! It’s sort of similar interval training, you’d love it!
That basket is so cute, Julie! I would love to get one of those from my bridesmaids when I get married next August.
When you come back from your busy weekend would you mind sharing everything that is in there, some of it I can’t see!
Have a blast!
That gift is too adorable! You have so many cute, crafty gift ideas!
How do you get your eggs to look so delicious and fluffy?! Am I missing some amazing trick?! Mine always look like a mess….
Enjoy your weekend! Scalloping is SO MUCH FUN! You definitely need to try it sometime. My husband calls it a “snorkeling Easter egg hunt,” and that’s a perfect way to describe it.
When is your sister and Ross getting hitched?!?
I had an egg and cheese biscuit this morning + grape jelly. My favorite!! That bride-to-be box is adorable!! Sadie is so thoughtful to include her well-wishes (:
Loved the basket! It’s that time of year…I had two friends get married today!
How fun!! Have an amazing time this weekend!
I’m crossing my fingers hard that I get a package as cute as that for my hen do (bachelorette) next year! I love personal touches like that. Have fun at the party! 🙂
Wow! That’s so exciting! Anyway, I love the list of exercises. That’s really a great workout. I can’t wait to try it. 🙂
Strawberry jelly with the cheese and egg, huh? That’s a new one. I dig it. Sweet and savory.
Since I’ve read this post, I have been dying for that sandwich… it looks absolutely delicious. I think I know what I’ll be having for breakfast this week!
PS – crafty gifts are the best!
That is the cutest gift ever! Can’t wait to hear about your weekend and if Leslie found her dress!!
You my dear keep going to weddings!!!!!! They are typically really fun though, and you know what? I now want to watch 27 Dresses! lol
Love the basket! So cute and creative!!!
You are so inspirational. I look at your workouts and think.. I could never do that. Then I realize that I could do it… I just have to focus and get there!
I hope you enjoyed your beach day yesterday and are enjoying the dress shopping today! I love that you sent a gift box to Minda during the week before her bachelorette.
can’t wait to hear about the wedding dress shopping trip!
What an awesome bridesmaid gift idea! You have the best wedding/event gift ideas ever 🙂
