I love warm weather + I loved May! What a great, beautiful, busy month! I closed on my first house EVER with my husband on the 30th & couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter in our lives! Lots of renovations are in order & I will continue to update you all via the blog + Instagram re: the house progress. p.s. If you don’t already, you can follow me on Instagram HERE. I enjoy Instagram + the fact that it is so visual so I post on there quite frequently… Here are a few of my shots from this month:

^My momma makes the best salad ever – I mean, how pretty is this?!

^The Pint House (in the Short North) continues to be one of my fave spots ever to grab a drink… it always fits my mood. This pic was from the Epic Brewing tap takeover night.

^Ah! You all… thank you so much for voting me #3 Best Local Blogger in 614 Magazine’s ColumBEST Awards! I am so honored!!!

^a lil’ piece of the south in Columbus… The Pearl makes me reminisce about Charleston every time I go here… everything on the menu is GREAT!

^the sweetest lil’ mural downtown!

^I was so excited to be invited to the grand opening of Athleta at Easton! p.s. Everything is sooo cute!

^Strader’s is my go-to for all gardening supplies!

^So many Essie polishes from Meijer 🙂 – I can’t get enough of the Essie Nail Polish Go Ginza #825 !

^Igloo Letterpress’s Snow House Gift Shop in Worthington is definitely worth a visit!

^Enjoyed a Columbus Crew game with OhioHealth this month!

^I love my mommma & this picture – had to share on Mother’s Day!

^I have a feeling I’m going to frequently Peacock Lane Home in Worthington when I start decorating my new home!

^So many pretty Pantone colors @ Lowe’s!

^The local Igloo Letterpress company is so spot on with all of their paper products – I love this print featuring Yoko!

^The new REI store is now open at Easton!

^Such signs that I should plan a lil’ vacay – I received all of these on one day this month! p.s. the JRJ Nail Polish is made right here in Westerville!

^Daniel Burnham is my fave architect. Think NYC’s Flatiron building, DC’s Union Station, and Columbus’s Union Station (ya know, the awesome arch by Nationwide)! So, naturally, this quote is awesome! I found it the entryway to Meleca Architecture, Inc..

^Taking advantage of the sunshine… with my first batch of sweet tea of the season + a good mag. Essie Nail Polish Go Ginza #825 is the color on my toes!

^Noticed these floors while shopping @ Easton – love the color for our future floor (carpet is being ripped out)!

^I’m a sucker for Throwback Thursday … decided to share this lil’ pic of my lil’ man & I at our old apartment at the Flats on Vine!

^So much fun deciding on paint colors for the new home! We are literally painting every.square.inch. of the place!

^my bro & sis in the law gave my husband & I these BEAUTIFUL peonies as a lil’ housewarming gift – I had a lot of questions about where these came from – check out Red Twig Farms at the Worthington Farmer’s Market!
