Life Lately: November

I feel like I say this every month, but wow! November really flew by. I’ll be honest though, November is not my favorite month. By the end of or even mid-month, the pretty leaves have fallen to the ground, there’s a (quite brisk) chill in the air, and it gets dark oh-too-soon. Winter is well on its way or some say it’s already here. But I do love the last few days of the month: Thanksgiving, putting up holiday decorations, spending time with family and friends. Yep, there is something special about this time of year. Happy Holidays!

snow-on-branches-columbus-ohio

{ Couldn’t resist stealing an iPhone shot of the first snow… and the beautiful cotton candy sunset. }

blonde-maltipoo-puppy

{ Big news for those of you that don’t follow along on Instagram: Nic and I got another Maltipoo. Reagan is 3/4 toy poodle and 1/4 maltese. And the sweetest thing ever. My other maltipoo, Lincoln, is 4 and we’ve always wanted to get a playmate for him because he adores other dogs and has a lot of energy/playfulness still. Reagan has been a perfect match for Lincoln and for us, so far! If you have any advice on potty training, I’ll take it though because it’s been a bit more difficult for her than it was for Lincoln. Fingers crossed she “gets it” soon! }

wine-night-target-leggings

{ This was just taken last night, after Nic and I put up on Christmas tree that looks itty bitty now that we have a house and not a small apartment. I couldn’t have been happier to just lounge around with Nic, the pups, on the couch… watching movies and enjoying the tree. This tells me I’m getting a bit older. 🙂 Oh and  few of you had a question about the leggings? You can find them HERE – they’re from Target! }

ohio-patagonia-south-america

{ How amazing is this photo? When my BFF, Katy, posted this shot to Instagram, I knew that I had to re-gram it! It’s so awesome! This photo was taken in Patagonia (South America) while Katy and her fiance, Seamus, were visiting Alison and Brian, an Ohio couple that quit their jobs to travel the world over the past year! So cool – you can read all about their travels on their blog, Beaches and Backpacks.

{ This Big and Little’s Craft Donuts donut tasted as amazing as it looks – Fruity Pebbles, yes please! I picked this up at The Hills Market in Worthington but I know that they sell them every Saturday at the Powell Farmer’s Market. }

ohio-state-game-day-look

{ A game day look. I’m obsessed with this blanket scarf from guess again: Target. It is the softest scarf I own plus the colors are perfect for OSU fans! Would make a great present. }

greater-columbus-antique-mall-columbus-ohio

    I have the same silverware as your mom. I received mine from my grandma as they were hers to begin with. 🙂

E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
