Life Lately: February

January was amazing. February was definitely less than. While I don’t go into very many personal issues on GAC, this month was personally rough and I’m glad it’s over. With Spring on the horizon, all I can do is look forward and while it’s usually my normal state of mind, I’ve had to remind myself that the glass is half full on numerous occasions lately. You could say I’m a bit over February but I tried to enjoy it the best that I could. Here are some of my Insta snaps from this brutally cold month:::

^ Sunny but cold. That’s how I’ll remember this month.

^ So many pretty flowers were on display in Kroger everytime I went grocery shopping!

^ CornerSmith’s in Canal Winchester has some great, unique Ohio home buys.

^ Lots & lots of M&M’s consumed… oops!

^ Some February favorites: This strawberries & lilac candle from the local Candle with a Cause + this Gorjana circle necklace from ShopBop.

^ A lil’ excited to be on my way to Oxford for a college reunion/Bachelorette party. Wearing my Forever 21 Pink Faux Leather Jacket (only $18!).

^ Laying out a future gallery wall. The letter H is Marquee from Elm & Iron and the picture frames are from Target.

^ The combo of roses and a Blue mason jar has to be one of my favorites.

^ Starting my day with a smoothie helps me eat healthy all day.

^ Columbus Commons made my day with this sweet poem + Jeni’s Trio Card that I will be using ASAP. Thank you!

^ For Valentine’s Day on Insta, I shared this photo from our engagement shoot nearly 3 years ago with Red Gallery Photography in the Short North. It’s fun to look back at these photos because I definitely have new favorites with this one being one!

^ Lucky girl on Valentine’s Day 🙂

^ I visited Fox in the Snow Cafe for the first time this month and posted about it.

^ The start of this snowy madness.

^ I found this painting @ TJ Maxx for $19.99! A total score in my book.

^ So cold but so pretty.

^ Girl Scout cookies are an excellent attempt at making February more bearable!

^ Snowed in with a berry good smoothie. Recipe is coming to the blog super soon!

^ Loving Clothe Ohio – you can find the black + red version of this off-the-shoulder sweatshirt here.

^ Best friends are the best. This candle smells exactly like fresh roses.

    February is just one of those months that are more or less blasé! March will be better for everyone, and I hope it is more than amazing for you!!

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
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
