Life Lately: July

Sooo, Summer finally decided to make an appearance in Ohio in July + I couldn’t have been happier! Our beautiful city is just so much more photogenic when it’s not raining 😉 I have so many more things I want to do in warmer weather – I haven’t even scratched the surface with exploring farmer’s markets, cooking out, riding bikes, shopping… the list goes on! I’m looking ahead to August + it’s going to be so fun + busy: Birthday parties, bridal showers, weddings, and a weekend trip to NYC to visit friends! I hope you had a great month! Here’s a few of my snaps lately:

^ Barcelona in German Village has arguably one of the best patios in Columbus. Nic and I had a delicious dinner with our Aunt and Uncle here!

^ We kicked off July with a bang: Nic + I spent the 4th at Norris Lake in Tennessee with great friends for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party!

^ Marcella’s Happy Hour is THE best!!!

^ Made a couple of trips to Haiku for sushi this month! I just can’t get enough of their patio!

^ Rocket Fizz Soda Pop & Candy Shop looks so cool – it’s across the street from Northstar on High Street!

^ Northstar Cafe never disappoints. My go-to meal is the Buddha Bowl + a Shooting Star.

^ Succulents galore at Dill’s Greenhouse.

^ Shopping trip in Canal Winchester – such a fun little town just outside of Columbus! If you go, be sure to eat at Harvest Moon Cafe!

^ My little Rea Rea (aka Reagan LOL) just keeps getting cuter and cuter… now if she could only step up on her potty training game…

^ I found a tomato rainbow in my backyard + couldn’t resist this shot!

^ The Pinnacle in Grove City is so pretty. I’ve been to a few weddings here and they’re always stunning if you’re looking for a spot 😉

^ An awesome meal for Restaurant Week at Cimi’s Bistro with one of my BFF’s!

^ Seriously, this day couldn’t have been any prettier. So happy to see blue skies and no rain.

^ Quick shopping trip to Easton Town Center, my favorite mall in Columbus!

^ Spotted so many pretty flowers on my lunch break!

^ A gorgeous weekend at Snagmaster’s in beautiful Southern Ohio.

^ Gorgeous blooms I picked up at Blossoms at the Bend.

^ So happy to be out in the Short North… on a Tuesday! My dress is Free People (and on sale… you can find more sizes here!).

Happy 3rd Birthday to my baby girl!!! 🤍✨🤍 Happy 3rd Birthday to my baby girl!!! 🤍✨🤍
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
