January: Life Lately

JANUARY: The big event this month? My little baby turned ONE!!! We had the best time at her party and were so thankful for all the love we received from family and friends. We also were able to get out and explore a bit more than normal, which is rare for January! We checked out both the AHA! Children’s Museum in Lancaster and we bought a season pass to COSI, which is well worth the price if you go just a couple of times a year!

Winter Onederland 1st birthday^^ Sooo excited to eat that cake! I plan on sharing more photos from her Winter Onderland themed-party soon! ((Ava’s birthday hat))
^^ I’ve been putting together 10 Things to Do in Charleston for quite some time and I finally shared it on the blog! I love to share travel posts in January, when I’m typically thinking about warm weather on the reg.

beauty buys^^ I rounded up my very favorite beauty products that I used daily in 2016 in this post!

^^ Telling my girl she’s about to meet her new baby cousin at OSU Medical Center! Obviously she was excited! Oh and side note – Pistacia Vera offers the cutest little macaron gift boxes! ((Ava’s: Dress // Bow // Moccasins (currently on sale for $9!))

^^ Craving Marcella’s happy hour // We explored the AHA! Children’s Museum in Lancaster & will be going back soon! ((Ava’s: Bow))

^^ Yay for warm park Saturdays in January! ((Ava’s: Coat, jeans))

Pistacia Vera croissants^^ Pistacia Vera croissants are the best. This is one of my favorite places in Columbus and feel like I share it all the time on Instagram!

    I am so glad that you posted about Pistacia Vera-it’s my favorite place in Columbus! Whenever I have company over, I take them there. It consistently is a win! My favorite are the Lavender Shortbread Cookies when they are in season 🙂

    P.S. Congrats on your baby turning one!

    We took our son to Aha! on his first birthday (1/23). He had a blast! Will probably get a membership since we live about 15 minutes from it. Can’t wait for them to build a bigger place 🙂

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
