Ohio-based Lifestyle, Home, and Travel Blog by Amanda Hamman

About GAC

Hi, I’m so happy to see you here!  I’m Amanda!

I have a thing for beautiful spaces + places! I’m also a 30-something Midwestern mama to two busy toddlers! I love coming up with fun things to do or make with my girls! Some of my fave things EVER include making my home as cozy as possible, planting as many hydrangeas in my garden as I can, exploring charming places with a camera in hand, jamming out to Today’s Top Hits on Spotify, and, occasionally, devouring chocolate ice cream… with brownies mixed in! 🙂

If you’re interested in working together, I’ve has partnered with many outstanding brands such as Macy’s, Chicwish, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Amazon, Evereve, Shopbop, Ohio Tourism, Meijer, Big Lots, Old Navy, COSI, Nationwide Insurance, Allegiant Air, Miracle-Gro, Morris Home Furniture, Bob Evans, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, and more!

    Hi! My sister and I are from Columbus too! I’m in Dublin and she is now in North Carolina but we write a fashion and lifestyle blog together. You have fabulous pictures and I love seeing where you have ventured to! On your collaboration page is a gorgeous necklace. Is that a local find? What area of Columbus are you in? Maybe we could meet for coffee sometime or touch base through email. I’d love to discuss any tips you have on blogging! Or if you know of any Columbus Blogger Meet-ups!
