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! 🙂

    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!
