Life in Columbus: May

Oh, hey, summer!!! So happy you decided to make an appearance! 🙂 May was filled with lots of smiles from my little babe and adventures. I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Cheers to more sunshine and warm days coming our way!

^ I posted about A Day at Gateway earlier this month! Wearing: Topshop Tee // Madewell vest

^ Reagan’s mommy had puppies! Email me at girlaboutcolumbus@gmail.com if you’re interested in hearing more! The puppies are brown + black and adorable! Rug is from Lulu & Georgia!

^ Celebrated my first Mother’s Day with lil’ miss. This girl makes me smile so much everyday. (Ava’s shoes // Ava’s headband)

^ First Derby Day!!! We had fun actually dressing up for a party for it this year! My hat // Ava’s hat // Ava’s shoes (love this brand sooo much – they actually stay on her feet!!!)

^ Ava started rolling over on Cinco de Mayo and I couldn’t resist this pic because we have all of these holiday stickers that just must be documented. (Ava’s headband (so obsessed with all of these!) // Ava’s one piece // Ava’s shoes // Holiday stickers)

^ Grove City seriously stepped it up this month with the opening of the new Scioto Grove Metro Park. It’s just what Grove City needed.

^ Baby girl grew up so much this month. I can’t believe how quickly the time is starting to go. (Ava’s headband // Ava’s pants // Ava’s bib)

^ Finally had a date night with the hubby at our favorite: Martini Modern Italian! That Tenderloin!

^ A busy Saturday. My top (bonus: there’s also a maternity version!) // My lip color (so cheap from Target — color is “Cherish”).

^ A beautiful day at Easton Town Center. 🙂

^ Flowers for days at Strader’s. Wearing: My bag (also comes in a crossbody version) // Joe’s jeans

^ Couldn’t help but shop a few Memorial Day sales. In this pic: Sam Edelman sandals // J. Crew striped dress // Banana Republic violet tank // Banana Republic peplum top // Banana Republic ruffle top // J. Crew midi skirt

^ Shared a fun post about our excellent experience at Westerville’s Goldfish Swim School!  (Ava’s swimsuit).

^ Y’all should check out Red Twig Farms – their peony selection is well worth the trip to New Albany!

^ Thank YOU so much for voting me this year’s #2 Best Local Blogger in 614 Magazine’s ColumBEST Awards! I’m honored and love you for voting for me!!! 🙂 Wearing: Banana Republic top // Rebecca Minkoff bag // Gorjana necklace

^ Memorial Day weekend! Wearing: J. Crew skirt (new favorite item in my closet), Lilly Pulitzer top, Sole Society heeled sandals (Love. So comfy and will go with everything. Here’s the flat version) and Meijer bag. ^ I’m an Alchemy junkie at this point. I just love their entire menu!!! This is the Nutty Dragon bowl and the Lemon Cheesecake toast. Nic had the Roast beef sandwich! All are muy delicioso!
