Good morning, friends!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  Last Thursday we headed down to Columbus Commons for the free downtown live concert and had an absolute blast!  Eleanor rode the carousel, we ate at the Paddy Wagon food truck, obviously stopped by our fave ice cream, Jeni’s, and listened to some awesome bands!  We didn’t quite make it to the Spikedrivers, who came on at 9, but there were other great bands that started around 5:30!  Bar and food trucks open at 5!

If you are in Columbus, be sure to stop by!  Here is the lineup for the next three weeks!

July 14: The Floorwalkers
July 21: The Conspiracy Band
July 28: Mojoflo

…and don’t forget there is still time to enter the Little Standout Giveaway!  Winner announced Friday!
Hope you all had a great weekend!

Good morning!  We spent the happiest day at the zoo yesterday!  It was the perfect temp and we got there in time to see Nora, the baby polar bear, who is only out for about an hour in the morning!  E also got to feed the giraffes, which again, we stumbled upon at just the perfect time!  Eleanor grabbed her Camera Teether and snapped the whole day!  She’s just the best.

Speaking of the best, these teethers are amazing.  They are so so easy for her to grab and to hang onto.  Another aspect I love is that it is easy for her to hold WHILE she gums it in her mouth.  With a lot of teethers it seems to be hard to accomplish both, especially having small enough parts that she can comfortably put in her mouth at this age.  Plus, aren’t they the cutest??

I am so excited to give away a $25 credit to one reader today!  Enter through the rafflecopter below!

…and in the meantime you can snag 15% off your purchase with code paris15!

Good luck and have a great weekend, friends!

IMG_0132IMG_0117IMG_0103IMG_0116IMG_0107IMG_0131IMG_0133Y’all if you live in Columbus and you have not gone to Pistacia Vera, you absolutely must.  Nat, E, and I stopped in last Saturday for a ladies’ brunch and to pick up a pistachio mascarpone dacquoise for E’s baptism!  We ordered my favorite croque monsieur and went with the pistachio, strawberries and cream, and cafe au lait macarons.  It’s what dreams are made of…and then Eleanor tried to rip one off our plates.

Can you tell we are loving Natalie being in town?

Today we are headed to the zoo and then to Columbus Commons for a free concert tonight!    If you are in Columbus, definitely stop by!
…and stay tuned tomorrow for a fun giveaway!

Hope you all have a great day!

Hi, friends!  Natalie is in town this whole week so to give her a taste of Columbus, we headed out to a picnic in the park! We stopped in Brown Bag Deli and then headed to Schiller Park across the street!  It is so so fun having Aunt Nennie in town!  Eleanor is all over the place and it is so nice to have an extra pair of hands for these little outings!

E and I are wearing our matching t-shirt and onesie from Clothe Ohio.  I just love this company.  Not only do they have the cutest Ohio apparel, they also are a company with heart.  For every purchase, they donate to an Ohioan in need of clothing.  Through the end of July they are offering you all free shipping with any purchase with code planningforparis!  We love our local businesses, especially ones that give back.

Stay tuned for more from Nat’s visit in the next few days!  Happy Wednesday!

Good morning, friends!  Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!  We spent the weekend celebrating our sweet pea and her special day at church!  Here are some snaps from the day!  We attended mass and then had a private ceremony shortly after.  She was an absolute angel at church!  I was super pumped that the baptism would be slightly before her normal nap time, but church and all the snuggles wore her out JUST in time for the ceremony.  Let’s just say the bonnet put her over the edge.  So she is screaming in almost every single picture of the baptism so we waited until after her 2.5 hour nap to take some more pictures!  The whole day was so beautiful and we are so so thankful for all the family that drove many miles to be here for her special day!

We love you so much, E!
