Y’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!

blogger, brunch, Columbus

Good Morning! So, have I told you about the amazing group of ladies I have met via blogging in Columbus? These girls are such an amazing collection of talent and personality. I so look forward to our get togethers! This last weekend we met for brunch at Milestone 229–I was slightly late due to teaching Saturday school (excuse the hair), but it was seriously such a blast. There is just something so wonderful about meeting with likeminded people to discuss things you all truly care about.

To check out some of these fabulous bloggers head on over to Instagram and check out the hashtag #614bloggerbrunch. You won’t regret it!

AND and a huge thank you to our fabulous hosts, Candace, Anna, and Belinda!

Have a great day!
Erin

A little blogger get together at The Blowdry Cafe! Full of hairstyling, mimosas, and of course good company!

Finally got caught up on tons of snailmail!

Last weekend, Matt and I headed to The Columbus Food Truck Festival for some seriously good food. So many choices. All delicious.

It’s been busy around here lately. Carving out quiet moments are essential for me. I run around crazy all week trying to get it all done. A lazy Sunday morning makes it all worth it.

So what have you all been up to?

Hope you are all having a great week!

Good Morning! It finally officially feels like summer around here. Last week, I was definitely in recovery mode from the wedding. My morning cup of tea and a cute list pad were made for lazy days.

Last weekend, we drove home to Matt’s hometown and attended a friend’s beautiful outdoor wedding. It was a gorgeous day with friends and of course my dapper hubby!

We also spent time with family by the fire outside, drinking wine and telling stories. And then had a wonderful brunch on Sunday before heading out. Love that family of mine!!

This week has consisted mostly of catching up on my shows, Skyping with Nennie and opening our Birchboxes (feels good to have that girl back!! She’s not allowed to leave for a week again.) and having a little ‘me’ day out and about!

So there you have it! Life has definitely slowed down a bit and I am loving it. Plus, all the family time has definitely left me smiling! What have you all been up to?

Hope you all have a happy Thursday!
Erin

blogger, brunch, family, graduate, graduation, Weekend

Over the last week, Nick, Natalie, Tad, and Sarah–Matt and I’s sister–graduated! Nick graduated from the University of Arkansas and starts his first day of work at a golf course in Little Rock today! Natalie graduated from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences! She’s a doctor y’all! She’s headed down to Memphis today to sign on the house AND pick up their new puppy Graham! Tad received his MBA and Sarah graduated from Valparaiso University and is now a registered nurse! My sibs are the smartest. For sure.

Matt was out of town this last weekend for a bachelor party so I had the weekend to myself. I attended a Columbus blogger brunch and met some seriously fabulous bloggers! Feeling inspired by the event, I did some serious blog work over the weekend. The school year is winding down and I signed up for a maymester class (what is wrong with me!?) and obviously wedding plans are in full swing so I thought I would get ahead on some blog work and boy did I! I will be taking over blogging for awhile while Natalie gets her and Tad and now 2 puppies moved and married!
