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!! Today, I am so excited to share with you a shop that is based here in Columbus, The Jones Market! I have admired this shop’s aesthetic and cheery posts over on Instagram for years. Her pieces are designed with mamas and babies in mind, but are truly beautiful pieces for anyone! Candis, founder and owner, spent years researching and designing the perfect pieces to allow babies to tug and bite away while still maintaining the look of the piece. She began by designing for her friends and word of mouth in 2011 and quickly realized how many mamas wanted something that was not only stylish, but also functional.

When this beauty arrived, I could hardly get it out of the package before E had it in her mouth. The bright color immediately caught her eye and she had to have it. Normally, when I am wearing a necklace I have to fight it away from her because she always wants to put it in her mouth, but this non-toxic gem is perfect for her constant teething needs! It also kept her occupied so that I could carry her in my Solly which has become a struggle with this on the go baby. And you can adjust the length, so I lengthened it to distract my little wiggle worm during diaper changes and feedings. Small miracles, people.

Overall, I cannot say enough good things about this shop! In addition to the one I am wearing, I also love:

Petite Double Infinity in Lemon + Speckled Cream
Keychain Wristlet in Almond + B&W Stripe + Aqua Tassel
Petite Beaded Infinity Scarf in Dark Chocolate and Sailing Stripe
Petite Double Infinity in Almond + Black and White Stripe

These would make the perfect shower gift for mamas to be or to treat yourself to something pretty in the name of #summerofglam. And bonus: Candis is offering 10% off today to celebrate the launch of her new summer line for the readers of this here blog with code: PARIS

Let me know what you snag–I am positive you will love it!
Have a happy day!
Erin

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

Good morning! Exciting news!! Class Pass has finally arrived in Columbus! I have been hearing about Class Pass from my Chicago friends and was so jealous! I nearly squealed when I heard it was coming here!

So what is Class Pass? Class Pass is an alternative gym membership. It allows you to have unlimited access to hundreds of classes in your area for only $79/month. You can go to pretty much any studio in your area up to three times per month. I seriously cannot get enough. I have gone somewhere new almost every day since they launched at the end of December. I have never felt better.

Typical gyms can only offer one class at a time, maybe two. I can go onto my Class Pass and have about 5 or 6 classes every hour that I can choose from. I have done Barre, TRX, Lagree, Yoga, Piyo, and Crossfit. Their dashboard is super easy to use and it tells you everything you need to know about the class before you go.

To say I’m obsessed is an understatement and so is the rest of Columbus. There is already a waitlist. BUT if you sign up through this link, you can skip the waitlist and receive a $50 credit (this week only)! Not in Columbus? No fear! Just go here to see a full list of cities which include DC, Atlanta, Charlotte, Portland, and more!! And an awesome feature is that once you sign up, you can use that same membership in any city Class Pass is offered!

So get out there and start #livingthesweatylife!

Happy Tuesday, friends!
Erin

Brim Papery, Columbus, craft beer, flea, local, Stationery, summer

Good morning!! Today, I wanted to share a little Columbus gem. Over the weekend, Matt and I headed to The Columbus Flea. It was so fun! It was held at Seventh Son Brewery –which is known for it’s amazing craft brews and food truck scene. In addition to amazing food and drinks, The Columbus Flea had stalls set up both outside and inside the brewery.

Before we got there, I warned Matt that I would be on the hunt for one stall in particular. Jolie of Brim Papery is an amazing artist and I could not wait to meet her in person. Her tent was seriously amazing. I scored this and this, but seriously had to restrain myself from buying every single thing.

Seriously, check her out! And if you are in the Columbus area, check out The Columbus Flea Blog for dates on the next flea!

Happy Thursday!
