Good morning!  Wanted to hop on this week to share with you a fun little local spot that we kind of just happened upon last weekend!  I’ve been to Scioto Audubon with my middle school students on a field trip (which they loved!), but I got a new perspective going with toddlers!

We were there for almost two hours and could have stayed for much longer!  Things for toddlers outside: trails, playground with music player (can be used as a coordinated dance things for older kids), gardens, and ponds.  But the great thing for this summer is the indoor activities at their nature center!  Every Thursday and Saturday at 10 they have a storytime, followed by a little showing of the turtles and snakes.  For older kids, you can bring your own equipment for the rock climbing wall or head down to the obstacle course.  They also have a water tower that you can go up and overlook the park!

This was also one of the mannnnnnny times we have been immensely thankful for our Double Stroller (which I did a full review of here, but had no idea how much we would use and how many comments we get about it!)  It is just perfect for zipping around–double strollers can get bulky and overwhelming, but this one is slim and can fit on trails without being obnoxious.

What should we do next?!  We have two weekends of stuff planned, but we have the whole summer ahead and are looking for ideas!!  I LOVE SUMMER!!

Hope you all have a great week!
Erin

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!
Erin

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

*I was sent this necklace to review, but all opinions, as always, are my own.

Columbus Flea!

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

20140807-070551-25551460.jpg

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!
Erin
