A Place for Curiosity, Connection + Real Life
614 Mom is a place to explore what makes life feel more meaningful, interesting, and connected.
You’ll find thoughtful Columbus experiences, stories about the people behind local businesses, honest reflections on motherhood, creative rabbit holes, mindfulness, energy work, and plenty of things I’m still figuring out as I go.
“I believe curiosity is one of the most powerful ways we connect: to our city, to one another, and to ourselves.”
— Eryn Gilson, Founder
I’m Eryn Gilson, aka 614 Mom
I’m a mom of four, storyteller, creative strategist, certified meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, and enthusiastic collector of hobbies I may or may not finish.
I’ve always loved discovering the story behind a place, a person, or an idea. I want to know who created it, what inspired them, what makes it different, and why it matters. That curiosity is what first led me to share hidden gems around Columbus, and it is still at the heart of everything I create here.
These days, you’ll find me exploring with my family, learning something new, photographing ordinary moments, talking to local business owners, painting something questionable, or following a completely unexpected rabbit hole.
I Created 614 Mom to Make Room for All of It
Motherhood is part of who I am, but it is not the only interesting thing about me. I wanted to create a space that could hold the family adventures and the personal growth. The local stories and the inner work. The practical resources, creative experiments, honest conversations, and small moments of joy.
It is an invitation to explore your city, stay curious, try something new, connect more deeply, and notice the life already happening around you.
You are welcome to take what fits, leave what does not, and come back whenever something here feels useful, interesting, or familiar.
Let’s Create Something Worth Sharing
I love finding something wonderful and immediately thinking, more people need to know about this.
Maybe it’s a small business with a story worth telling, an experience our family genuinely loved, or something that made everyday life a little better. The best partnerships feel natural, personal, and genuinely exciting to share. I take the time to understand what makes something special, then tell that story in a way that feels honest and human. If that sounds like the kind of collaboration you’re looking for, I would love to connect.
