Dear Monday | July | 614 Mom
Dear Monday,
It's crazy how fast the weeks have been flying by. It seems like every Monday, I'm reminded that soon school will start and while I'm excited to see my two oldest kiddos off making new friends and enjoying school, I'm sad because time is just moving so fast.
COSI | Little Kidspace® | 614 Mom
I have a list of what I like to call "The Columbus Staples", on that list are the spots in Columbus that you can count on everyday. You are always guaranteed a good time and Columbus wouldn't be the same without them. On that list is one of our favorite places ever - COSI. My kids are obsessed with COSI, they would happily go every single day if our schedule allowed. From the little kidspace® to the Planetarium and everything in between, my kids are always happy when we're there.

IKEA Opens In Columbus | June 2017
My husband went with me to the media preview and he instantly fell in love. I think the breakfast got his attention but the prices sold him. He was taking photos and grabbing booklets of his favorite things, telling me that there were things I just HAD to see! You should know my husband is super frugal - and while I love to save money (it's like a game to me), at the end of the day, I want what I want. IKEA mixes both of our worlds together for this stage in our life.
