Last week Fourteen Twenty Nine and I hosted a wonderful date night experience at Coffee Connections where we paired the delicious brownies from Fourteen Twenty Nine with coffee from Coffee Connections along with intentional conversations starters.  Events like these really fill my heart with so much joy because I truly love meeting each and everyone of you and if I can do that while also supporting local businesses it’s EVEN better.

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you know that last week we hopped in the car and drove 2 hours and 48 minutes to the Spangler Candy Factory for a unique day trip.  I had always heard it was in northern Ohio but was never quite adventurous enough to take the trip by myself.  Luckily a friend of mine also wanted to check it out so we decided to make it an adventure and the kids LOVED it.

A little over a year ago I shared a list of awesome mother/daughter date ideas and I’ve been meaning to write this mother/son date list ever since but...life.  So today I’m sharing some of my son’s favorite places to go when it’s just him and I. Spending special one on one time with my kids is so important to me, and now it’s something my kids count on so I have a feeling we will be adding a Volume 2 of this list sooner than later.  

I used Tillamook Ice Cream and it was a huge hit.  I had a few people ask me if this is the same Tillamook that is known for their cheeses and I was happy to report that it is the same Tillamook.  They have a reputation for quality products and are definitely known for their delicious cheese and their ice cream is that same high quality product.  You can find Tillamook Ice Cream locally at Kroger and Walmart SuperCenter.

While there are so many reasons to visit Clean Juice, I’m going to share my top three with you.  Maybe we’ll save the rest for the next blog post.

Last week I headed to the newest Olentangy High School to get a firsthand look at the football clinic being put on by Joshua Perry and the Joshua Perry Foundation.  When I pulled up I could immediately felt the energy of the camp, everyone was so happy and excited to be there.  I grabbed a water bottle from M/I Homes and headed out onto the field to meet Joshua Perry and his family.  

Each fun run has it's own special theme which makes it more exciting and fun for the kids - including the Dash for Donation where mascots from all over come and run the race with the kids, or the Frog Jog at the Columbus Zoo.  Take a look at the list below - I've included pricing, dates, time, and if there's extra special stuff I've included that too.  

These party time sliders are great to make when your short on time and need to throw something together or if you want your dish to be the hit of the party.  You can grab the ingredient list below and then watch the video to see how we put it altogether.  

Just last year I was introduced to one of the coolest businesses in Columbus, Miss Em’s.  Miss Em’s is a local jewelry boutique that specializes in pop up shops, house calls, online fundraisers, and even Facebook parties.  Miss Em’s makes it easy for you to get affordable pieces at your convenience.
