Let’s Do Brunch Columbus!

let's do brunch Columbus

A few months into my blogging career, I started searching for blogger meetups in the Central Ohio area and to my surprise found absolutely nothing. Luckily I found two other bloggers who felt the same way, and for the past couple months Rachel, Allie, and I have been working to create a real life blogging community in Columbus, called Let’s Do Brunch. Our main goal is to create an inclusive community that welcomes all bloggers of all blog types and experience.

Our inaugural event is Sunday, November 18 at Brother’s Drake Meadery. Check out our website for more information and rsvp to the event on facebook so we know how many places to set!

If you are a blogger in the Central Ohio Area (or want to come to Columbus that weekend) we hope you can make it!

Painted Pumpkin Roundup

October 19, 2012

Last week I did this painted pumpkin tutorial for Petit Elefant. Super fun right? But holy crap there are so many fun no-carve pumpkin ideas out there, I thought I should round up a few more for you.

DIY Painted Pumpkin Roundup

 

one // Love the glitter on Ciera from Ciera Design’s version

two // Isn’t it amazing how putting pumpkins on a stand can make them so much cooler? Oh, and don’t forget to paint them pink, too. via Chatelaine

three // Oh my Gosh I love Sibylle’s hot pink ombre pumpkin. So fun. via Funkytime

Want something fun to do this weekend? There is still time for more pumpkin decorating before Halloween!

Happy Friday 🙂

[color love] October

October Colors :: Stuff Steph Does

Have I said yet how much I love October? I do. I absolutely love it.

Not only because its my birthday month, (which is a bonus, but I still think October would take the cake even if I was born another time) but because the weather is perfect; the temperature is finally consistently cooler (unlike September which tricks you into thinking fall is coming with a 65 degree day then BOOM 90 degrees and humid the next day) and its still sunny outside.

Then there’s the COLORS. Absolutely beautiful colors. How can you not want to spend as much time as possible outdoors soaking up  the gorgeous hues of all the trees? The leaves give the world a wonderful bold farewell before everything seems to turn grey for the next 4 months.

Of course this is all based on Ohio autumns, but doesn’t it sound lovely? Half of October has already flown by so make sure to spend some time outside enjoying the beauty of the season before Winter takes over.
