An Afternoon Out
A wonderful weekend afternoon with Janine. Thrifting + taco truck!
What are you favorite things to do on a weekend afternoon?
Columbus
Doo Dah
I attended my first Doo DahParade this year on the 4th. It was fabulous.
Homeversary
Today marks two years that I’ve been here in Columbus, Ohio and I couldn’t be happier about the city that I choose to call home. I grew up in Illinois and so Ohio never really crossed my radar until Adam got a job here before we got engaged. I’m not an expert when it comes to Ohio as a state but Columbus is exceptionally wonderful. The food culture is outstanding, it’s a city that appreciates creativity and the arts, and I still get to experience all four seasons. Win!
I Need a Favor
Would you do me and my friend Elizabeth a favor? Would you vote for our logo? If we make it into the top 5, it goes to a panel and we could win 3 months worth of local produce! You can choose to give us 5 votes per email address and voting ends on Wednesday. We’re in 6th place so please help bump us up to 5th (or heck, even 1st!).
Team Cbus – Chevy SXSW Road Trip Challenge
I’m excited to be working with Team Cbus. What’s #teamcbus? Here’s a little excerpt from their website:
What’s better than five friends in a car?
Five friends in a Chevy, on their way to South by Southwest in Austin, TX competing against 10 other teams across North America, and doing work from some non-profits along the way.
Make it even better if the five friends are fiercely loyal to their hometown, and you’ve got yourself a show.
We are Team Cbus, and never have we been more proud to represent our city. We are a city of entrepreneurs, start-ups, and art. We like it homegrown, homemade, and homespun. We like our restaurants to be owned by our friends, our ice creams to come straight from our cows to our cones, and our beer to be micro-brewed.
I’ve been working on their logo and graphics for their website and I’m so excited to see what amazing things they accomplish.

#calendargirls
Since December I’ve been busy with an amazing group of women, creating a product, planning an event, and bringing about support for the Epilepsy Foundation. The Twitter community in Columbus is amazing and in late 2010, a bunch of us decided that we wanted to make a calendar and ultimately sell them and donate our proceeds to an organization. One of our beautiful #calendargirls is epileptic and we decided to bring about awareness for epilepsy. Since then we’ve created our calendar, launched our event, and are still accepting donations! You can visit our website here and either buy a calendar (it ships to you) or donate an amount. I feel honored to be a part of this and I see the #calendargirls doing many more great things in 2011.
Daily Occurrences
Lately: Dirty Franks, beautiful sunsets, and a new (vintage) ring.
