Stumbled upon @parisbaguette.cbus at @eastontownct

Stumbled upon @parisbaguette.cbus at @eastontownctr yesterday! 🌟 Did you know they have more than 4,000 locations across the globe? 🤯 Not a new concept but definitely a delicious one!

They fuse Parisian & Korean flavor profiles and pastry techniques, offering gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing desserts that taste incredible. 🍰 Sweet options include yogurt cakes, berry pastries, and cookie butter latte cream donuts. On the savory side, they offer ham & cheese croissants, crab meat croquettes, hash brown bread, and caramelized onion & bacon quiches. Not to mention an entire gourmet sandwich and salad selection, along with teas, coffee, and decadent lattes. ☕️

Pro tip: You grab a tray and walk around cafeteria style to choose what you want, but be warned—everything is soooo pretty it’s hard to say no! 😍

Our picks:
🌈🍓Rainbow Cake Slice: Layers of rainbow cake with soft cream, topped with fresh strawberry.
🤤Jumbo Twisted Donut: Chewy donut with crunchy rice topping and cinnamon sugar.
🥐Ham & Cheese Pastry: Buttery pastry baked with ham, Swiss, and parmesan cheeses.
☕️Salted Caramel Sweet Cream Cold Brew: Sweet Cream Cold Brew topped with a Salted Caramel Drizzle.

We visited on a busy day, so we picked quickly, but I’d love to go on a less busy day (maybe not a Saturday) to take it all in! Have you been? The patio is lovely! 🌸🪑

Check out @butterflyboutiquegc, a fairly new gem in Grove City! Step into a world where fresh blooms meet retail bliss and garden decor sparks inspiration. This place is seriously a floral wonderland! 🌼✨🌸

We had the best time exploring their beautiful shop. I was blown away by the variety of flowers—real, artificial/decor, hanging from the ceiling, you name it. I wanted to leave with all the bouquets!

▶️ They even do weddings and special events, plus flower arranging classes both on-site and off-site, where you can learn to craft your own stunning bouquets and more. Perfect for a fun outing with friends or a unique private event! 🌸💐

And it’s not just flowers! ✨ @butterflyboutiquegc features local goodies from other amazing women-owned businesses. Think honey, cards, candles, shirts, art, and more. Plus, there’s an adorable kids’ area with all things butterflies and fairies. We even got the cutest fairy door and wands! 🦋🧚

If you’re in Grove City, you’ve got to visit @butterflyboutiquegc. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with this place! 🌸✨

We had to pick up a few things at @schooldaysuniforms in Gahanna. Since we weren’t in a rush this time, we stopped at the @smithfarm_wittens Farm Market in the parking lot. WOW! The blackberries 🫐 TASTE AMAZING!!!! Probably the best I have ever had. We couldn’t pass on the watermelon 🍉, tomatoes 🍅, or blueberries 🫐 either. They have a two-for-four-dollar cantaloupe special going on, but the cantaloupes 🍈 hadn’t showed up just yet! I know they have to be delicious.

▶️ Open Mon-Fri: 9am-7pm
▶️ Sun: 9am-6pm
📍 Location: 380 Agler Rd., Gahanna, OH

Three Awesome Spots to Spend the Afternoon in Grov

Three Awesome Spots to Spend the Afternoon in Grove City with Your Kiddos! 🎉

1️⃣ Start at Fryer Park: 🌳 This park has a super fun playground and splash pad! If your kiddos ❤️ climbing, this place is a total gem. There are climbing opportunities for all skill levels and some seriously fun slides! 🛝 The giant tower in the middle is a must-see. It has multiple climbing levels, including shorter ladders inside that lead to different platforms until you reach the top! Plus, there are shaded picnic spots and swings for when you need a break.

2️⃣ Head over the hill to the splash pad: 💦 Cool off in the space-themed splash pad! It’s out of this world! 🌌

3️⃣ Pack up and head down the street to @strawserscandy for ice cream:🍦 From ice cream nachos and tacos to cotton candy burritos and giant ice cream sandwiches, they’ve got it all! Sundaes with tons of toppings, or just grab a scoop of your favorite flavor. They also have water ice and lots of candy choices! Oh, and 4 sugar cones were under $12!! 🍬

📍Fryer Park: 3899 Orders Road, Grove City, OH, 43123

📍 @strawserscandy: 4026 Broadway, Grove City, OH 43123

When you hit up @worthingtontavern , definitely grab a spot on the cute patio in the back! 🌿 Riley and I loved our cozy side-by-side table for dinner.

🍕 Riley had the cheesiest, most delicious Kid’s Cheese Pizza, and I went all out with the saucy OKC Smash Burger - two smashed patties, tavern sauce, American cheese, charred & pickled onion, shredded lettuce, pickles, and of course, bacon. Both with fries because, duh, they’re sooooo good! 🍟

Kid’s meals are a great deal, priced between $7 and $9, and they include a side and a drink – definitely a good amount of food! 🙌

Happy Hour is a must: Mon-Wed 4-6 PM, and on Thursday and Friday, it starts early at 2 PM and goes until 6 PM. 🕑 $7 wine pours, $9 specialty cocktails, 1/2 off drafts, $12 pizzas, $2.50 oysters. Cheers to great deals! 🍻

Find them at 671 High St, Worthington, OH 43085. And good news – there’s a parking lot behind! 🚗

Don’t be a hater! 🍕🫒🍍 Green olives and pineapple totally belong on pizza. I mean, can anything from @jts_pizzapub be ‘bad’? We have family in town, so we just had to introduce her to it! 🎉
