Stumbled upon @parisbaguette.cbus at @eastontownct Stumbled upon @parisbaguette.cbus at @eastontownctr yesterday! ๐ŸŒŸ Did you know they have more than 4,000 locations across the globe? ๐Ÿคฏ 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. ๐Ÿฐ 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. โ˜•๏ธ

Pro tip: You grab a tray and walk around cafeteria style to choose what you want, but be warnedโ€”everything is soooo pretty itโ€™s hard to say no! ๐Ÿ˜

Our picks:
๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ“Rainbow Cake Slice: Layers of rainbow cake with soft cream, topped with fresh strawberry. 
๐ŸคคJumbo Twisted Donut: Chewy donut with crunchy rice topping and cinnamon sugar. 
๐ŸฅHam & Cheese Pastry: Buttery pastry baked with ham, Swiss, and parmesan cheeses. 
โ˜•๏ธ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 Iโ€™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! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿช‘
Check out @butterflyboutiquegc, a fairly new gem i 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! ๐ŸŒผโœจ๐ŸŒธ

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

โ–ถ๏ธ 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! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’

 And itโ€™s not just flowers! โœจ @butterflyboutiquegc features local goodies from other amazing women-owned businesses. Think honey, cards, candles, shirts, art, and more. Plus, thereโ€™s an adorable kidsโ€™ area with all things butterflies and fairies. We even got the cutest fairy door and wands! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿงš

If youโ€™re in Grove City, youโ€™ve got to visit @butterflyboutiquegc. Trust me, youโ€™ll fall in love with this place! ๐ŸŒธโœจ

Since we werenโ€™t in a rush this time, we stopped at the @smithfarm_wittens Farm Market in the parking lot. WOW! The blackberries ๐Ÿซ TASTE AMAZING!!!! Probably the best I have ever had. We couldnโ€™t pass on the watermelon ๐Ÿ‰, tomatoes ๐Ÿ…, or blueberries ๐Ÿซ either. They have a two-for-four-dollar cantaloupe special going on, but the cantaloupes ๐Ÿˆ hadnโ€™t showed up just yet! I know they have to be delicious.

1๏ธโƒฃ Start at Fryer Park: ๐ŸŒณ This park has a super fun playground and splash pad! If your kiddos โค๏ธ climbing, this place is a total gem. There are climbing opportunities for all skill levels and some seriously fun slides! ๐Ÿ› 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.

2๏ธโƒฃ Head over the hill to the splash pad: ๐Ÿ’ฆ Cool off in the space-themed splash pad! Itโ€™s out of this world! ๐ŸŒŒ

๐Ÿ• Riley had the cheesiest, most delicious Kidโ€™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.
