Inspired by true events on movie screens

Today we spent the morning at SKREENED making cool t-shirts for some Christmas presents! Dude. I am wicked lucky to have the Skreened shop in my town.
I have talked about my love for them before. They are awesome shirts and the staff is wonderful! They played with my kids and made us feel really at home today!

Daniel Fox is such a cool kid and we have recently met in real life! (we used to just be twitter pals) We were both featured on a local morning show recently as local entrepreneurs. I adore him and he was cool enough to give me some gift certificates to pass on to my readers.

LISTEN UP- SKREENED is my local yokel- but it is a worldwide website that ya'll should be using. Ethical Custom Apparel YO!

So go over to skreened and tell me a cool t-shirt design you love and I will draw 5 winners tonight at 10pm for 5 buck gift cards. ( and the prices are already amazing for American Apparel tees) Just in time for the holidays. (leave me yr email!)
You can now go make that "I love my liberal hooker mommy" tee for yr friends kid or the quintessential Obama sweatshirt or any custom thing you love! So cool.

Also- I wandered by Seagull bags today too. Really cool and authentic radness going on there.
Loving Columbus today xo

When every single word makes sense

That photo is one of the many many
hung up in my local Starbucks
today...customers coming in to say goodbye.

Our local Starbucks is closing. Cutbacks. Blah Blah Blah. It was one of the best Starbucks ever!The folks were amazing and I swear to God they all liked their job and worked with such style and passion. They were master Barista's!
I am serious.
It was my haven, our little escape from the day.

Shame on you Starbucks.

Wasn't yr slogan "Let's meet at Starbucks" or something last summer?
Well- why close the cafe and keep the drive through open in my town?
let's roll up and meet at the freaking drive through for a coffee shop experience? Whatever.

I am sad and I didn't even want to love you when we moved here. I wanted my old local fair trade place. But ya know what? It wasn't all about yr roasting brilliance that made me suck from the teat. It was those fine folks who knew my name and were genuine and kind. It was about those folks we really did come to know over the froth.

Round here something radiates

A small local shout out!
If yr local and have young children you should visit Being Savvy Columbus. My friend Christina is doing a great job there and I am really excited that Columbus is included in this cool venture.
I also wanna tell you about Skreened.
Skreened is cool as they are two local folks who have created ethical custom apparel!

I got a free shirt from them last night when I attended a local social media meet up to learn about a new marketing campaign for Experience Columbus last night. I got invited to this shindig bc I am a local blogger with her finger on the pulse of the city? Dunno, but they had Jeni's ice cream and I liked it. I also felt more than a mommy blogger for sure.

I like this too:
Columbus Green Spot

Are you local? Leave me a comment today. I dare you. I was telling my friend last night that I don't think I have local traffic at all. Strange. I want you Columbus. I want you too.
