Saturday June 21st our family arrived in Paris! My Mom and Grace had already spent a week exploring and we were all so excited to finally meet up with them. After a long flight with two littles and a long wait for our rental car we checked in to the Hotel Rochester Champs-Elysees and attempted to pull ourselves together for dinner. After a shower and cat nap we walked to Le Petit Cler for dinner! After a delicious meal we walked over to get our first up-close glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. Grant was a trooper and after a few too many photos we were all off to get some rest before a full day to explore Paris!
May Memories
May is always a memorable month! We delivered May Day flowers to Grammy and Pop, made a quick trip to Columbus for Trixie & Asad’s baby shower, enjoyed my third Mother’s Day with brunch at Indian Hills and a boat ride at Winnebago, Grant’s daycare class released butterflies, we planted some flowers at the new house, spent the weekend at Turkey Hill for Memorial Day (where we celebrated Grammy’s birthday), attended ARTPOP, and ended the month with an early 10 year anniversary dinner at Cru Bistro & Bottles. Here’s to Spring and enjoying all the blooms!
Turkey Hill Family Photos
I’m SO thrilled to share a few photos from our extended family photos at Turkey Hill. Lora + Ted captured four generations of our Reussner/Fields/Smith/Wilson family! Turkey Hill has been a special place for our family over the last few decades and I know we will treasure having these photos taken out front for years to come. Now I just need to decide on a favorite for our Christmas card!

Jingle Stop NYC
Hallmark Channel concluded their Countdown to Christmas Bus Tour at the Blue Hill at Stone Barns outside of NYC. The talented Sheyda Best and I had worked on artwork for Hallmark’s holiday style guide and had the opportunity to customize holiday prints for Hallmark Stars and guests at the event! We had the best time exploring the grounds, enjoying the amazing food and working hard to hand-letter and embellish over 200 prints during the evening. I’m so appreciative of the chance to visit this beautiful venue and it was surreal to see our artwork applied at such a large scale!
October in NYC
I had to capture a few snapshots around the city when my co-worker Sheyda and I were in NYC. It was a quick trip but we were able to enjoy beautiful weather in Central Park, dinner with my college friend Claire and a bit of shopping at ABC Carpet & Home. Until next time, NYC!
Nashville in the Fall
To cap off family weekend we headed to Cheekwood to enjoy the pumpkins – Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m so grateful we had this weekend in Nashville with Grace!
