The Best Cinnamon Rolls in Columbus 😍

Green Haven Living holiday candlelight preview

Sponsored by Green Haven Living: We are officially kicking off the season with our Holiday Candlelight Preview. This is an open house event being held in-store over 3 days. Browse our new holiday selection. Light refreshments, giveaways, and a warm holiday welcome await you! 🕯🎄

Happy Friday the 13th! Chelsea here.

To quote Michael Scott, I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious. And to be honest, 2020 hasn't exactly filled me with calm. But I really think that even though it's Friday the 13th, there's still a way to make it a great day. My solution is warm, doughy, and sweet and I can bet that most of you will enjoy it. That's right my friends, we're talking about cinnamon rolls. Nothing pairs better with a good book and an aversion to going out during COVID-19 quite like a delicious, ooey-gooey cinnamon roll. Get that badboy to-go and you don't even have to take your warm, stay-at-home clothes off to enjoy it.

While I'm typically firmly in the camp of "Don't talk about December holidays until after Thanksgiving," I also believe in having a solid plan. So if you're planning out some COVID-19 safe holiday activities for the family this year, I've got your back. This drive-thru event is going to be a blast. Quite frankly, the idea of staying warm while touring Ohio Village makes me wish that we could have drive-thru events every year.

Today's Photo 🤳

Last little bits of fall foliage happening right now. We might get some late rain on Sunday, but otherwise it's looking like a nice brisk weekend to grab a dog and go for a hike, like this guy up above who is loving life at Highbanks. 🐶🍂
