Spring is blooming in West Michigan! 🌸 I headed over to the Monet Garden, an adorable little pocket park in downtown Muskegon, inspired by France’s famous Giverny gardens. It was transformed from a vacant lot, and has a little replica of the famous Japanese bridge from Giverny, painted in its signature color. An adorable spot to check out the fish pond, sit on a bench or take some photos!
Read MoreAhhhh, spring. Or what we call in the Upper Peninsula… mud season. 🥾 It has been nice to see the snow melt, but now we’re left with some muddy trails and lingering dirty snow piles until everything really dries up.

Good for me to get out of my apartment and into the world with my camera!
Read MoreHappy spring… from the Upper Peninsula. Aka… hunting for any pocket of this town that doesn’t have snow to snap an outfit pic. Not easy to do. 😆 But I went out to the old Carp River Kiln, snapped a few pictures on a Friday night post-cocktails with friends and pre solo-dinner out.

Bugsy and I spent a couple of days soaking it all in at Tahquamenon Lodging, catching a sunrise at Whitefish Point, exploring Tahquamenon Falls, and cozying up with cribbage, wine, The Twilight Zone, and breakfast bake. Read on for a slow November weekend in Paradise! 🌊
Read MoreTook a Friday night walk up Thomas Rock to soak in the last bits of fall color and got treated to a beautiful blush-pink sunset. Even with the leaves past peak, it was all kinds of moody and pretty. Layered up in my favorite flannel and hoodie combo, Carhartt beanie, and new Levi’s for a laid-back night in nature.
