The Tulip Fields

Another year in the books at the tulip fields! 🌷 I ventured over to Veldheer Tulip Gardens this year, and timed it out just right. Yes, it makes for a pretty outfit backdrop, but it’s just become so much more meaningful than that. I love tradition, love seasonal activities, and this just checks the box in terms of… filling up my heart and soul cup! But yeah, beautiful as always, magical AF, what a dreamy location.

Monet Garden of Muskegon

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!

Stroll in Grand Haven

Grand Haven will always hold a special place in my heart! I visited in spring, and walked around downtown for a bit, hit up Pronto Pup for a quick dinner of corndogs, and walked to the Grand Haven South Pier & Lighthouse. Definitely a must visit if you’re looking for a quaint beach town in Michigan… sunsets here are always glorious!

Windmill Island

Tulips in spring? Yes, please! Windmill Island has over 100,000 tulips bloom in the spring! There is also a 250-year-old windmill which is called DeZwann, the only authentic Dutch windmill operating in the United States, a carousel, plus a few cute Dutch-themed shops to stroll. It’s just such a treat to walk around!

All the tulips

It’s that time of year again… visiting the tulip fields! This day was so magical, and so needed. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to go with everything going on, but when garden centers re-opened a couple of weeks ago in Michigan, I was so excited to make the trip out to Holland! There was no Tulip Time this year, which was sad. But just being outside, in the sunshine, with this gorgeous scene around me… just made my soul so happy. It’s strange to explain but just filling my life with these scenes gives me so much joy. Especially in such a dark time. These are the moments that make up my life, you know? I don’t know, being cheesy over here. But I loved this afternoon, I’m so glad I went, it healed my heart a little bit, and I’m so grateful for this day.
