McCarty's Cove

How in the helly do I not already have a blog post titled McCarty’s Cove? The cove that… I’ve spent the last five years crying and healing at, lol. This was the first stop I made after settling into my Airbnb the first night of moving to Marquette. Speaking of which, my five-year Yoopiversary is coming up… and I’m already sentimental over it. I’m already sentimental anyway, let alone adding on an anniversary of something that’s been one of the most life-changing moves I could have made. I found home. That’s for sure.

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!

Winter weekend in Calumet

Calumet, Michigan, nestled in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula, offers a unique blend of outdoor beauty and rich history. Known for its roots in copper mining, this charming town showcases stunning architecture and a welcoming community. I was excited to explore the town a bit more in depth, eat a few meals at local restaurants, walk around downtown, check out Lake Superior, and stay at the historic Laurium Manor Inn. Read on for how I spent a weekend there!

Weekend in Paradise

November in Paradise is truly paradise—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for slowing down. With no crowds or tourist buzz, it’s just you and nature. 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! 🌊

Lake of the Clouds

I recently took a spontaneous trip to Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains to catch the peak fall colors, and it was absolutely magical! The easy hike to the top was rewarded with vibrant autumn views and a beautiful sunset glow. I kept things cozy with monochromatic greens and my trusty Blundstone boots, perfect for a casual, comfortable evening in one of my favorite spots in the Upper Peninsula.
