My love for tulips
My love for tulips

Phew! May is one of my favorite months to blog, and I'm totally dropping the ball. It's just been a whirlwind honestly. I can't believe we're almost to the middle of the month... when it feels like it just began! Thankfully though, we took a time out, and drove to Holland to see the tulips last night. It was 70 degrees, warm, and I couldn't wait to get out of work and head to the lakeshore. We stopped to Veldheer Tulip Gardens. We sort of alternate between this place and Windmill Island every year, but this year, the timing just worked out better here! And I'm so glad we came. It was so pretty, and I absolutely LOVE the rows of colorful tulips! If you live in Michigan, and haven't been to Holland during Tulip Time yet, put it on your bucket list!

May small goals

Yay to May! This is my favorite spring month, and I’m really looking forward to it. Warmer temperatures, tulip fields, upcoming shows and concerts, fun projects, a trip to Ann Arbor, and the unofficial start to summer — Memorial Day weekend! Continuing on from April, I’m trying to take my goals a little less seriously. I still have BIG goals I’m working on like saving for a house, and working on my diet and fitness goals. But I’m trying to keep those the big goals, and any other goals are just small (fun) things to accomplish or smaller goals that’ll get me closer to those big goals!

Hey friends! Happy Sunday. Did you have a good weekend? We've had a pretty good one. Friday night (when we snapped these photos) we grabbed drinks at Long Road Distillers (my favorite place for cocktails) and ordered a pizza flight from The Mitten. After that, we caught a concert at Pyramid Scheme for their 6th anniversary. Saturday, we grabbed brunch at Anna's House, saw Get Out at the theater, and then Eric headed off to the Kalamazoo area to play a show. I stayed home and watched You've Got Mail and fell asleep early. Hahaha, pretty typical night alone for me. Today, I had a bridal shower for a friend, and now I'm thinking of ordering a pizza and calling it a night. It's been raining for 24 hours straight, and it's just one of those gray, stay inside days.

Transitional seasons
Transitional seasons

Phew! This week is off and rolling! It's been busy so far (it's 10pm, and all I want to do is Netflix right now) but figured I'd hop on quick and update with this casual spring outfit. I wore this out and about and to grab burgers with friends on an outdoor patio. We're pretty much obsessed with outdoor patios this week... the weather has just been perfect! We're supposed to end April with a few thunderstorms, so I'm looking forward to that. And then we're onto MAY. May is my favorite spring month. Everything is so colorful, the tulip fields are in bloom, carnivals and outdoor events start to happen, and there's just so much good happening. I'm ready! Bring it on, May.

Spring florals

Happy almost Friday! We're so close to the weekend, guys. One more day. We can do it. Friday night, we don't have any plans, and those are sometimes my favorite nights to just go out to dinner, maybe see a movie, or grab a drink with friends. Saturday, I'm headed to Muskegon for a project I'm working on (can't wait to share), and then Sunday I'm planning on catching up on ALL the spring cleaning. I signed up for another Apartment Therapy list, and I'm pretty behind right now, so I have some major catching up to do! It's supposed to be perfect weather (60s and sunshine) and I can't wait to brunch, open the windows, clean, and get ready for another new week. We'll be onto the last week of April. Where did this month go?!

Neighborhood blooms
Neighborhood blooms

Happy Monday! Did you guys have a good weekend? We sure did! The weather here has been absolutely beautiful, and everything is almost in full bloom. It's SO pretty outside. I seriously "ooh" and "ahh" over every flowering tree. I just love transitional seasons! Those pesky April showers really did pay off. This past weekend, we kept it pretty low-key, spent time with friends, went grocery shopping, took my Dad out to lunch for his birthday, visited my Mom, and hosted Eric's family for Easter. It was mildly successful, except I almost sent the smoke alarms off with burning ham and swiss sliders... so let's just say those didn't turn out. For a person who wants everything to be "perfect" always, laughing and wafting out the smoke with his family will always be a favorite memory. That's even better than being "perfect"!
