Okay… excuse the repeat outfit post here, but I just had to take photos in this sunflower field we spotted on our way home from Ohio! So on our way up to the upper peninsula, I made Eric drive like 45 minutes out of the way (😬) to find a sunflower field in Traverse City. We spotted it, but all the sunflowers were flopped over dead and the field itself was SAD. So we ended up taking these photos instead, but… I still was dying to see a sunflower field and take photos in one! So we were driving home from Ohio, same outfit as this post, and I spotted this field and was like, “STOPPP!” Hahaha. So here I am, in the field I wanted, I just wish I had packed an extra outfit! 😆

Onto my last post from our trip to Springfield, Ohio! So I wanted to do an entire blog post on where we stayed… because it was wonderful. I loved it! We were able to stay in one of the treehouses at the historic Simon Kenton Inn. For a little history, Simon Kenton was a U.S. frontiersman and a soldier. He served the United States in the Revolution, the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. The land was deeded to him by the U.S. government. Simon’s cabin was built adjacent to where the old Spring House still stands and a historical marker is all that remains today. These grounds have so much history, charm, and character to them. We loved exploring the inn, and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the newest additions to the property — their luxury treehouses!

Onto our first full day in Springfield, Ohio! We packed this day to the brim from morning to night… so I have lots of fun recommendations if you’re planning a visit to the city. But it felt like a good, slow, relaxing day too. We kicked off the day with coffee and a small breakfast at Un Mundo Cafe! When we got downtown and parked, we realized the cafe was right next to their farmer’s market. They have over 35 vendors, with live music, food trucks and fun all in the North Market Alley adjacent to the Heritage Center. Un Mundo Cafe is right on that little corner, so we snuck in for a coffee (soy chai for me, of course) and a lemon poppyseed muffin before making our way over to the Heritage Center for a morning of exploring!

Greetings from Springfield, Ohio! I’m moving into a few posts from our trip there a few weeks ago. I love Springfield. It’s definitely a small town, and to be honest, I probably wouldn’t have heard of it if they hadn’t invited me on a press trip last year… but after our second weekend in the city, I can confirm that we’ve had two really great weekends there. It almost feels like home in a little way now. 🤣 What’s fun too is… this weekend felt like a totally different trip than our weekend there last year! We went back to a few favorite places, but did a lot of new things, explored new areas, and stayed in a super fun treehouse! I’ll be blogging all about our trip, but to kick it off, let’s start with our first night there! A stop to the Greetings from Springfield mural, which is brand new!

Read MoreHelloooooo, October, you dreamboat of a month you! So technically these photos were taken before our trip to Escanaba. We were having all the fall vibes on our drive up to the upper peninsula, so we stopped to snap these pictures! I actually need to blog my trip to Springfield, Ohio first this week before I can truly move onto fall content, but we’re getting close. We’ve been taking some fall photos lately, and I’m really excited to start blogging in a new season. How in the world did I get so behind? 🤣 So bare with me this week as I get caught up, wrap up the summer season, and fully move into October and autumn. But these photos are at least getting us some of those autumn vibes! 🍂

As most of you know, I love living in Michigan. I grew up here, I went to college here, I found my career here, built a blog I love here, and plan to stay here for the rest of my life! There are so many reasons why I love Michigan. Today I’m going to touch on the top five benefits to living in Michigan in collaboration with MSHDA! If you haven’t heard of MSHDA before, simply put, they help Michigan residents get into homes. They offer several valuable programs, provide housing for veterans, reduce homelessness and make homeownership possible and preserve Michigan history. Be sure to head over to their website to read more!
