Welcome to my happy place! Holland, Michigan. In my opinion, Holland is beautiful during any and all seasons. I love being by the water and I’ve learned that I’m happiest when I’m at the Lake! Though it’s no longer beach weather here in the mitten, it is still breathing taking. I love bundling up with a scarf and taking in the views…

You guys! I found this sweater for just $4.00 at Loft! Can you believe that?! I promise it’s even cuter in person, the pictures really don’t do it complete justice. Not only is it cute but it is so so cozy. I absolutely love it! I hope you can see the earrings I attempted to show off in one of the pictures above because I have been wearing them repeatedly since they arrived in my set from Rocksbox!

This morning I was watching the news like I usually do and during a commercial break a little segment of the Ellen Degeneres show came on. All I caught was Ellen Degeneres saying something along the lines of: Happy Wine Wednesday and Happy Hump day… It’s no coincidence that they…

It’s no secret that I love a pretty lighthouse so perhaps the mystery lies in the why I like them so much. It wasn’t until recently that I even found out for myself! Being a Michigan girl I’ve always loved the lake but over the course of the past few years, I’ve found an incredible sense of peace there…

I do not have enough words to tell you how much fun I had frolicking on the beach with this kite and my two good friends. We stumbled upon the most beautiful day in Holland, Michigan (my favorite place) and took full advantage spending most all of it outside. The tassels on my dress were perfectly whimsical for the windy day and the red color was even better as this was likely my last trip the the Big Red lighthouse for the summer. This dress was…

Lately more than ever before, as I stand at my happiest, I’ve found myself scared that I’ll get hurt. Seems random right?! Not to me. I guess I’ve just reached a point of being content with where I’m at and I don’t want anyone or anything to take that away from me. I’ve always said that I do not wish a broken heart on anyone, it’s just terrible! On one hand, I think experiencing heart break on a few different occasions has given me the opportunity to genuinely appreciate the times that are good. On the other hand, I think it has also left me fearful that I might end up feeling that way again. It wasn’t until I sat at church on Sunday and heard the Pastor say, “faith over fear” that I realized I had nothing to be scared of. Even in the eye of the storm, God remains in control. As we experience heart breaks in whatever form they may come in, I truly believe that…
