Annual Trip to Frankenmuth
Annual Trip to Frankenmuth

One of my favorite days of the entire year is our annual trip to Frankenmuth. I was thinking about this the other day... and I was like, "Why do I love this day so much?" It's so crowded with people, it's usually freezing, it's expensive, you are lured into buying things you don't need, it's touristy AF, and you have to wait two hours in line for dinner. But honestly, I love it, so insanely much. It's just a day that means so much to me, and I can only truly say, it's a feeling I get when I'm there. It's so quaint and festive, I love spending the entire day with Eric, I love the places we visit (same places every year) and I love the food. And maybe part of it is that I absolutely love tradition, and nothing makes me happier than a simple, happy life. But man, I love Frankenmuth.

Hi friends! Did you have a good weekend? I loved this past weekend. On Friday night, we went to my annual work holiday party, which is always so much fun. The food is yummy, the company is wonderful, and our white elephant gift exchange is always a riot! On Saturday, we headed to Frankenmuth, but I have an entire post dedicated to that coming this week, and on Sunday, I went to a friend's house for a merry mimosa brunch. We have gotten SO much snow... I can't even believe it! It's a total winter wonderland in Michigan right now. I love it. It's just so pretty, and perfect for Christmas. We didn't have a white Christmas last year, so I really hope the snow stays until the new year at least!

Burgundy + brick

It's been snowing! I know you can't tell in these photos, except for a few snowflakes, but an hour after this, the entire city was a winter wonderland. I almost wish we had waited to take photos! But, alas, here we are. Same ol' same ol' brick wall, and a super quick outfit post, in not my favorite outfit ever. That's okay. It happens to the best of us. On this day, we were quickly walking from the car to the coffee shop so I could work on a few blog posts and edit some photos. I love grabbing a warm beverage, and cozying up in a room full of people plugging away at work. Plus, it's a great way to get out of the house for a little bit!

Westsider Cafe

We're onto the first weekend of December! We eased into it with pretty low-key plans. Eric had shows all weekend in southwest Michigan, so I was on my own for the most part. Sometimes I love making plans with friends when he's off playing shows, but sometimes I also just love having the weekend to myself. On Friday night, I cooked myself a super yummy dinner of bowtie pasta with sausage and escarole, watched Christmas movies all night, and was in bed by 11pm. Kind of heavenly!

The Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

This past weekend, we headed north for our annual tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree! It’s always one of my favorite days of the entire year. Christmas brings so many fun traditions, and as I’m getting older, I’m realizing that I really love tradition, routine, and the simple things in life. I think I’ve always known that, but it definitely becomes more clear every single year. Especially now that I’m 30. You just learn to let go of the dumb little things, and focus on the important things. Like choppin’ down an ol’ tree with your family! ;)
