Weekend in Bloomington, Indiana: Part 1

I’m excited to blog about our trip to Bloomington, Indiana! As you all know, I love exploring Michigan… and I’m really excited to be getting out of the state to explore more of the midwest. Definitely a midwest fan over here! Bloomington, included. It was such a fun weekend. The town is small enough to get a good sense of in a long weekend, but also big enough to provide so many different adventures and options of places to eat, drink, and see. We followed a fun scavenger hunt from Visit Bloomington and tried to knock as much as we could off the list… but didn’t even make it close to half way! Looks like we’ll have to schedule another trip there soon!

Visit Bloomington sponsored this trip. As always, opinions are my own!

Fallen leaves

So right before all the snow hit… November was pretty darn dreamy! Not to say I don’t like snow, I really do. I mean you sort of have to like it at least a little bit to live in Michigan and be sane, hahaha. But I just wish it’d hold off until after Thanksgiving. Ah well, can’t control the weather! All you can do is enjoy the beautiful fallen leaves while they’re here, and before they’re covered with snow! Those gray days though, with all the leaves falling down, rustling in the street, the sound they make, the smell, agh, it’s just all so perfect. I love autumn so much! I wish it’d stick around a bit longer. But hopefully we’ll get a few more nice days before the season ends! 🍂

Prepping for the entertainment season at home

I can’t believe how quickly the holidays are approaching! Before we know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here. Do you host anyone at your home for the holidays? Our families all live nearby, so we don’t have to entertain anyone, but we love having friends over for dinners, wine nights, and of course, movie nights! That’s why we love having our Xfinity internet to stream throughout the entire cozy season. Our house is pretty much the go-to for watching the big game, season finales, and movie nights. We also subscribe to almost every streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Prime Video)...haha! So, we can get our hands on pretty much any movie to stream or rent through Xfinity.

Thrifted oversized blazer

Hi friends! Happy November. It’s been a minute since I popped in here! I feel like the end of October just flew… but I’m nicely settling into the slow vibes of November. I’m definitely here for the calm before the storm of the holidays, that’s for sure! So I wore this outfit out to a dinner at Maru. What do you guys think about oversized blazers? I found this one at our local Salvation Army and I love it, but it’s also slightly ridiculous. I think maybe the shoulder pads need to go. 😂 But not sure. We’ll see. But yeah, it was nice to check out Maru — I hadn’t been before! You can see my IG post here for a little peek at their fall features menu. So good!

Fall in Fennville

It’s always been a goal to spend a full fall day in Fennville, so I’m excited we finally made it happen this year! Normally every fall, we head up north, and I wanted to make it a point to spend a full day closeby. Fennville is about 45 minutes from Grand Rapids… so it’s a super easy day trip, and there’s so much to do! We hit up Virtue Cider, Fenn Valley Vineyards, Crane’s Pie Pantry, Pier Cove Park, and ended with dinner at Salt of the Earth. I loved this day… it was so fun to hop around, try a bunch of different (very fall) places, to see the waves roll in at Lake Michigan, and to enjoy an amazing dinner in their little downtown area. Keep reading to hear more about our fall day in Fennville!

It was so last minute and I’m hoping everything fits and my hair turns out right, hahaha. Be sure to stay tuned to my Instagram because I’ll post there and do some stories! Saturday, I’m headed to the Madewell grand opening in Breton Village! If you’re in Grand Rapids, stop on by from 11am-3pm! Sunday, we’re hosting brunch at our apartment for a bunch of friends. It’s just going to be a fun, action-packed autumn weekend and I’m HERE for it! 🎃
