All Black Everything

 I guess you can say I was a little strange as a child: I used to climb the support pole in our basement and watch tv for hours while hanging up top, I wrote a letter to the Spice Girls asking them to come to me and my neighbor's sleepover, and if you asked me my favorite color when I was 3 years old I would have told you black and that it was the only marker I would use when drawing. 

While the answer to that question quickly changed to pink, I've reverted to appreciating the hue and have slowly but surely started adding it in to my wardrobe. It truly is a color that works with everything and is flattering for everyone. Perhaps I wasn't weird so much as a child but a born-to-be aspiring New Yorker with fashion foresight. No, still weird? Ok. :)

While I do love this tribal print sweater I am hoping today was the last day of the spring I had to wear it...I just want swimsuit season! 

The past few weeks I have been feeling this anticipation bubbling up inside me knowing that Up North cottage season is just around the corner. Our family's cottage is my absolute favorite place in the world and every year I somehow grow more and more fond of it. Since I used most of my vacation days on my big trip I have planned, the trips Up North will be fewer and shorter this year sadly so I have to make the most of every single one! 

Our first trip is planned for Memorial weekend and I feel like a little kid counting down the days to Christmas: way.too.excited. Although I may need to keep this sweater out of storage for a little while longer...it snowed Up North on Sunday! Here's to hoping it warms up and fast ;)

 For the past week I've been meeting my dad after work and going for a 5 mile walk with him through our favorite parks. Ann Arbor gets its name from the large number of trees found in the city and it does its best to preserve the nature for all to enjoy. Ann Arbor is the equivalency of a small Portland, Oregon and you will find many people biking, running, and being active all year round throughout the city and parks. The best part is most of the nature parks are connected or close enough together where you never have to repeat areas when working out!

I quickly snapped these pictures at the park before I changed into walking clothes and got all sweaty :) There are three farm ducks that were dropped off and now live at the park and I'm obsessed with...they are so cute! The trio wander around together and are surprisingly friendly; sadly, they were not in the mood for a photo op :(

I hope you all have a fabulous Mother's Day weekend! Mine will be spent in Grand Rapids with my sisters then visiting my Grandma and jumping off hay bales on my uncle's dairy farm. :)

TGIF!
