Happy Sunday, friends! I just got back from a Taste Tour of Grand Rapids, Michigan with a few food blogger friends. I’m still stuffed. We took a tour of the Grand Rapids Art Museum and got a behind-the-scenes look at the completely awe-inspiring Iris Van Herpen fashion exhibit; we toured Founders Brewing Company; and we even went out dancing. More on this trip soon!
Now, I’m looking forward to a shorter week before Daniel and I head home to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving. Last year Daniel’s family and my family began celebrating the holiday together, and I absolutely love that. I can’t wait until we have our own home to host it—hopefully next year! I’ll live to regret this eagerness, right? :)
How was your week? xo

“I just have to be very clear,” [Metz] says. “Whether or not I lose weight or stay the same, it’s purely a choice of mine for health. Not because I think that plus size, curvy, voluptuous, big bodies aren’t attractive — because I think they’re awesome and sexy…So I’ll just have to make sure that’s known, because I’m not selling out the big girls.” She laughs. “I don’t do that. That’s not me.”

G.R. is awesome!1 I have spent many a time at Founder’s Brewing! (I live in Kalamazoo – 60 mi. south of GR). I agree the Art Museum is a wonderful place to browse. Next time you’re in GR, go to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum – IT IS PHENOMENAL!!
Just wanted to say that I absolutely love this feature. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Jessica!! I’ll keep it up :) xo
