A fall weekend in Holland, Michigan
An original Dutch operating windmill (the only in the United States!), Lake Michigan feels like an ocean, there is actually an overlook (we miss climbing up to a view!), B&Bs that really feel like you’re in Europe, and an iconic red lighthouse – what more could you want?

Tried + True
The things I’ve used, loved, and would buy again — from mom life to travel and everything in between.
Hi, I’m Maddie –
lifelong memory-keeper, professional over-thinker of how to hold onto the good stuff, and a South Bay local sharing what makes everyday life a little more memorable.
From yearbook layouts to travel blogs to toddler photo books, I’ve always loved documenting things — not just to look back, but to know they’re there.
This space is for both of us: to slow down, be present, and still remember it later. Because the little things don’t last forever, but they’re worth saving.
During my daughter’s first two years I photographed everything. (Live mode forever.) After she turned two, something shifted. I wanted less proof of the moment and more presence in it.
