Hello spring! I apologize for the delay in posting this latest 411 in the 616, but my birthday gift to myself was taking a little break and focusing on celebrating in my other favorite city Chicago. Now that I’m back in Grand Rapids I’m excited to share some fun events going on this week, local links and my latest obsessions around GR.
