Happy Fall y’all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend enjoying the summer-like weather, seeing ArtPrize and watching the Michigan vs. Michigan State game. I took advantage of the great weather on Saturday and finally started decorating my front step with some mums and pumpkins, and thought about what I should be for Halloween. Any ideas? I hope you have a good week enjoying Fall in Grand Rapids and don’t forget to tag your photos on Instagram with #thegrguide!
