Blue Star Drive

Blue Star Drive What we love and who we love; highlighting all the people, places and things we love here in Southwest Michigan; Blue Star Hwy and beyond.

In May of 2010 we met…again (long story, maybe we’ll tell you sometime). This time, we were ready for one another and it was only a matter of weeks before we knew that this was a forever sort of thing. By July of 2011, we had our first son, Orion Jack, and now we’re spending our days learning how to be parents and how to be grown-ups. Add in 2 dumb but adorable dogs and you’ve got the Greenes. But

this blog isn’t about our impromptu family, exactly. It’s more about appreciating the place where you are and its quirks. It’s about keeping the creativity in your days and not losing it to the everyday. It’s about learning new things all the time and using what you’ve got to build the best sort of life. read mmore here: http://bluestardrive.com/the-how-and-the-why/

FALL HAS A PURPLE ADDRESS.

Gather your favorite people and settle into one of South Haven’s most unforgettable homes. The Purple House sleeps up to 12, with five bedrooms, grand Victorian character, and plenty of room to reconnect.

Stroll downtown for shopping and dinner, walk to South Beach for a Lake Michigan sunset, then come home to a painted lady with stories in her walls.

THE PURPLE HOUSE
Historic charm. Downtown location. Room for everyone.

Summer’s Still Here!! Here-ish!!!

The backpacks are coming out, school is starting, and you can definitely feel summer beginning to slow down, but wait…We’re not ready yet.

There’s still time for sandy toes, warm-water swims, boat rides, ice cream downtown, long walks along the lake, sunset watching, and those last-minute “let’s just stay one more night” kind of weekends.

And there’s still plenty happening around South Haven this week and weekend!

So yes, the school-year routine is creeping back in… but summer isn’t over until we say it is. 😉

Come squeeze a little more sunshine out of it. We’ll see you at the beach. 💙

Blueberry Festival just wrapped, the crowds have thinned out, and the town is doing the thing it does every year around this time: quietly turning into a completely different kind of beautiful. If your only South Haven memory is packed beaches and a parking meter running, you haven't actually seen the town yet. Fall is when it shows you who it really is.

We've been renting homes here for years, and if you ask us honestly, fall is the season we'd send our own family to if we only got to visit once. Fewer crowds, cooler mornings, a downtown that slows back down to walking pace, and a whole calendar of things to do that never make it into the summer brochures. Here's what that season actually looks like.
