Yes there is a very friendly dog that's quite large so if you're not a dog person, be aware, he will not ignore you and want to be acknowledged with pets. I loved him(her?). Sweet dog. The stuff they have is quite nice but not my style and for the amount of space they have, quite honestly, inventory seemed sparse. The owner?, salesperson was way more interested in talking to a friend I think than anything, but then again, I don't blame her. If you are looking for that style decor, stop in and give a small business some help.

I can't believe I only just found out about this adorable little plant shop tucked away in…read moreWauconda! I would recommend following them on social media to double check the hours before you come; the first time I came out, I didn't realize they were closed for the holidays. The other reason why you should follow them on socials is because they have $5 specials on Fridays for a select plant of their choice! Amazing and dangerous for plant lovers... For a small shop, they are jam packed with a range of beautiful and healthy plants. If you're not looking for a plant (yet), they have accessories (pots, stakes, etc) and locally made goods. The prices are reasonable, too! The worker at the shop was attentive but not over bearing, and she patiently answered all of my questions about my plants. She recommended a stake for my hoya, which was a great purchase. They seem to really care about their plants and their customers! And if that's not reason enough to visit this spot, they had the cutest doggo there. Treat yourself to a new plant at Mis Plantitas!

Richardson Farm Tulip Fest! We came around 10:30am on a Friday and we basically had the field to…read moreourselves. There's over 1 million tulips planted, and there were plenty of photo ops throughout. I also love that the tulips were planted in the shape of a butterfly this year, but wish there was some way to see it from above. :( For $20 you get access to their tulip field and one u-pick tulip is included. You can purchase more tulips for $2 each if you want to pick more. Dogs are also allowed and are free to enter, but if your dog is prone to chewing on/eating flowers, maybe leave your dog home (tulips are toxic for dogs, mostly the bulbs which are underground). There are a few food trucks and lawn games to play as well. We tried the blended java chip coffee and kettle corn. The kettle corn was really good. We only spent about an hour here because there's not much else to really do.

My experience is going to differ a lot from other reviews because I went to Richardson Farms for…read morethe corn maze 5K, which ended up not happening at the corn maze due to the rain. I like to sign up for unique 5K courses, so I was super excited for this one. At 6am during the day of the 5K, I got a sad email saying the course has switched to the farm course for everyone who signed up for the corn maze course due to the corn maze being muddy and unsafe or something. But at least the 5K was still happened. The farm course was meh. It was muddy as well but at least it was wide dirt roads. For anyone considering going in the future, I suggest definitely going for the corn maze course instead because I imagine the farm course is meh even when it's dry. The gift shop was open for runners super early to shelter and grab some snacks, souvenirs, and bathroom breaks. The apple cider donuts are great, but only comes in half dozen.
