Welcoming Spring: Tips for a fresh start

-

 This month, we will embark on yet another beautiful season and perfect opportunity to begin as fresh as the flowers are sure to bloom. Spring is the perfect time to refresh and rejuvenate! Here are my top 10 tips to make the most of the season: 

  1. Spring Cleaning: We all tend to gather an excess of clutter through the winter months. Clear out the clutter and deep clean your living space. This is a great time to donate those items you no longer need. Remember, one person's trash is another's treasure! 
  2. Garden Preparation: No matter if you have a farm, flowerbed, or container garden, now is the time to start planting flowers, herbs, and vegetables. If you aren't currently, maybe consider creating a small herb garden or adding colorful blooms to your patio. 
  3. Outdoor Activities: Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the beautiful weather by going for a hike, having a picnic, or family bike ride. Enjoy the beautiful scenery around you as it blossoms. 
  4. Seasonal allergies: If you're like me and have seasonal allergies, keep an eye on those pollen forecasts and keep the allergy meds in stock! You  might even add some immune boosting vitamins to your daily routine to give you an extra boost of protection. 
  5. Wardrobe transition: It's that time! Let's all swap out the heavy winter clothes for lighter and brighter spring attire. Bring out the pastels and floral prints! 
  6. Healthy eating: Incorporate fresh spring produce into your diet, such as asparagus, strawberries, and peas. Light and colorful meals can boost your energy. 
  7. Home decor: Refresh your home with spring-themed decor. Add some fresh flowers, bright colors, and light fabrics to brighten up your space. 
  8. Fitness routine: Revamp your fitness routine by taking your workouts outside. Try running, yoga in the park, or joining an outdoor fitness class. 
  9. Travel plans: Spring is the perfect time to get away for the weekend or plan future trips! I know we will be having Mack start planning our trips for the year soon as her first travel agent customers! Consider visiting a new destination or exploring local attractions. If you need some suggestions comment below and I'll have Miss Mack start to research some cool things you can do based on your area. 
  10. Mental health: Take the time to practice some self-care and mindfulness. Spring is a great season to set new goals, start journaling (blogging), or pick up a new hobby. 
Feel free to let me know if you want a deeper dive into any of these tips or if there's something specific you are looking for!

I have joined up with a group of my friends and we are planning some get togethers. We will be doing play dates at each other's houses. We are hoping to be able to do a christmas party in december. i am also hoping that in the future we can have some mdo activities (mom's day out). in addition to this we are working on a recipe book to share our favorite recipes. we are also doing a babysitting swap starting soon so that we can just swap with one of the girls. I would watch April's two kids so she can have mommy time, and she would swap another night with me to watch my two kids. I think it will really work out well for all of us. Kenzie is starting to learn some sight words. She can already recognize the words I, A, and Can. I know it is only three words, but she is learning that is what matters most at this moment. I can't wait for her to learn more words as she progresses in Kindergarten. Maddie came up to me today and said, "MOMMY BATHROOM!" so ...

Chocolate Brittle Surprise

-
Last night, knowing that my brother often has a sweet tooth at night, I made some Chocolate Brittle Surprise. Here is the recipe since I promised I would put it here for Candice: Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then lightly spray with pan spray (like Pam). Line the cookie sheet with saltine crackers. Boil 1 cup butter and 3/4 cups of brown sugar for 3 minutes. cover the crackers with this butter/sugar mixture. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes. Then put 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips over that immediately after it comes out of the oven. as it melts spread the chocolate so it evenly coats the crackers. Chill the brittle in the refrigerator or freezer until hard. Crack like you would peanut brittle, then store in ziploc bags in the freezer. Yummy! Amanda makes this all the time and since I wanted something cheap and easy to make, I made this. It is so goooood! Kenzie is at school and I am about to work on my Research Paper for school. Hope all is well. Maddie has ...
