There is nothing more lovely than the promise of spring. And I think we are all more than ready for her this year. The green grass, sunshine-y days, the fresh air, the blue speckled eggs in nests, the hope of longer days. We have been outside bunches to pull away the old brown from last year and ready the ground for the beauty of green shoots and new life. It’s the best. Here is what I’m loving this spring…
What I’m Loving
Walking
After being away for an Intentional Living Experiment and walking everyday, I decided it needs to become part of my rhythm when we returned home. Although I had aspirations to walk everyday, that hasn’t quite been a reality. However, I have been walking a few times a week, one evening with a friend. I can’t explain it other than to say it makes me feel more like me and helps me be a better mom and wife. Since we live on a gravel road, it can be a bit complicated to figure out where to walk, but making it happen has absolutely been worth it.
Minimalist Moms
If you haven’t listened to the Minimalist Moms Podcast, you are missing out. Diane has engaging guests and approaches minimalism in a real way for moms with littles and pets and a spouse and soccer practice and all the things. Her book, Minimalist Moms, recently released and I am loving every single page. It gives real mom tips in a non-judgy way. Check it out.
Mama shirt
Before our Low Buy Month, I purchased this Ford and Wyatt shirt and I’m so glad I did. I am all in when it comes to blush pink and this shirt is a favorite. It’s a repeat offender in my closet. It’s buttery soft and definitely one of my best buys this year.
Breakfast Sandwich Saturdays
Most days I don’t eat breakfast. I don’t technically do intermittent fasting, but it’s my good old college try at it. Saturdays, I indulge in breakfast…usually a breakfast sandwich made by my better half. My favorite is bacon on an english muffin with a fried egg and swiss cheese. Do you have a weekend breakfast tradition?
Fresh Air
I know it’s cliche, but the fresh air has been life giving. This time of year we are working in the yard a lot, and there is no replacement for breathing in the good stuff. My hands have been dirty and chapped and my body is tired, but my head is clear as I take in the small changes coming to life all around the farm.
