Tomorrow is the first day of spring, and while the new year may technically begin in January, to me the real start has always been in mid-March {and September}. There’s something so much more refreshing about beginning the new year as the weather warms up, when the flowers are in bloom, and love is in the air. To say that spring is one of my favorite seasons is an understatement {tied with fall, of course}. From the mellow weather, my birthday {and now my son’s as well}, to celebrating graduations and weddings or simply going to wine country every weekend because the weather is simply beautiful, there’s something so inherently wonderful about the season of love. I’m excited to spend the next couple of months spring cleaning my life, exploring new places, near and far, making more meals at home {with fresh produce, of course}, and watching my houseplants {hopefully} rebloom. Here are some of the things on my to-do list for this spring, and here are my past seasonal to-do lists here.
Spring To-Do List
- Travel to new places, constantly.
- Try some new-to-me cuisines such as Moroccan and Jamaican food.
- Making tea lattes + desserts with edible flowers.
- Practice my conversational French & Italian {just enough to order a meal, get directions, and shop}.
- Declutter and spring clean the entire house {and my life}.
- Wear bright lipstick, nail polish, and make up for a fun pop of color.
- Pack a picnic to have in wine country.
- Take a day trip to the beach.
- Take plenty of afternoon naps.
- Practice my calligraphy and drawing skills.
