This is not your “normal” Mother’s Day post. It's probably closer to an "in your face" challenge rather than a sweet encouraging post about how to love on your mom. PLEASE don’t get me wrong. Mom’s are AWESOME! I am one after all.
But this NOT a "List of 20 ways to make Mother’s Day special" kind of post. If you are looking for a great list be sure to read to the end for the "non normal" Mother's Day list!
I can't pick my favorite season. Spring is so welcome after winter that for a few months it is my choice. But I LOVE the sun and growing season of summer. Either way here are a few things that are making me HAPPY this week that are direct results of spring being here!
Time is precious. There is never enough and we can’t buy more. But we can be smart about how we use the 24 hours each day that we are given.
I’ve been using electronics as a tool to keep me on track with goals, to-do lists and all the things running through my mind! Often if I can calm the chaos of what to do next I can be MUCH more productive each day.
One of the best things about spring is getting to be outside more.
That means I can do two of my favorite things.
- Be in the sunshine
- See nature wake up from the winter sleeping.
Our family eats a lot of berries in a year. Smoothies, yogurt with berries, berries with brownies and whip cream, strawberry shortcake, sugar free strawberry jam. And that doesn’t count the plain ones eaten as a snack or for breakfast.
Mainly we eat TONS of strawberries but we love blueberries and raspberries as well. So last year our big spring garden project was building square foot garden strawberry beds.
