Smells Like Spring Spirit!


Hello all,

Spring is officially here! Baseball season, flower blossoms, pretty sun dresses and warm starry nights. This season is short and often zooms by without being fully taken in. So with post I would like to invite and encourage everyone to take some time and smell the roses... the daffodils and the tulips. Here are a few of my favorite ways:

  • Soak up the sun (with sunscreen!)- In my opinion, there are few things more refreshing than spending an afternoon in the park, with a big blanket, sweet tea and a good friend.
  • Forget the T.V and read a good book- This is the perfect compliment to my number one. Eat, Pray, Love is a memoir I personally can not wait to start reading! My favorite Chik Lit author would have to be Emily Giffin, every one of her books are must reads for my fellow Chik Lit lovers. Her new book, The Heart of the Matter, comes out May, 11th.
  • Get on the move- Spring is the perfect time of year to enjoy outdoor sports and activities because the ground is no long covered in snow and it's still not to hot. So whether you enjoy volleyball, basketball, cycling or just taking walks through your neighborhood, make the most of the beautiful weather.
What do you all like to do in the spring? Let me know! I hope these help! :)

  1. I have a bunch! But some of these probably count for summer too.

    -Baseball games... Amazing
    -A new one this year for me, reading outside. Lately I have been enjoying the weather sitting out back by the pool reading. I've been a reading machine. If you like Blue Like Jazz, you'd like the rest of the books by Don Miller. Right now I'm reading "Searching for God Knows What," and its awesome. All of his books are must reads.
    -Going for runs is something I have done a lot of this spring and walks as well.
    -Right now, I'm watching the storms blow through... an Oklahoma Spring Specialty!
    -Snow Cones! I love going to the snow cone shack on those warm nights that you mentioned with my buddies... Awesome!
    -If I had a bike, I would love to go ride it on riverside or something like that, maybe a park. but I don't have one so I guess that's not an option.
    - Driving down a country road with the windows down and a country song turned up is a favorite.
    - Fishing and camping! I love the smell of the campsite and the campfire, a definite spring activity.

    There are probably more, but those are a few of my favorites!
