Springtime Adventures

Hi friends,

Always happy to spend a day with you. It’s springtime, and I’m thrilled! Minus spring allergies, of course. But it’s staying light until after 7pm, flowers are starting to bloom (hence allergies), and the days are warming up! One of my favorite things about spring is getting to spend time outside without freezing. Here are just a few of the activities we enjoy!

Hiking. We’re fortunate to live in an area with so many hiking trails! We’ve hiked since our girls were super young, and now we get to enjoy hiking with the grandkids too. Somehow Little Dude always manages to find a large stick he wants to bring home, while Little Man is performing parkour feats on the boulders, trees and across the water.

Boating. So excited the kids bought one this year. I sense a summer full of adventure! Little Dude has pronounced himself Captain, and Little Man is Commodore.

Day trips. We’re fortunate to live in an area with a ton of fun places to go for the day. Some of our favorites include doing a cheesesteak run to Philly, taking in a Phillies game, visiting the National Zoo, or, my personal favorite, visiting Baldwin’s Book Barn in West Chester, PA.

And, of course, visiting the beach.

One of my new favorite things to do outside is to write. Last year we got an outdoor sectional sofa, and I write out there all the time when it’s warm. I love listening to the birds and seeing the cardinals land on our bird house or feeder. Every now and then we even catch sight of an oriole. There’s something so relaxing and invigorating about being outside.

This year we’re planning to expand it to include a hammock swing, outdoor rug and hanging lanterns. It’s my spring project. I’ve had so much fun playing on Pinterest for inspiration. Here are few pics that I found super inspiring, just to give you an idea:
