Family Photos: Springtime Is My Favorite Time!

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeI’m so happy to announce…SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN THE MIDWEST! Yes, friends, it’s true! We can finally — at long last! — say goodbye to that uber crabby Old Man Winter (yeah, he was probably a classic mansplainer, too!) and say hello hug a brighter, happier, sun-filled tomorrow! Now, you may think I’m being overly dramatic and exaggerating just a wee bit, but I’m not. I’m seriously. It’s just beautiful, really. I mean, this time of year just lifts my mood completely and I feel refreshed and revived — not to mention happier and more energized. I feel like the Energizer Bunny ready to take on the world! And since it’s official and springtime is my favorite time, I just had to commemorate the occasion with some Family Photos…

Springtime Is My Favorite Time Springtime Is My Favorite TimeMy mom snapped some proof that there is FINALLY green grass and leaves on the trees!! The best part? #NoFilter

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeHow cute is she looking at the trees? She’s like a kid in a candy store!

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeHere’s a #Throwback pic of my mom. As she said on Facebook, “This is how we used to do Easter back in the day…Easter bonnet and all!” Does she remind you a little bit of Sally Draper?

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeLast week, my sister made me some special Rice Krispie treats to celebrate a writing win (more on that coming soon!) and I looove the twist she put on it: Almond frosting and sprinkles! My mouth was watering just looking at them! Thanks for the deliciousness, Sister!

Springtime Is My Favorite Time Springtime Is My Favorite TimeWe celebrated Easter with our favorite PEEPS — and, of course, some tasty chocolate too! And some Yahtzee too!

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeI’m thinking of instituting Afternoon Cocktail Time!! I did it yesterday and it was so glorious! OK, so my drink was really just Diet 7-Up and cranberry juice, but it’s SO delicious!!

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeSpoiler Alert: Coming to a blog near you next month!!!

Springtime Is My Favorite TimeAnd finally, as Miranda Sings would say…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? I hit 4,000 Twitter followers!!!!! Root beer for all!!! Follow me for shenanigans!!!!

So, all in all, I suppose you could say it’s been a pretty good few weeks for me! How are things in your neck of the woods? Has spring shown its beautiful face yet? Here’s hoping you’re wrapped in a blanket of sun and warmth, friends! xoxo

    Yay for springtime! I have only recently fallen in love with spring and it’s because it brings the most amazing produce. The berries that I am getting at the grocery store now are BEYOND amazing. Also, congrats on reaching 4,000+ followers!!

    I also feel so much better in the spring! More energy, happier, calmer, more alive. And I also love making virgin cocktails like that! All you need is some 7-up/Sprite/sparkling water and some juice, it doesn’t even need alcohol!
