Family Photos: Springtime Is My Favorite Time!

I’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…

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

How cute is she looking at the trees? She’s like a kid in a candy store!

Here’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?

Last 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!

We celebrated Easter with our favorite PEEPS — and, of course, some tasty chocolate too! And some Yahtzee too!

I’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!!

Spoiler Alert: Coming to a blog near you next month!!!

And 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
