my spring to-do list

something about the blue skies, fresh air and sunshine makes me seriously want to freshen up my space and get creative!

here’s a few things on my spring to-do list…

1. simplify the kitchen counters {clear off clutter}

2. organize the boys’ toys. this feels like a massive project.

3. create a spring wreath {which hopefully i can share with you!}

4. find a mirror to hang over our bed

5. take a class at our community college. either photography or painting?

6. Make strawberry jam. And lots of it!

7. Spruce up our backyard with plants a new {maybe thrifted} table and chairs for warmer weather and outdoor eating!

8. What else??

  1. My kids just ended their 2 week break, and I also tackled the playroom/toys issue. It looks a whole lot better, re-arranged and re-purposed to reflect how they’re growing…but wow it was a LOT of WORK!! (And I could not let them witness what I was getting rid of!)

  2. Sounds lovely! I worked in my flower garden yesterday. We live in a townhouse, and my neighbor and I share a small patch of garden. She lets me plant and tend to it.
    I need to add some fresh flowers and more mulch…..fresh mulch screams spring! Have a wonderful weekend! 😉

  3. The toys! and my kitchen need solme serious TLC. I want to learn how to make smoothies, cake pops, and get some new, fresh, healthy recipes. and make an easter banner. and…i need to stop somewhere…

  4. Great list!! I love all your pictures, your words, your blog!

    Happy Friday!

  5. Your #1 & #2 are a must do in my house. If you come up with a good plan, please share. i’m in the mood to start some potted plants for our deck so that’s a project I am about to start on. 🙂 Happy Spring!

  7. Sounds like a good list. I have to have my hubby do the toy organizing as I always want to freak out at how overwhelming it is and he works very methodically and just gets er done. Happy Weekend!

  8. Ahhh, I can’t wait to make strawberry jam! Probably some raspberry too! 🙂

    Sounds like a lovely spring list! We definitely want to find some out door furniture to spice up our patio too!

  9. Ooh, painting! I vote for painting. I’ve always wanted to take a watercolor class. Plus, I already love your photography skills. 🙂 Hope you get to all your Spring goodness!
