Spring is Sprung

On Wednesday night, Brandon, Jackson, a friend from Kansas, and I attended our first Rockies baseball game of the season!

You know what that means..

Spring has arrived! 

The weather in these parts has been absolutely glorious and we really couldn't have asked for better baseball weather on Wednesday evening. While I'm more partial to the fall, I must admit that spring has been pretty good to us thus far! 

Speaking of spring, I have declared that spring is coconut season (fall is pumpkin, winter is peppermint). I've been enjoying coconut creamer in my coffee every morning, have been burning a coconut candle, and have been lathering my hands with a yummy coconut lotion.. it really is a refreshing scent/taste! 

In other non-spring related news, Jax is actually beginning to ear strawberries and other fruits.. this is a big deal people (he ate TWO strawberries yesterday with his veggie burger and cheese)!! 

That's about it around here-- have a great weekend!! 

Spring Fever

It's a well known fact that back in the day I used to adore winter.

The snow.

The warm and comfortable clothes.

Snuggling into bed with a good book and glass of wine.

Those feelings of warmth during the most frigid of months have blown away with the icy breeze..

..for I now have an active 14-month-old who doesn't like being cooped up for too long.

Winter walks=hats, Ergo, and my over sized jacket to keep us both warm.

I'm dreaming of..

70 degree days

The smell of cherry blossoms in the air

The way the warm sun feels on my face

Long walks

Play dates at the park

Delicious picnics

Sipping coffee on our back porch while Jax and Bella chase each other around the backyard

Enjoying a beer by our fire pit out back after Jackson goes to sleep

Starting and maintaining a garden

Baseball games

Sleeping with the windows open

Baby birds chirping away in our big old tree

Swim lessons

Walking over to our local bakery with Jax on Tuesdays for their cupcake special

The sounds of Brandon mowing the backyard 

I'm dreaming of spring. 

We're supposed to get more snow tonight and tomorrow so if you need me, I'll be chilling in my Snuggie with a warm cup of coffee and slice of homemade banana bread.
