it’s officially SPRING!!
while i would love to say that means warmer temps, ohio’s weather is pretty drunk until mid to late may… from feet of snow to 70’s, you just have no clue what it’s going to be like week to week…shoot. day to day. i have to make a conscious effort to not let the winter blues get me down but when we start getting little glimpses of warmer weather, it’s SO good for the soul and we ditch the naps for all the outside play. we live on a whole lot of land and i think there’s a lot to be said for throwing the kids outside, with a simple toy {chalk} or two {magnifying glass} and letting them use their imagination.

we’ve gotten a handful of days with temps in the 50’s which is virtually a heatwave so we’re running around in shorts and heading to the park!

and could someone PLEASE tell me why they look SO old!!!!

and then the next day we get snow.

i think my favorite part about this time of the year is gaining that extra hour of sunlight during the day which means we’re out for longer…and also means some really good sleeps at night! my heart is yearning for the spring flowers, for the grass to turn green and for it to officially be shorts weather…but. for now, we’ll soak in these first weeks of spring uncertainty and rest knowing that the promise of warmer days is coming!!

bring on the warmer temps, spring!!
