The beach in March! amazingness, is that even a word. We have truly been bless by Mother Nature. This week has become an over the top spring into summer. I keep having to remind myself it is March.
My girl blows the BEST kisses!
We took this weather as an opportunity to jump straight into spring head first. It feels so good to put on flip flops and air out our arms and legs. They have been covered up for 6 months now and the sun feels good.
After the time change I think we all needed this. It is hard changing up the schedule you follow day in and day out for months. The extra hour is hard to say goodbye to. I still miss it….. especially in the morning. On the flip side it reminds us that days are longer and that means more time for the kids to play outside, dinner is later because…well, we just seem to have more time.
I am loving the first signs of the change of season. It is time to change out the blankets and replace them with lighter ones in pretty soft pastels. Pull out the patio furniture from the sheds they are stacked in. Soon we will be able to fill our pots with the colors of the season.
Every change of season gives me a chance to reflect as well as anticipate. I look back at the season we just left and look forward to the one we are entering. It reminds me that my kids are 6 months older and we are about to mark off yet another school year. They are 1 school year older. I never thought time would fly this fast.
As I said in this post, we have to make every holiday, every event, every day something to remember because that is what molds their future and their relationship with us. I want my kids to be confident so they can take this one life and make the most of it! I want them to know that their Dad and I did our best to make the most of our life. These are lessons that are very important to me.
I just hope they remember days at the beach….
Drinks in mason jars…..
I hope they remember how much they are loved….
Those things make me feel at home and grounded.
