Am I really talking about the weather?

Well, here we are, it's March and it is really cold for us beach dwellers!  True, we have had a mild winter compared to last year, but still it's March for goodness sake!  I seem to be preoccupied with the weather lately, I haven't posted a recipe, party pics or craft project since like forever! So, next week is the start of Spring Break and the Easter season, I will definitely have some fun post on Easter basket ideas and hopefully beach weather activities! ~ Jo Ann

Again, Is It Spring Yet?

Again, I find myself dreaming of Spring!  I've had Spring fever since we got the first cold snap of the year.  I keep daydreaming of no alarms, no school, no schedules.....just a few more weeks and we will actually be on Spring Break!  My kids keep asking me why I'm so looking forward to Spring Break, for one, NO HOMEWORK!  Sleeping late.....well, at least til 8 or 9 AM anyway and just spending time together. Bike rides, walks on the beach and coffee on the deck......just a few more weeks!

Is It Spring Yet?

As I get back into a regular routine after the holidays.......oh how I loved the break from a routine, but order is necessary so it's good getting organized as we start a new year!  I have been cleaning and organizing like it's Spring Cleaning time!  I love to see things nicely folded, stacked and tucked away.  I recently noticed (after our move) that I really, really like bins, baskets, totes and anything pretty that can hold things. Now, if I can get the rest of my family to be as enthusiastic......I will wait until they are out of the house and then get into their closets!

HaPpY NeW YeAr 2013

It's hard to believe that we have ushered in 2013.  We spend New Years Eve with old and new friends, making memories and reminiscing about old ones.   Lots of great things happened in 2012 like moving to the beach and making amazing new friends.  I am excited for 2013 and all the plans (loose plans) we have for our family, myself and just enjoying where we are. I say loose plans because I also need to be able to follow God and change my plans for His, I want to be less of Martha and more of Mary.  I hope this year brings you blessings overflowing, treasured friendships, strong family ties, good health and lots of laughs!  Jo Ann
