Happy Wednesday! We made it to the end of March! This month flew by. I can’t believe next weekend is Easter!! Spring is definitely in full swing and by full swing I mean, some days are warm and sunny in the 50s and other days it is cold and rainy. If that doesn’t describe spring I don’t know what does. Haha! As another month comes to a close, it’s time for another dose of currently. Grab your coffee or tea (iced or hot) and let’s settle in.
What I’m up to: This month has been a mixture of work, spending time outside and enjoying hobbies outside of work, from reading, to cooking and seeing friends! Also, lots of family time…my favorite!
What I’m wearing: I am bringing out more pastel and spring colors! Yay!! Everything from blues to pinks and greens or at least trying too! Haha! I wear a lot of black…no secret there and I’m finally looking forward to putting it away for brighter days and colors ahead. The tricky part about spring is jackets! I am always cold, literally it could be 65 degrees out and I would still need a jacket haha. I always have a jacket with me but it always depends on how thick it is. Can I go lighter or do I have to have a warmer one? I am counting down the days until I can do a heavy duty cleaning of all my winter jackets…fingers crossed it’s coming up. Also, the fact I have been able to wear sneakers or converse while I have been out and about is a huge game changer!
What I’m reading: I have been doing a lot of reading lately. I am reading a little bit every day. Here’s a recap of some of my recent books. God’s Behaving Badly by Marie Phllips , we read this book for our book club in February, it was a mix of Greek mythology with a modern twist.
Our March book was The First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom, this is a faith based book about people who receive phone calls from loved ones from heaven. Is it God or is it someone else.
This past month was a great book month because I also wrapped up, 52 Small Changes by Brett Blumenthal. This can be read at once or one day at a time about big and small ways to change your life.
What I’m Watching: I watched Firefly Lane last month which was good. It’s a Netflix mini series about two women and their friendship from young girls to grown women. This past month, many of my favorite shows came back, hello This is Us, Grey’s Anatomy, A Million Little Things, so those have been keeping me busy. I also have been watching a lot of movies. Some people may love their sports season, but your girl loves her awards show season. I have been watching a lot of movies nominated for awards which has been super fun!
What I’m Loving: I did a post about this a few weeks back, to read it, click here, but I have been loving all my new hobbies and activities outside of work. Now, that it’s finally warming up, I t’s been so nice to be outside whether it’s for a walk or reading or even spring cleaning. I’ve already been on a few zoo trips, near and far which has been fun! I can’t wait to be outside more. You don’t realize how much you miss the sunshine and warm weather until it’s gone.
What Inspires Me: I’m inspired by spring!!! There’s a sense of hope and promise and new beginnings in the air. I can’t wait to pick fresh flowers, go outside for lunches or dinners. I am also looking forward to changing out my wardrobe and just sprucing things up for the news season.
What I accomplished: I’ve been really happy with my new hobbies, from reading and cooking. It’s been such a fun and creative outlet. Plus, I’m really happy with some of my recent pieces at work.
Goals Accomplished from Last Month I got so much quality friends and family time in during the last month. Between walks, book clubs and coffee dates. I also spent a lot of time with family after work between dinners and movie nights. With summer right around the corner, I can’t wait for nights spent by the pool or grilling.
Goals for the New Month: This month I want to be outside for as much as I can whether it’s with outdoor projects or just walks. Easter is next week, even though I’ll be working, I’m looking forward to celebrating the holiday before and after work with my family. Something else I am looking forward is clearing off my schedule more. As much as I like being busy, I am looking forward to some open time in my schedule.
That’s a look into my life the past month. Lots of hobbies, friends, family time and work. Not too exciting, but we are keeping it real. Have a great week ahead!
