We are enjoying stunning Spring weather in Massachusetts this week! I was afraid this old willow tree wouldn’t spring back after losing yet another large branch in our Snowtober storm. But leaves are budding, so we get to enjoy it another year, scars and all!
There’s something thrilling in baby feet on soft spring grass – miraculously healing band-aids and all! She shut the sliding door on her own toe, and if my toe were bruised like that I wouldn’t feel healed by a band-aid! So glad she was!
It’s time to celebrate life, complete with gorgeous, naturally-lit photos that capture so much personality! Here she was imitating the way I was standing to capture the photo!
I’ve enjoyed co-hosting the Spring edition of the All Year Round blog hop with sunnydaytodaymama, Winding Circle, The Mahogany Way, Smiling like Sunshine, and Home Baked – it is so inspiring to see everyone enjoying (and anxiously awaiting!) spring! Here are three favorites from posts I’ve seen so far:
- Adorable lamb craft from Red Ted Art – made from card stock and cotton balls (cotton wool for UK readers)
- Simple egg shell candles from lightly enchanted – I really want to get some wax sand or wax beads (never knew either one existed, I learn so much from blogs!) to give this a go as it looks both lovely and very easy to make with kids!
- Hand and Fingerprint Spring Mural from Putti Prapancha – lovely handprint art for welcoming spring!
Do you have a spring craft or activity to share? Drop by and link up – we’re taking posts through May 15th!

Lily is cracking me up with her cute imitation of mama taking photos. :) And seeing toddler feet on baby grass along with the blue sky and budding tree – I can pretend autumn in Perth is really Spring, right?? :)

Thanks – I think so :)
I know, I was sad about her toe – and glad it doesn’t seem to bother her much!

Wonderful photos. I think Lily looks a lot like you in these shots.

People say that a lot in real life. I think our expressions and eyes are especially similar.

Yay for Spring! We’ve had some beautiful weather in between our Texas thunderstorms.

Love those little toes on grass! We may have nice warm winter weather here, but our grass is prickly on those little toes. Glad you are enjoying the spring weather!
