Here We Come Spring 2013

We’re already a month or so into Spring and our family has yet to take advantage of this pretty perfect weather.  So many ideas yet so many to-do’s still left unchecked.  Shame on us.

That being said, I am determined to start checking the list.  It’s a relatively short list, but it’s full of memories to be made and fun to be had.  The list:

Flower Fields ··· I’ve always seen beautiful pictures of and heard wonderful things about The Flower Fields in Carlsbad.  The little girl in me imagines stopping time for just one day-- Getting lost in the petals and taking time to smell the flowers.  Doesn’t that sound like so much fun?  I bet Ella would <3 it too!

Strawberry Picking ··· Picking and eating strawberries in the middle of a farm?  Yes, please!  Tenaka Farms in Irvine offers Strawberry Tours this time of year and I just <3 the idea of filling baskets with freshly picked strawberries.  Besides, Miss Ella <3’s strawberries.

Disneyland Days ··· Miss Ella and I are half way into our annual pass and we haven’t used it half as much as I would like to.  She <3’s Minnie Mouse (almost as much as Mommy does), and it makes me so happy to see her get as excited as she does at Disneyland.

Backyard Shenanigans ··· A current backyard project has motivated me to get-it-together in the backyard.  I’m talking (more) rose bushes, an herb garden, an avocado tree, a tic-tac-toe, a swing set and maybe even a playhouse.  The works!  It’s time for a kid-friendly family backyard.

Spring Cleaning ··· Yes, I am actually looking forward to rolling up my sleeves a little and getting super organized.  It is overdue.  Garage, you may be the death of me, but you will be organized come Summer time.  You will be.

Get ready Spring 2013-- Here we come!
