Seven New Things

 It's finally spring and the world is fairly bursting with newness. I'm reveling in it.

I look forward to baby maple leaves all winter.

I've never prioritized gardening.... until I realized how much my six year old loves growing things. Now, we have a small, new garden. Her little strawberry marker is my favorite part of it.

I have a new determination to keep these ferns alive all summer. They have died every other year but surely this year will be different! Hanging ferns on my porch makes me feel like a real southern lady. (Which is very important seeing as I live a whole thirteen miles south of the Mason Dixon line.)

This brand new book has been a delight! Kendra Adachi helps me think about ordinary things with more clarity.

Iced matcha lattes are my new favorite drink. They are a wonderful alternative when I'm craving coffee but can't have it because I am now an old person who can't handle caffeine after lunch time. Also, I require my flip flops to have support now. I guess this is twenty-seven. :)

Our front porch has been graced with many packages the past few weeks as we prepare for a new project. We are turning one of our rental properties into an AirBnb. Its been so fun collecting green velvet chairs and cute coffee mugs and a mini floral waffle maker for the new space. I hope to share more pictures once the project is complete.

I don't have a picture to accompany the last new thing. I started cleaning offices with my sister on the weekends. I absolutely love it. Its so refreshing to spend a few hours a week focused on ONE THING. I don't have to pause to switch laundry or settle a fight between sisters or set out meat for supper. It also gives me and my sister a chance to discuss celebrity trials and true crime podcasts to our hearts' content. It's a win all around! :)

Tell me about something new in your life. Happy Spring to ya'll!
