What are you guys up to this spring?
Did I leave out anything MAJOR that must be done?
Great list! I’m going to post Sean and my list soon, it’s pretty silly. 🙂 All SF tourist stuff. haha
P.S. LOVE the Carmichael Farmers Market!
That’s an awesome Spring Bucket List! I would volunteer to eat the cupcakes for you, but my Spring Bucket List is all about losing weight – eating better and getting in shape.
Something I LOVE about your blog – you always put in such great pictures! Do you take/create them all?
Aw thanks! I do take them all unless or try to credit them when I don’t.
This is just a tree hanging out in my backyard that I took a picture of on my lunch break yesterday. I just felt like spring had officially sprung when I noticed it!
Can you bring your Irish Car Bomb cupcakes to Portland? Pretty Please? I’m sure the Six Degrees Crew can totally help you eat them AND you’ll be knocking out 2 goals in one fell swoop!
you will get those toes to bar. they just… happen. 🙂
Wow, that’s a lot of great things to do. My goal is to sell the house, and get on the road.
Love the brunch idea. Stealing.
I am interested in kayaking (it’s my FAVE), trail running, a berry picking adventure, s’mores in your fire pit and that key lime business. Let’s make plans!
I haven’t thought about Spring yet. I’m just trying to get through the busiest time for me at work. Come April, I’m all over Spring planning! I would definitely like to add some evening walks with Darcy when the weather gets better and the light stays longer. I can’t wait until I can open our windows without freezing!
I always love and am inspired by your lists! Now, for March Madness do you actually know what you’re doing or do you just guess like I do? Jason’s usually in a pool and then we have a little side bet between just us and winner picks dinner and a movie 🙂
P.S. I love hydrangeas (we had them in my wedding bouquet and in our table centerpieces – ugh not cheap). Are they difficult to grow?
No idea what I’m doing…but I guess pretty well. I would like to go all the way this year! HAHAHA
As for hydrangeas, I have zero experience with them…but why the heck not just start now and pretend I do? Fake it till you make it 🙂
