Six Inspiring Spring Ideas
Hello! I’m so happy you are here today! Spring is arriving early here in North Texas, but even if it’s still cold and winter-y where you live, it’s not too soon to start bringing Spring indoors!
Today, I’ve teamed up with some of my blog friends to bring you some of our favorite Spring posts. I hope you find them as inspiring as I do!

Valentine’s Day Paper Flowers Craft
Whether you love, hate or are indifferent towards Valentine’s Day, I think you may still find my latest craft idea interesting. It can easily be adjusted for any time of year or holiday!
My kids love it when I decorate a little for each holiday so I make an effort to do a little something with hearts and red accents this time of year.
I originally set out to do something completely different with my paper muffin cups but then I came up with this Valentine’s Day paper flowers craft idea. It’s so simple and adds a fun punch of color for the holiday.

Fresh Herb Bouquets
It rained again yesterday and the week before that it rained, too.
That might not sound like a big deal to many of you, but rain during the summer in Texas is usually a little out of the ordinary.
But this year has been anything but ordinary!
My yard has never been so green and lush.
When we came home from visiting my parents in Minnesota last week we found that our yard was a bit out of control!
My herbs, in particular, needed a substantial pruning. Some had begun to flower and others were wild and unruly.
When I do a big pruning like this, I’m left with an abundance of fresh herbs. Of course, I could give some away to friends, family and neighbors (and I do!) but here’s another suggestion – make herb bouquets!
