Spring Bucket List

Today is the first day of Spring Break so I thought I'd share with you our Spring Bucket List for 2017. This year I was able to work with Jack to come up with a list of things we wanted to do this spring. We are expected to have fairly good weather over Spring Break so we might be able to do some of these things this week.  Saturday was so beautiful that I started getting giddy just thinking about time in the sunshine. Happy Spring!

Here is a list of other bloggers that are sharing their Spring Bucket Lists:

What Jack's Wearing (Spring 2016)

Today I wanted to share with you several items I've recently purchased for Jack. We have lots of hand me downs from his older cousin Bennett that he will be rocking this spring but I also wanted to add some new items as well. All of these items were either purchased on Amazon or from Old Navy.

Easter Toddler Crafts

Sunday was a beautiful spring day. The family was together to let the two cousins play together outside. My dad grilled ribs and my mom fixed amazing sides. It was just the perfect afternoon!

Since it was so pretty outside I decided to do a few impromtu Easter/spring painting activities.

The first activity was suppose to look like this...

Well my little 2 year old can not handle all that stillness. Ours is not perfect but I think a non-perfect cross just makes sense. However, the OCD side of me was losing it but I let it go. 

For the second craft we did I used my nephew's cute little feet and a flower pot we had laying around.

It was a fun, easy, super cheap (I did buy the plaque for the cross at Walmart for less than $3), and quick Easter/spring craft time with the kiddos. The best part was the kids giggling when they had their feet painted. 

Best of Spring

I think, just maybe, that spring is on its way and we are done with all this cold icy weather mess. Since I LOVE spring so much (my favorite right after fall) I decided to share some awesome spring pins that are perfect right now.

To Cook

How about making a pan of these yummy sugar cookie bars from Somewhat Simple? Not only are they super yummy but perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any day this spring. 

To Wear

I'm loving these polka dot converses from Delia's. 

To DIY

This is one wreath I could actually make! Grab an umbrella and some fake flowers and you have a modern wreath with a pop of color! 

To Print

I love free printables! Print and stick inside a Dollar Tree frame and you have an instant decoration. I love cheap, easy, and fast :)

To Read

People have been talking about this book for some time now. It's been on my list for awhile and I'm ready to get to it as soon as I finish What Alice Forgot. 

To Drink

Yellow just screams spring to me. What better than to serve a classic like lemonade in more of a punch form? You could really do some things to dress it up in a beautiful punch bowl.

To Give

Giving just feels awesome, right? Give a few of these out in a co-workers box or a neighbors mailbox to help brighten their day.

What are you most excited about doing this spring?
