There is something about early March that makes me want to get my hands in the dirt — even if the air is still crisp and the forecast is playing games with us. If you’re a hobby gardener like me — no…

Yesterday was one of those great days. You know the type... the sun is shining and it's not too hot or humid. You can wear shorts and be comfortable all day, and staying indoors just feels wrong …

It's spring! Despite crazy storms and sharp winds, the flowers are blooming, the azaleas and cherry trees are blossoming, and it's almost spring break here in New Hanover County. I've bee…

Happy Wednesday! We're ready to enjoy spring, so we're getting our seeds started for our late spring and summer garden beds. I have the best helpers around!

Friends, we almost made it! It's almost glorious spring! I can feel the warmth in the air, the sun calling my name, and the slight breeze making the winter doldrums disappear. Here in coastal NC,…

In my elementary and teen years, spring break did not exist in our household.  School life on the Eastern Shore of Maryland started after Labor Day. We had a few teacher work days, federal holidays, …

It's that time of year... Spring Cleaning. It is one of my most dreaded tasks, but I know it needs to be done and once it is I will feel so good about it. The best part is I can do it in stages s…

Ahh.. it's almost spring! Hopefully for those of us in the south, that doesn't mean we are suddently induated with green yellow stuff in the air, but alas, we still yearn for the longer days,…

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm not sure how we've reached mid-week so quickly? Honestly, these weeks where I get to have my hubby home in the evenings fly by so super fast. I think the univers…
