It seems appropriate that the start of spring is when I have decided to begin blogging. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time but have procrastinated, as is my habit. I’m going to be writing about the little things that bring me joy and help me cope with the ups and downs of everyday life. I will also share recipes that I love, pictures that I’ve taken , my art, poetry and much more.

Getting out and taking in the beauty around me has always made me happy. Recently I took a hike with four wonderful mommy friends. We are all very different people but the one thing we have in common is motherhood. We were able to enjoy nature, get some exercise and enjoyed some much needed adult conversation.

Spring and Fall are my favorite times of the year. With Spring comes new life, a new beginning and lots of eye candy for the artist in me. Here are some pictures from our hike.

Take some time in your busy schedules to take in the beauty around you. Here’s to new beginnings!
