My Answer to Spring Fever

Will spring ever get here??  I know I’ve heard some version of this question from everyone I meet lately.  It has been a wicked winter this year, especially for those of us looking after little ones.  When snowstorms came --sitters cancelled.  When school and activities cancelled -- you couldn’t.

So I’ve been doing my best to get ready for warmer days ahead.  I turned myself in at the beauty counter at Sephora and got my face “freshened up” by the lovely Zulma.  Even though I can’t exactly recreate the results it was worth the $40 bucks.

Then I started going through last year’s spring wardrobe and picked a summer peachy top to go with my predictable dull dark winter clothing.  Sure it’s a little tight because who hasn’t been indulging a little more with the colder weather? It does give me something to shoot for (5 pounds to go).

Instead of letting Sasha make chalk sketches by herself, I got down on the floor and drew some pretty pink and purple flowers to usher in the new season.  She quickly erased them saying “all done!” But the point is I made the effort. 

Even though waiting for spring this year seems like waiting on the winning lottery numbers it will be warm soon enough, we just have to hold on.
