So Long Winter.

We went on our last ski trip of the year this past week. Its been a great way to actually enjoy winter and since learning how to ski last year, I haven't actually felt depressed at all when the snow hits & the flip flops migrate to unknown areas of the closet. I'm almost a little sad to see it go.....but then I think about summer & warm weather and going to Texas in a few weeks and I'm really not that sad haha! 

Anyway...I couldn't believe how beautiful the scenery was while we were on our trip. We got to see the last sunset before daylight savings & then the first sunrise after the change, so I feel like Spring is here. (I realise its not yet official, but the clocks changing totally makes it feel like its here)

Isn't God's creation beautiful? Hope your beginning to Spring has been awesome!

So a while back I entered Shane's contest for best Spring Pinterest board.

The things I found were awesome.

I thought the finds on my Pinterest board were worth sharing with you guys.

I know Summer is nearly here, but take a moment and enjoy these Spring things.

 Awesome Spring outfit.

Forget-Me-Not. 

No really. 

=P

Anyway, that was fun. 

Spring is such a wonderful season of new beginnings.

I can feel the freshness of life in the air.

So excited about the beautiful changes the Lord has in store.

Much Love,

Glorious Spring & Etsy Surprise.

I apologize for not posting on Monday this week, friends.

I have been struggling to get well after having a really bad flu bug. Sounds like the never-ending excuse but unfortunately it is true.

I am feeling much better this evening, finally after a day of unbelievably painful stomach cramps. 

My poor sweet husband ending up watching the 2 kids I was caring for today =)

He is amazing.

So hopefully my body is finally healing. I no longer have the flu or the sinus infection that followed.

So hopefully I can start working out again this week.

I don't think I shared my goal for working out. 

During lent I wanted to give up 'not exercising'....

I don't usually give up things for Lent but I used it as motivation to kick my own butt into getting into shape. 

So I started the Jillian Michael's six week six-pack. As it is mainly my abs that needed work.

I saw results after just a week. I don't do it every day as this started to give me bad joint problems. So I work out for 3 days, then take a day off. Then do 3 more and a day off.

I did stop while I was sick and have struggled to start again with all the other viral problems that followed.

My plan is to work out for 40 days (I figured this was roughly six weeks of intense workout with maybe a day off a week). So I am on day 14.....after about a 10 day break, which was unplanned.

Just thought I would share.

And leave you with some beautiful pictures of the blossom trees in our neighbourhood.

A & I went for a walk and enjoyed looking at them all.

I think the white ones look like giant cottonballs on trees.

I have added several to my Etsy store which you can buy as prints.....

I'm in love with fashion, Friday.

Who doesn't love friday. 

Especially when you know that the weekend is wide open for fun things with the hubby.

This might be our first relaxing weekend this month.

Crazy.

I plan on enjoying it.

So...a lot of these remind me of the fashion style in Oxford (yes, the real one in England). 

Maybe some of it rubbed off on me =)
