Winter seems to want to hold on, blustering in and blowing, but I’m ready now for Spring to arrive. How about you? This week I’ll be featuring a few posts that bring me the hope of Spring. But first, last week’s post was from The Guilty Chocoholic Mama. I love the thoughts she shares from her heart as she packs away baby onesies and reminds herself her ‘babies’ still need her, not matter how old they get.
I was especially encouraged by the spring-themed posts last week. There were too many to list here so feel free to visit again and find more inspiration!
- How to Start a Container Garden — I always learn new things from Kathi at Oak Hill Homestead.
- How to Set a Fanciful and Easy Easter Brunch Table — Gorgeous tablescape for any spring day from Jennifer at Celebrating Everyday Life.
- How To Speed Clean Your Home Like A Pro — I need all the help I can get, and these tips from Shirley at Intelligent Design are great!

Oh my goodness, Linda!!! Thank you so, SO much for the lovely surprise and honor of being one of your features this week!

I just LOVED that post from Guilty Chocholic Mama; it really spoke to me and reminded me that just because my boys are older it doesn’t mean they don’t need me.
Linda says
I felt the same when reading it, Joanne <3 So glad you stopped and joined us again this week!

Our cooler weather is just beginning here, so some of these amazing recipes from this talented community will definitely be on the agenda!
Thankyou for hosting Linda,
