Loving April

**I posted this on my One Small Change Blog this morning and wanted to share with you all over here as well!

This month is just cruising along! April is always a busy month for my family as we celebrate my oldest daughters birthday, we start playing in the garden, and backyard get togethers start to naturally occur. Everything about April just makes me happy! We start to emerge from our little caves and congregate with neighbors talking about how fun the summer is going to be.


As we start to sleep with our windows open, break out the shorts and flip flops, and eat our meals outside, it is the perfect month to start really focusing on taking care of our Earth. April is really a great time to appreciate how life comes back from the cold of winter and everything is in such harmony if we just let it be.


This morning I woke up to birds chirping and as I looked out the window I saw a bird gathering supplies to build a nest. My children rushed outside to play after breakfast instead of begging to watch TV. While I sat in my kitchen drinking some chai I listened to the laughs and joy of children playing outside at 8:00 am on a Tuesday morning. I truly love April!

  1. april is like emerging from a cave. I love taking care of my plants, starting seedlings (for the first time ever after many phone consultations with my mom), and seeing my children relish the sun-shine and fresh air. Now, if I could only find a sunscreen that doesn't use nano-technology. Any ideas? Happy April to you!

  2. Oh I know! Today is rainy rainy here, but most days my kids are outside really soon after waking up. I've been sleeping with my window opened a crack too so me and Lake wake up a little earlier too. I LOVE it!
