Spring

Just wait until you hear what season we're in right now.

Spring has sprung and it's time for all of the beautiful flower fields around the Midwest to reach their peak bloom. Last year's big trend was sunflower fields. I swear from the second it got warm out I saw pictures every day of people visiting local sunflower fields...

It's finally windows open, ceiling fans on weather. There's certain things you learn in adulthood that not only blow your mind, but also change your life. One of these tips has to do with your ceiling fan. I found out about this on Tik Tok, where I find out all important tips and tricks...

It's officially check for ticks season. The other day my boyfriend and I were sitting on the couch after dinner watching TV. All of a sudden he raises his shin up and is like, "Oh snap, there's a tick on me"! I started panicking being like wait we have to burn if off of you...

Allergies - I HATE YOU. I'm that person who is constantly sniffing, sneezing, blowing my nose, etc. basically year round. I have a ton of indoor AND outdoor allergies, but the time of year they're the worst is definitely spring. It's even more annoying this year because every allergy symptom I have in public people look at me all scared because they think it could be COVID-19...

Warm weather, is that you? It's time to start filling your calendar with ALL of the outdoor activities. The pandemic has reminded us how amazing it is to spend time outdoors enjoying time with your family. A great place to spend some time outdoors enjoying nature is Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford...

Can we officially say it's Spring yet? The calendar may say yes, but sometimes Illinois weather says NOPE. I think we're finally safe from the snow. So that means it's time to put the winter clothes back in the closet and break out the sandals and shorts...

Spring has sprung, and that means it's flower season. I feel like last year the big thing to do was sunflower fields. But that's so 2020. How about a field filled with over 300,000 tulips? Sounds pretty magical to me. So where can you experience this flower fun...

We've all been chomping at the bit to get outdoors and have some fun. My kids have literally been begging to put their gloves on to dig in the dirt for weeks now, (which is something they have never asked to do before, so I am assuming that is just how starved they are for outdoor fun)...

The first day of Spring is almost here. We can officially declare Winter is over this Saturday, March 20! When Spring is finally here, what will you do to embrace it? You could do some spring cleaning, get your yard looking right, or even finally turning off the heat and opening some windows...
