10 on the 10th

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Y’all, how is it already the 10th of March?! This month is already flying by! I’m linking up with Marsha for the 10 on the the 10th link up..

This month’s prompt is…

I love this prompt because I’m so happy that spring seems to have sprung!

1. More Daylight!

Yay! for longer days and more sunshine, even though this is currently how I feel:

2. Warmer temps

I appreciate the sunshine on a 70 degree day, but I actually don’t mind a sunny cooler day either. The sun seems to shine brighter in the spring which I appreciate!

3. Walks

I definitely tend to go on more walks in the spring. The temps are perfect and I guess after the winter months, I want to get outside.

4. Fresh air/open windows

I love the fresh air in the spring. It feels like a big sigh of relief for surviving winter. We had our windows open over the weekend which was lovely. Honestly though, once things start blooming we won’t be able to do that much thanks to allergies!

5. Green grass and flowers

I love seeing the green grass in the spring. It’s a wonderful sign of hope from Mother Nature after the snow in the winter. Of course, that means we have to start mowing the grass, but that’s Hayden’s job. haha

I usually wait until Mother’s Day to put flowers on the front porch, but I also love seeing what blooms before then.

6. Keeneland

I love Keeneland in the fall, but nothing beat Keeneland in the spring!

7. Seasonal eating

I love chili and soup and anything that goes in the slow cooker, but it is nice to start having other dinner options. Just last night, Travis picked up steaks to grill, and it was nice to have some variety for our dinner. Also, we tend to start eating more vegetables and I appreciate that the fruit options tend to be better and more abundant.

Plus, we will eat on our back patio in the spring more than any other time of the year which is literally a breath of fresh air!

8. Sandals

Oh…I love being able to wear sandals as soon as possible. I usually get a pedicure around spring break, and then there is no turning back! I actually hate wearing shoes, so I wear sandals April to October. It’s almost time!

These continue to be my faves and most worn. I have had two pairs through the years, and I love them more than my Birks!

9. Baseball

I love baseball, and I’m so happy it’s baseball season. Growing up, the KC Royals were always on the TV at home, even during the many lean years. Hayden is as big of a KC Royals fan as I am, and I often have the games on at home too.

Also, this spring, I’m a baseball mom again! Hayden has decided to take a break from running/track, and he made the school’s baseball team! This has been a fun change for him, so we’ll spend lots of time at baseball games this spring.

10. Spring break

Oh! Once spring break arrives, it’s the downhill slide to summer! I always appreciate this break and feel like I need it so much more than fall break. We tend to usually go somewhere for spring break which is fun, but we’re always last minute planners.

This year, our spring break is a week later, so it does still feel like it’s forever far away. I guess I’m going to depend on warmer spring days to get me through.

Have a great day!
