Monthly Moments: March 2026

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Well, it’s the last day of March. How did that happen so fast? I don’t know about you, but February seemed to drag on, but March flew by! There is something about the calendar turning to March, knowing spring is on the way, and it’s officially the downhill slide to summer.

Here’s a peek at some of the highlights of March:

We started off March with the indoor state meet for Hadley. Her 4×200 team went into the race ranked 13th in the state, and they had a 5 second PR, placing 6th in the state! She was all smiles.

Hadley had two volleyball tournaments in March, and thankfully we didn’t really have to travel for them. She had one in Louisville…

…and one in Lexington.

Here team continues to come together, and they are fun to watch. They came in 4th overall in this last tournament.

I’m still getting used to being a “baseball mom” again, but we went to the team’s auction at Legneds Field. It was nice to see some school friends and reconnect with some of the other baseball families.

One thing about baseball is…there’s some form of baseball every day. From practices to lessons to games, the calendar is full. I’m thankful Hayden can drive himself to most of these things!

I also made it to one of my nephew’s baseball games on a beautiful Saturday a couple of weeks ago. It was fun watching him play as well.

What a random St. Patrick’s Day we had! We woke up to black ice, causing a very late call for a two hour delay. Then, when it switched over to snow, the district called for an online learning day. I was thankful that I could just stay home rather than drive around in this mess.

Per tradition, I made my St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef, cabbage, and Irish soda bread. My brother and his family came for dinner the Sunday before St. Pat’s.

After the random snow on St. Patrick’s Day, we’ve had very springlike temps ever since…so we’re embracing the sunshine with windows and sun roofs open!

…as well as reading and walks outside whenever possible.

Outdoor track season started for Hadley. So far, she’s had two weekday meets, and she’s finding her groove in the 400 and 4×200 relay.

The professional pics came in, and they were so good.

To round out the month, I finally set out my Easter decor on Sunday. Easter kind of snuck up on me this year! I guess you could say that colorful bunnies are my weakness.

What was a highlight of the month for you?
