Happy weekend, friends! March is already in full bloom here (well, off the mountain – but it is sunny, so I’ll take it!), and I’ve been soaking up every second of the almost-spring sunshine. It’s that magical time of year when the daffodils start showing off, the windows stay open just a little longer, and I find myself reaching for lighter layers, healthier meals, and even more intentional routines.
This week has been full of a few green things—from simple sustainable swaps to celebrating life’s little joys. Here’s what’s been on my heart, in my home, and in my basket this week:
🚲 Birthday Bike Rides + Family Time
This weekend, Jayson and I are heading out for a bike ride with my father-in-law—it’s his birthday weekend, and we’re making it special with some fresh air, mountain views, and quality time on the trail. It’s one of those moments I look forward to: moving slowly, breathing deeply, and celebrating someone we love in the best way we know how—outside.
We’ll be gathering with the whole family (Eben and his girlfriend, Elizabeth, will be joining us!) on Sunday to celebrate him (complete with cake, of course!). And there’s just something so sweet about these early spring weekends when the whole house is buzzing with food, laughter, and shared stories.
🌼 Fresh, Feel-Good Favorites from the Blog
This week on the blog has been full of feel-good, spring-ready content that I hope inspires you to live a little greener, a little slower, and a little more intentionally:
🛁 Savoring Slow Moments – I’m still dreaming about a soak in the tub (this week has been busy!) which reminds me WHY I need to slow down and reset!
🐣 Eco-Friendly Easter Ideas – From plastic-free baskets to natural egg dyes, I shared simple swaps for a greener celebration that’s still full of joy.
🧼 Getting the Garden Ready – I’ve been loving my copy of Plants with Superpowers by David Domoney, it’s giving me so much gardening inspiration!
🌷 Easter Basket Goodies for Baby – Thoughtful, sustainable picks like KeaBabies muslin towels and burp cloths—perfect for little ones and new parents this season.
☕ Currently Loving
- Lavender tea + a book before bed (this week’s read: something light and cozy)
- Slow mornings with the windows cracked open—just a little snuggling with Olive (our Frenchie) in the morning.
- Fresh tulips on the kitchen table—a simple joy I never get tired of
- Dreaming up garden plans (and maybe even a few new herbs for the kitchen)
💚 Just a Thought
It doesn’t take much to live more intentionally. A quiet walk. A swapped-out eco-friendly product. A family meal made from scratch. A reused Easter basket filled with homemade treats.
It’s not about doing everything perfectly—it’s about doing a few green things, again and again, until they become a lifestyle you love.
Wishing you a weekend filled with fresh air, good food, and sweet celebration. And if you find yourself outside with the people you love, soaking up the sunshine—know that’s the greenest thing of all. 🌞🌿
Until next time,
