One of the best things about Spring is the fresh air and sunlight that comes along with it. Most likely over the winter months you haven’t been able to enjoy a relaxing walk outdoors in nice weather. Take this opportunity to get some exercise and some Vitamin D to boost your energy and mood. 

Grab some friends or the family and head out to a local park or even the backyard for a spring picnic. Picnics are a great way to enjoy the outdoors, great food, and nice weather on a spring day. 

Flowers are an iconic symbol of spring. They may not be grown completely outdoors yet, but you can always stop by the local florist or grocery shop to grab a beautiful bouquet. Display them in a vase and help bring the beautiful spring weather indoors to your home. 

It’s time to break out the Spring décor and spruce up your home for the season. Spring means decorating with brighter colors, florals, and trendy patterns. Now is the time to ramp up your interior design skills and bring your home to life. 

Gardening is most successful when you start early and plan ahead. Even if the climate is not ready for planting just yet, the first day of spring is a great opportunity to start planning for this year’s vegetable and flower crops.

Warmer Spring weather means it’s time to break it back out though, and taste delicious and healthy meals while enjoying being outdoors.
