I'm joining Holly and Patty for their Monthly Musings. This months topic is Essential Spring Fashion Pieces.
HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:
1. How do you transition your wardrobe? I usually take out of my drawers: turtlenecks, heavy sweaters, and sweatshirts. I also like to put away heavy coats. I like to add in lighter sweaters, cardigans, light long sleeve shirts, and 3/4 sleeve tops. I like to hang in my coat closet light jackets and coats.
2. Favorite spring items? I love wearing light sweaters and 3/4 sleeve tops. I like wearing light colored pants and shoes.
3. Favorite spring footwear? I love wearing my light tan Steeve Madden flat sneakers with my jeans and leggings.
4. Favorite colors you wear in spring? I love wearing pastel colors. I also like wearing army green and dark grey colored tops with jeans or leggings.
5. Favorite spring accessory? I like wearing light colored sunglasses, and light colored crossbody handbags.
6. Ways to add spring to your outfit even when the weather doesn't cooperate? I will add a light colored scarf with a top and cardigan or wear a light colored coat.
7. Do you change up your makeup routine in spring? Yes. I like wearing light colored eye shadow. I will use an SPF foundation or CC cream. I like to use Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Broad Spectrum SPF 50. I also like to wear light pink and coral lipstick.
8. Puff sleeve trend...yes or no? Yes. I love this look for spring. It looks nice for tops and dresses.
9. Do you change up your mani/pedi colors in spring? I always change my mani/pedi to light colors in the spring. I love wearing light pink nail polish.
10. Recommend your favorite spring handbag/tote. I love using my Lola Mae quilted crossbody handbag from Amazon. I have the bag shown in the color Blush Light.
Yay for spring. I can't wait to change my wardrobe to spring clothes!

Hello friends. This is the first time I'm linking up with Jennifer from Overflowing With Thankfulness for her fun link-up Four Things.
For the last Saturday of each month, she prompts us to share Four Things that we Loved, Read, Learned, and Ate.
LOVED:
We recently went to Tim Hortons for breakfast. We had egg sandwiches, donuts, and coffee. We love going to Tim Hortons on occasion and I think it's better than Dunkin Donuts. Have you ever had Tim Hortons?
We went to Trader Joe's after our breakfast and I was so happy to see the spring flowers on display.
READ:
I loved reading Nancy Drew mystery books when I was little. My daughter had a collection of these books that I saved. I was excited to read again The Mystery of the 99 Steps by Carolyn Keene. I was and still am a Nancy Drew fan. This was a fun read that takes you all over Paris and Nancy and her Dad have to try and solve a mystery case together. Have you read any Nancy Drew books?
LEARNED:
I've learned that I love drinking craft ciders from DOWNEST. I've had the Pomegranate and Blackberry flavors. On a recent shopping trip to Trader Joe's, we bought DOWNEAST. My daughter turned me onto them and I'm so glad I found a drink I like. Have you tried DOWNEAST?
ATE:
My husband and I went out for brunch recently on a Sunday afternoon. It was the first time we went to this restaurant and we both enjoyed our afternoon brunch. We had unlimited coffee, a basket full of bagels, and pound cake with butter and marmalade.
My husband had french toast with bacon.
I had crepes stuffed with cheese, turkey, two eggs, and avocado served with a side salad.
I hope you all have a nice weekend.

Hello friends. It's been a while since I've done a Costco Finds blog post. I didn't realize that the last time I did a post was back in June.
On my most recent shopping trip to Costco, I did notice that they are not selling any more kids or adult books. This is such a disappointment to me. I do on occasion like to give books as presents to people. Does your Costco sell books?
I also found these Costco price tag secrets on Instagram.
I found some great buys I thought you'd like to see.
I spotted this Mondetta Knit Fleece Crewneck sweatshirt. It comes in dark blue and black. I bought the purple color to wear for spring.
I love these Marc New York jogger pants. This is the second pair of pants I bought and they come in three colors. I bought them in black as they go with everything and the pants are so soft.
I found these women's gummy multivitamins. I don't like taking big pills so these are working out.
We bought these iron pills for my daughter to take each day.
These Systane dry eye drops come three in a package. We all use these eye drops for our dry eyes.
We have a Nespresso espresso machine. We use these Peet's capsules to make coffee each day.
I picked up this Neutrogena Hydro Boost face cream for my daughter and I. This cream is light and soaks right into my skin. I love how it moisturizes my face. I usually use this or Olay Regenerist face cream.
We bought Irish soda bread before St. Patrick's Day. The bread was ok and it tasted better heated up with butter. I won't be buying this Irish Soda bread again.
I picked up these Puma sports bras. I already have them and they are so comfortable. They are perfect for my workouts at my gym and for everyday wear.
My husband likes and uses these razor blades from Harry's.
Heather from Our Life In a Click also enjoys sharing her Costco finds.
Have you bought anything from Costco lately?

Hello friends. Happy Friday and St. Patrick's Day! ☘
I love celebrating St. Patrick's Day by going to an Irish pub for lunch or dinner with my husband. I usually have a traditional corned beef and cabbage meal.
One of my traditions for St. Patrick's Day is to make Irish Soda Bread.
I love eating the Irish Soda Bread with butter. It tastes so good this way.
I decided two years ago to make Irish Soda Bread Muffins. The muffins tasted good and we even had them for breakfast with butter on top.
Wishing you a happy Friday and St. Patrick's Day!💚
How will you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

Hello friends. I love when I find recipes from other bloggers to try out. Kitty, from Kitty's Kozy Kitchen, recently posted on her blog that she made gnocchi with sausage and broccoli.
I've never cooked gnocchi at home. I might have had gnocchi a long time ago in a restaurant. Kitty's recipe looked easy to cook and I knew my family would love this Italian dish for dinner.
I went to my local grocery store and I bought two 14 ounce packages of frozen gnocchi. I used one 14oz. package and the gnocchi was cooked and ready in about 4 minutes.
I thought this dish tasted delicious and my husband said that the dish was awesome tasting!
For Kitty's gnocchi with sausage and broccoli recipe you can click here.
Thank you Kitty for this recipe to make Gnocchi with Sausage and Broccoli!
Have you ever eaten gnocchi?

Hello friends and happy March!
I'm linking up with Jennifer from Overflowing With Thankfulness to talk about what I'm currently loving, starting, finishing, trying, and where we're going.
LOVING:
We have an air fryer that we've been using a lot lately. My daughter made dinner for us using the air fryer. She made air fryer salmon bowls with vegetables and rice. The salmon bowls were delicious tasting and a healthy meal. I've made air fryer chicken and air fryer salmon that were easy and delicious meals. I'm hoping to find more air fryer recipes to try out.
STARTING:
I recently started a new crochet project. I had some leftover yarn in my stash that I wanted to use. I'm making small crocheted shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.
FINISHING:
I started making crocheted shamrocks a few weeks ago. I used this easy pattern to make the shamrocks for St. Patricks Day. I am hoping to finish the shamrocks garland soon. To get the directions on how to crochet a garland, you can click here.
TRYING:
I'm trying to incorporate more vegetables into our dinner each night. I made a vegetable stir-fry with olive oil, garlic, hot pepper flakes, and low-sodium soy sauce.
WHERE WE'RE GOING:
I love attending the Macy's Flower Show each year. It's held each spring at the Macy's store in New York City and the event is free. This year the flower show is from March 26, 2023, to April 9, 2023. I'm hoping to attend the flower show again this year. To read about my visit to the flower show last year, you can click here.
What is currently new with you?
