Hello friends, and happy March.
I'm joining Amy from the blog, Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa, for her Currently link-up. It's held on the first Wednesday of each month.
This month, we are sharing what we are loving, saving your life right now - cleaning/purging, planning (trip wise), taking a beak from (since it's spring break month).
LOVING: What I'm loving is that we are slowly approaching the end of winter. It's been a brutal winter, with temperatures so cold, and we've had a lot of snow. We are dealing with our second huge snow storm and blizzard of 2026. I never imagined the winter would have been so cold and snowy. I am eager for the snow to melt and enjoy more bright and sunny days ahead. Bring on spring!
SAVING YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW - CLEANING/PURGING: I've been cleaning out our closets. I organized our coat closet, and I donated a bag of hats and scarves to the needy. My husband and I went through our clothes, and we donated a bag of clothes to Goodwill. I always feel good when I organize and go through our clothes and donate them to Goodwill.
PLANNING (TRIP WISE): We are all hoping to plan a trip to New Jersey and rent a house on the Jersey Shore. We did that two years ago and we were able to bring our dog Lucy with us. We all have a great time, and it's so nice to go to the beach each day.
TAKING A BREAK FROM (SINCE IT'S SPRING BREAK MONTH): What I'm taking a break from for Lent is eating chocolate. My husband and I usually share a piece of dark chocolate with a cup of espresso each afternoon. It will be nice when we can go back to sharing a piece of chocolate together.
What is currently new with you?
Julie
Julie, it always feel good to organize and to donate. I am always going through items around the house and clothes. Such a good feeling when it’s all finished. Spring is around the corner. A trip to the New Jersey shore is a nice getaway. My husband’s brother and wife own a beach house at the NJ shore. I remember that fabulous deli there.
ReplyDeleteI've been re-doing our closets and purging a lot! Do you have something instead of the chocolate now? I would miss the sweet treat too!
ReplyDeleteYour trip to Jersey sounds wonderful. I have been cleaning and purging things too. Feels great to have things organized and to get rid of things we do not need. Have a great new week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThis is fun. I'm with you on the end of winter! Not soon enough! I don't want to wish away the days -- I want to just wish away the weather!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up! That sounds like such a nice ritual - the espresso and dark chocolate. Can you replace it with a Bischoff for the rest of Lent? Lol. Maybe not.
ReplyDeleteI have some donation bags that I need to get to my car. It's been non-stop raining though.
What a winter it's been. I really thought it would be mild this year! Nope!
My step father gave up chocolate for lent too; it was hard to keep that in mind when we were visiting and eating things like brownie sundaes. I am so ready for spring too. It's nice and warm and sunny today and I can literally see the snow melting and the piles shrinking just a bit.
