Spring has SPRUNG!

Spring is finally here! The warm weather, the birds chirping and the mosquito's biting.  Yup, it's here.  Time to get out those shorts from the closet and realize that "maybe" they are a little too tight.  Time to watch what your eating a little more and not shove your face full of food you'll regret later on!

The sun and warmth also bring you in a better mood mentally.  After sitting home all winter without a job, you do get bored, you do get depressed and you do wish you had something fun to do.  Now that it's warm out we can go for bike rides, play baseball and just enjoy being outside!  My oldest is playing baseball right now so he has his games this week.  It's fun to see him doing something he enjoys.  My youngest wants to go on a bike ride everyday down the road.  But really I think he just wants to visit the older gentleman that gives him candy when he visits.

I am feeling very blessed with my Etsy Shop lately.  I'm 3 away from 250 sales and not that very long ago I was begging to pass 50.  It amazes me how I've done so well lately and that people enjoy my products!  Don't forget to "like" me on Facebook either! You won't regret it!

Winter? It's April in Michigan.

So yesterday was almost 70 degrees, the heat was off in the house, windows cracked to get some fresh air flowing and all was good.  Throw in some storms and then there is today, cold, heat back on, windows shut and SNOW! Yup I said it, SNOW!  It is April 19th, and we are having snow!  BBBRRR

I am really ready for spring.  I'm ready to see the sunshine, enjoy the outdoors, and even more let the boys play outside. 

We got rid of cable tv this week, in an effort to save money and get the kids from not watching as much tv also.  We won't really miss it.  With Netflix, movies and local channels off the Antenna, not much you can miss.  You can watch almost any show the next day after it's aired online too. 

Chris and Brody also built a little computer called a Raspberry Pi, it's pretty awesome.  You just hook it up to your tv, load the software and it's good to go! Cheap too!!  Brody built a Lego case for it, since it's only about 3" x 4" long.

Hopefully we can do some yard work this weekend, we need to get our new mailbox up!

Where you right, Mr. Groundhog?

So if Spring is on it's way earlier this year, where is it?  Most of us northern folks are getting anxious to step outside and enjoy the warmer weather, and as spring approaches, we all wish we could be on the beach somewhere, or enjoying a great baseball game with family and friends!  Detroit Tiger's are a favorite baseball team in our family and we enjoy going to the games and just baseball in general.  There is nothing quite like a night game when the weather is amazing and your favorite team is winning!  Maybe a couple cold beers in your hand to help with the heat will do also! :) 

I made these cute keychains that go perfect for the Detroit Tiger's lover in your life!! Check them out on my Etsy Site.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/125389588/detroit-tigers-acrylic-keychain?

Now here in our area of Michigan, it's supposed to be 50's this weekend.  That's like a hot spell for us! I hope the snow melts and we can semi-enjoy the outdoors this weekend!  Enjoy your week!
