side from the constant sneezing and hayfever induced sleepiness, I absolutely adore spring. I love that it’s chilly enought to sleep at night, cool enough in the morning to wear a cardigan and warm enough in the afternoon to wear a sleeveless summer dress. I’m positively inspired by the weather recently so I’ve made a list of 51 things to do this spring. Enjoy!

What are your plans this spring? Any special on the cards? Or are you content with something simple like reading a magazing under a tree?

I love some of these suggestions, feeling a bit yuk and number one today is feed some ducks. I like the idea of a mental health day too, may end up in a park reading…feeding ducks!

Ducks will fix everything. That’s a promise. 🙂

It actually makes me happy to see how many of these things I do regularly :
-
Oh good on you! I love to hear about people taking care of themselves!

What a great list! Reminds me of your ‘Why Don’t You…’ lists, I’d love to see those on the blog again!
-
It’s so weird with the Why Don’t Yous because people always request them but no one reads, shares or interacts with them. It’s really weird. I’m not playing a numbers game or anything but I take stock of my stats to see what people enjoy and share and Why Don’t Yous are at the bottom of the heap, yet people ask about them all the time? It’s weird! 🙂

Wow, girl – what a list! You’ve thought of just about everything. I particularly like buying cheap flowers each week. I used to do that but stopped for some reason – even though it made me sublimely happy. Best start that up again. x
-
I’m lucky I’ve got a cheapy florist just up the road from me! Might buy some today actually! 🙂

This is such a great list. It might take me more than one spring to work through them all! I’m doing a 10k run at the weekend so that’s a great way to start (heaven help me) and I’d love to get really good at Pinterest, although I’m thinking that once I get really good at, and fall down the rabbit hole that is Pinterest, I might not ever find the time to do the other 49 other things!

That’s exactly how I feel – I think I just need to get in the groove with it and it will all come together! Good luck on your 10 km! x
