10 Fun Ways To Welcome Spring
10 Fun Ways To Welcome Spring. This is the most exciting season as people are saying goodbye to the cold. Fashion changes, and there are more activities to do. Check out how you can spice up this year’s spring.
1. Clean
Spring cleaning is a real thing and it’s something we can all benefit from. After months of having windows closed and the heat on, it will feel great to open everything up, let fresh air in and dust off every surface possible. To make it seem less like work, put on some music while you clean and before you know it, everything will be spotless.
2. Get Fresh Flowers
Welcome spring by filling rooms with fresh flowers. Whether it’s bouquets of freshly cut wild flowers or pretty potted plants, nothing says spring quite like the addition of beautiful blooms
3. Host A Tea Party
A fun, casual tea party is the perfect way to welcome the new season. After months of cold weather that has kept you confined to the house, it’s time for a light snack and catch-up with close friends.
4. Clean Out Your Coat Closet
Say goodbye to winter with a refresh of your coat closet. Donate what you didn’t wear this past season (be honest!) and move the current season’s items to the front so they are easily accessible. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can move on to other closets, too.
5. Revitalize Your Family Time
Instead of movie night, how about a Friday early-evening or Saturday morning breakfast picnic? Take a short drive to a nearby state park, natural area, lake or waterfall and look for adventures along the way. Take a spring drive without any agenda without anywhere to be at a certain time.
6. Switch Up Your Eating Routine
New fruits and vegetables are coming in to season, and its time to take a step back from the winter comfort food and indulge in spring time food medleys. Lighter fare such as salads and sandwiches provide welcome relief from those heavy winter roasts. Take the time to enjoy the fresh local produce as it starts to reappear in stores and on our plates.
7. Get Planting
Either indoors or out, it’s time to put your green thumb to good use! As the temperatures increase during the spring months, this is the perfect opportunity to get a head start on your garden. Start with vegetables like potatoes and garlic, which are more tolerant to the slightly cooler conditions.
8. Get Outside!
Without a doubt, spring is the perfect time to go for walks, bike rides, hikes, or just sit outside and bask in the fact that it is not freezing cold anymore! Just remember to bring a rain jacket or an umbrella, as the weather can still be notoriously unpredictable.
9. Visit The Zoo
This is a wonderful family activity that the little ones will especially enjoy. Spring, in particular, is an ideal time to head to the zoo since it won’t be jam-packed as it often is during the peak summer season. This means that you won’t be faced with huge lineups and you’ll be able to get up close and person with your favourite animals.
10. Set Fresh Goals
A fresh start is a great time to set new goals for yourself. They can be about anything from school, to work, to organization. Write them down and keep them somewhere you will see every day so you’re reminded of what you want to accomplish this season
