Tell me I’m wrong.
It feels like yesterday that you were pulling on your boots and scarf to brave the weather.
You were sipping hot chocolates, bundling up under cozy blankets, reading that awesome Hygge book that everyone’s been Instagramming non-stop, pondering the correct pronunciation of the word “Hygge”… and of course, dreaming of all the perfect things you were going to do in the Spring.
And suddenly, here it is! It’s caught you, you’ve been blind-sided, and now you’re trying to work out just how, exactly, you’re going to get the most out of the sweetest of the four seasons.
Or maybe that’s just me?
Because to me it felt like Spring hit literally on the first of this month, like “WHAM BAM, here I AM!”
And suddenly it’s sunny and we don’t need to run the expensive oil heater in Jackson’s room overnight and oh yeah our backyard is PROLIFIC (with weeds and wild nasturtiums) and there are butterflies ERRYWHERE.
Personally, I adore Winter, but even I can admit that the abrupt change in season from Winter to Spring always gives me all the warm toasty feels. The kids and I spend SO MUCH TIME outside every day! And something about it all gives me mad spring cleaning/life fixing vibes. Change is in the air! And it smells like honeysuckle!
I just want to soak in Spring. Come Summer, I’ll probably be hiding in my fridge-cold air-conditioned bedroom. I am basically allergic to hot weather. Like it actually disgusts me to my core.
BUT.
Spring is my jam.
FACT: Not one single human being on the entire planet has ever hated Spring.
(Alright, that is clearly a made-up statistic but I think it has some clout, no?)
I wanted to create a Spring bucket list to ensure that I squeeze every last awesome drop out of Spring this year. The things I see in Spring. The things that happen in Spring. All the lovely things associated with Spring. A Spring things list!

Now I figured you wouldn’t want to come back to this blog post every day to check the list and pick a new item to tick off (though no blogger in her right mind would say no to all those delicious page views. Hee hee.)
So you you’ve got two options. You could copy and paste the above into a word document to print blandly in black & white, Arial size 12.
Or.
Orrrrr.
You could download the super pretty printable version I made just for you.
Please ensure you read my privacy policy before providing any personal information.
This free printable is AWESOME… but my mailing list is even better!
Signing up to receive this free printable does NOT automatically place you on my mailing list – but you should totally jump in on it!
So the only question left is: which item are you going to attack first?! Personally I’m eyeing off number 10 something fierce. Followed closely by number 24.
Pin this list for later or even share it with your friends on Facebook!

Happy Spring, beautiful people! Make it count!
