We hosted a nephew for an outdoor egg hunt. He’s two so his parents did most of the searching for the 100+ eggs.
Those are the kinds of activities you can do as a child free couple. Candy? Something that makes noise? An impractical toy? Yes!
They can sugar crash on their parent’s watch. I get the fun activities. I get the excitement of little ones in my life. And, I get a full night’s sleep.
I’ll consider that a win. My golden egg.
Wishing you a happy spring. Bloom where you are planted.

We started a bathroom remodel this week. It started out with changing galvanized pipes to copper due to leaking. Since we have to dismantle a wall and closet in the bathroom to get to the pipes, we now expanded the scope to a full remodel.
There’s intermittent water stoppage. Debris. Dust. Lots of dust to try to manage. A change in habits as we adjust to the loss of bathroom with daily life.
It gets worse before it gets better.
Like anything in life, when you change something- there is debris to clean up. It gets worse before it gets better. But, press forward because the change ahead is worth it. You are worth it.

I’m in the midst of planning an Easter egg hunt for a toddler. I’m hosting an outdoor egg hunt for my nephew next weekend. I’ve been shopping for toddler friendly items as he’s the youngest nephew in the family. It’s been a while since I’ve had to read labels for ages.
But, it’s fun to plan a kid’s activity. I feel like as an aunt, I get some of the best. Fun activities, silly time, and still full nights of sleep.
Easter is the time for renewal. Fresh starts. A season of growth.
I’m also waiting for the bulbs to bloom in various pastel colors. A changing landscape. Part of that changing landscape is for me is to enjoy activities with nephews. I don’t have kids but I can have peace and still make a difference in a different way. That’s growth for me.
What area are you growing in?
