What's blooming

Part of my self-care routine these days ensures that I'll see cherry and apple blossoms for the next month.

Yes, like so many others, I have managed to make a walk a daily practice. On the days I can't squeeze at least a 10 minute solo walk in I get REALLY cranky. And I think it's worse nowadays because I'm really loving the sight of all the blossoms.

I mean, look at this:

Couldn't you just get lost in there?!

The more I thought about it this week, the more I felt compelled to bless everyone with these blossoms, so I took a good close-up snap and put it on some accessories on the online store.

I was also filled with a bit of guilt for not thinking of this sooner so I launched a limited time 10% discount. Code: INBLOOM.

And I didn't stop there. Because I DID actually go out to walk every day this week, which put me in a pretty good mood. So In honor of my little one's upcoming birthday, I'll be rolling out another discount soon. Stay tuned!

But if you need something right NOW, I want to offer up this spring time recipe that may just make you eat brussels sprouts. Yup, don't knock it until you try it. My kids love this one...
