Spring Equinox is almost here, this year it falls on a Saturday , March 20th, to be exact. Here in Northeast, PA we’ve finally started to thaw out from a very snowy Winter, one I actually really liked. I like to try and be present in every season and just as I love when the warm weather breaks, I love when nature dumps 10 pounds of snow and makes you slow down.
Spring is always exciting. Everything is coming alive again, warming up, days stretch longer into evenings (check with me late Summer when I am 110 percent OVER the 12 billion hour mom day though), those of us who garden are started to really get going with preparation and planting , and everyone is looking forward to getting moving in the sunshine.
The start of a new season is an opportunity to take a pause and reflect on the past season and look ahead into what we hope to accomplish in the upcoming one. By staying present during the change of the seasons, we honor ourselves, nature, and our family unit in all the ways everything is constantly changing, but yet stays the same.
Here are a few nice ideas I have come across for celebrating the upcoming Spring Equinox, with littles, and a few for grown-ups as well…
This list of Children’s Books to that Welcome Spring comes from Naturally Educational and has some great pics for exploring Spring with littles. A favorite title of mine is

Great post, Rebekah! I had no idea that your blog had evolved into the lovely one you have here. I don’t spend as much time on the internet as I used to so that’s not really saying much 😉 Nevertheless, it captures so many of your sides and I think that’s awesome. Love the spring dinner party ideas and cocktail suggestion and visual list of natural dyes — so cool! I am so not a fan of that artificial business so thank you! Hope all is wonderfully well where you are, xoxo Christina
