There is something so hopeful, so fresh about the start of a new month and a new season. The start of the change from winter to spring feels like a breath of fresh air. On this first day of April, I am thankful for both the new season, and for the new opportunities it brings along with it.
Pausing to reflect back, I am so grateful for moments shared and memories made, both big and small. My goal for this new season is to create more white space in my daily schedule so I can enjoy these moments more fully. I see this including more walks with the pups, more cooking with my husband, more connecting with friends and family; less distraction, fewer time restraints.
Here are a few of my favorite March moments, all captured on my iphone:
Matthew and Rachel's beautiful wedding
...and dancing to awesome 90's music with friends :)

What a great way to embrace a new season! Spring is such a fitting time to reflect, refresh and renew! I too look forward to making more time with family and friends, as well as walks with my hubby and pup:) Love your idea of making more connections and less distractions!
