The very first Easter taught us this: that life never ends and love never dies.
Easter season has finally arrived, so grab your baskets for festive egg hunts!
Somebody once told me that the earth laughs in flowers and I cannot agree more. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be hitting my favorite nursery for plants—I can’t wait! The storm has finally passed. The spring has come. Love, hope, and renewal are in the air. It is time for a second chance!
I haven’t done many blogs over the last few months because not much has been going on. My life is finally calming down after a storm that hit it so hard and lasted for so long — a storm I thought I would not survive, but here I am. Reborn again. Some day I will tell you all about the latest storm that was determined to destroyed me, but not today. Today, I am happy. I’m happy to report that not much has been going on. I write, work-out, cook. On the weekends I clean and make it a point to visit my parents.
That’s pretty much how it goes.
The rest of my time is spent with these two gorgeous humans.
Tomorrow I’m making beignets, my guilty pleasure.
So, while celebrating with the yummiest Easter candy and snapping pictures of you and your family looking your Sunday best, it’s also important to remember what this springtime holiday is really about: the season of renewal. This day marks rebirth in so many different ways, whether you celebrate the religious origins of the holiday or not, one thing is for certain, spring will come and so will happiness. Hold on. Life will get warmer.
“Easter is the only time when it’s perfectly safe to put all of your eggs in one basket.”
And with that being said, I’m going to curl up with a book for awhile. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and safe Easter weekend.

A New Year is like a blank book, and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself. Happy Writing!
In Columbia people wear red underwear for love or yellow for money backwards, but by midnight, they have to be put on right.
In Ecuador, they make a doll to burn. It signifies the burning away of the old year and the welcoming of the new one. Men dress up in drag and pretend to be the “widow” of the doll and beg for coins in the streets to help pay for the funeral costs.
In Turkey, women wear red underwear for good luck. Also, they believe that it’s how you enter into the New Year, that’s how your whole year is going to be, for example: if you are spending your New Year’s Eve with friends and having fun, you’ll be surrounded with friends and have fun all year long.
