Happy Friday! To all those mamas and papas out there, do your kiddos have spring fever? It’s hit our household big time. Both my kids seem out of sorts and I’m blaming Mother Nature. It’s been rain, followed by rain, followed by more rain. I am looking on the bright side (is that a bad pun?) the overcast weather will keep me inside to work on my 2017 Mother’s Day Gift Guide this weekend. Look for it next week.

We may see a few glimpses of sun this weekend, but the weather is so unpredictable here in Connecticut. In lieu of real sunshine, I made my own. I picked daffodils from my garden, brought out some green and white items from my closet, stopped by Alina’s and got myself the prettiest cupcake ever, and picked up three hand painted ducks for $1.00 at a local tag sale. They’re adorable!

I hope these photos bring some sunshine to your day! Have a wonderful weekend xo
