FOR THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING – Nana K presents a Spring Round-up of the Ten Best Spring Round-ups
Some say March 20, some March 21 but the sun officially crossed the equator this year at 3:58 PM on Wednesday, March 20 in my time zone (Central Standard Time). So I am a few hours late!!
Since this is my first year of blogging, I wanted to do a spring round-up. But not just any round-up. The ultimate round-up. The most awesome spring round-up ever.
So I am doing a round-up of round-ups. The challenge– to find the 10 best spring round-ups!
(Note: I am Not affiliated with any of these sites !!!)
Because this needs to be the best of spring round-ups, I stepped away from focusing on just my niche and included some home decorating, fashion, activity and recipe (glug) round-ups. I needed to keep this round-up rounded. Meaning, we need to cover ALL the topics available.
So, if you are ready….. Here (in my humble opinion) are the 10 best spring round-ups that I found.
10. SPRING CLEANING
Yuck!! Everyone hates this job but this blog from Good Housekeeping describes ways to make it easier so you can get out there and enjoy that nice weather!
9. ACTIVITIES
I am not sure if this is a round-up but here is a list of outdoor activities to do when the cleaning is done and the weather turns spring-like. Brought to you by Natural Beach Living.
Check out the Learn to Crochet series
8. PLACES TO TRAVEL
If you like to get away in the spring, here is a list of top designations that Solo Sophie thinks are beautiful in the spring.
7. PORCH DECORATIONS??
This lady went to a LOT of work to come up with 75 ideas on how to decorate a porch!! Count them ….. 75 !!
6. BOOKS
Once your porch is decorated, spring is the time to get out there and read! Each year, Simply Stacie gives us her top books to read.
5. SIPPING ON THE PORCH
Your book is in your hand and you’re heading out to that gorgeous porch but don’t forget that cool spring cocktail. Here are 25 ideas compiled by The Adventure Bite to make yourself a fresh and delicious spring cocktail.
4. FASHION
Don’t be fooled by the title of this blog – there are many fashion ideas here that look young and fresh. My pet peeve is most fashion blogs show me stuff I (or anyone else for that matter) will never wear. This blog contains fashionable every day items that you can buy in a regular store (no designer required).
3.RECIPES
As much as I want to stay away from blogging about recipes, I did want to keep this round-up well rounded so here are a few spring recipes from Cooking Light that will awaken your taste buds after winter’s heavy meals. In-season herbs, greens, vegetables, and fruits all shine in these impressive Spring recipes that hopefully keep you from getting too round!
2. WHY WE LOVE SPRING
When spring arrives, many camera buffs dust off the lenses and get outside to take fabulous photos. Here is a collection of why we love spring!
AND THE NUMBER ONE BEST SPRING ROUND-UP….
FREE CROCHET PATTERNS – OK……I’m a little biased – Because we all love those hookers!!
