April's Love-It List

Loving: The Cherry Blossoms in full bloom in Central Park! Seeing those pastel pink petals fall on a 70 degree day is pure bliss.

Listening To: The podcast 'A Beautiful Mess', which is two sisters from the Midwest chatting about topics like "Our Spring Bucket Lists!" and "How To Raise Creative Kids." It's light, happy, and full of inspiration.

Making: I put together a spinach cashew pesto after Augusten and I took home WAY too much spinach from the green market--what a way to dress up pasta! I added a few squeezes of lemon for some extra zing!

Ordering: Personalized everything! My girlfriend is having a wine themed bridal shower, so a cheeseboard with her and her groom's initials seemed like the ideal gift! And Little M's birth mama we will hopefully be seeing for Mother's Day again, so a pretty pink tumbler with her name on it seemed like the perfect gift for her morning coffee.

Reading: My NYC-centric book at the moment is The Dakota Winters (a family saga taking place in the early 80's with guest appearances by John Lennon), and feel-good book is Think Like a Monk--which is chock full of one-liners and themes to inspire a well-lived life. The girls are still on a huge Llama Llama Red Pajama kick, and Augusten is really into any book having to do with the Subway system.

Watching: We are finally caught up with Billions, and EAGERLY awaiting the next episode to drop on Sunday!

Wearing: With the influx of sunshine here in the city, my Condesa Pink Sabahs are out in full force! And my beanie has been switched out for the seasonal SUN HAT! How I love the longer and brighter days:-)
