Monthly Musings: Spring Hosting, Decorating and Gardening

 

Hi Friends and welcome to Monthly Musings with Patty and me!  We are so glad you are here!  Once a month, we chat about some of our favorite topics.  This month, we are talking all things Spring...from hosting and decorating to gardening!  

 BUT FIRST

 

Happy 11th Birthday to Eva a.k.a PIDGE!!  My girl is growing so fast!

 

She is our old soul, our smart girl, our future President, our athlete, our loyal friend and best daughter and sister around!  We love you Pidge XOXO so excited to celebrate you!

 

 

 

Back to Monthly Musings...Hope you will join us...we are answering the questions below...

So here we go....

 

1. Do you celebrate Easter, Passover or another holiday in spring?

 

 

We celebrate Easter and the entire Holy Week in the Catholic Church!

 

 

2. Do you plant a garden?  Any tips for those without a green thumb?

 

Can you tell this was one of my questions?  I love to plant flowers...I also enjoyed planting veggies years ago but over the last few years, I haven't had much success....any Green Thumbs out there?  Need advice please!  Thank you :)

 

3. How do you decorate for spring?

 

We decorate for Easter inside...bunnies...eggs...little Easter touches...for spring, I start making more flower arrangements and then we plant flowers outside to brighten up the yard

4. Desserts that just say Spring to you?

 

 

Hmmm...it would be so easy to  name some desserts for the three other seasons here...like ice cream in summer...caramel apples in fall and Chrismasy chocolate peppermint choices in the winter but all I can think of in spring is fruit...more fruit...even mixed in with our salads

 

5. Favorite Spring Flowers?

 

 

 

Tulips and Lilys :)

 

 

6. Best tips for hosting spring events?

 

 

 

Like events during different parts of the year, lists lists lists!  Also if you are planning on hosting an event outside, always have a Plan B.  I feel like we are pros at that in New England.  We can never depend on the weather so having a porch or a room designated as a party room is the safest here!

7. Favorite Beverage or Cocktail that makes you think of spring?

 

White Wine- A White Sangria or even a fruity cocktail

 

 

8. Vegetable garden?  Flower Garden?  Both?  Neither?

 

I would say BOTH...I so want to rock both...depending on you all for tips! 

 

9. Favorite Easter/Passover Candy?

 

Cadbury Mini Eggs...they have surpassed many others over the years :)

 

10. Marshmallow Peeps? Gross or yes please?

They are ok...I prefer to decorate with them ;)
