Spring Favorites!

I think every season has something special about them. Summer time is great for cookouts, laying by the pool, tan lines, wearing flip flops, forgetting what day of the week it is, catching fireflies and so much more. I love Fall for all the foliage. It's a great time to sit by a fire and read or go to the Pumpkin Patch. Winter has Christmas! Baking cookies for Santa with the family, making a snowman, snow tubing (that's a new one!), and just being with people I love. Right now, it is SPRINGTIME! Everything is coming back to life and  I feel like that's the same thing that's going on in my own personal life. Spring is just an inspiring time for me. Here are some new Spring favorites of mine!


THE best stuff ever. Stove top chicken pot pie! Mom made it the other night and I highly recommend it!


With Springtime going on, how can I not be obsessed with flowers right now? I'm seriously thinking of planting some in a few painted flower pots this weekend! It'll probably be a good job for me and the little siblings to do :)


ROMPERS! With these shoes...

oh yes.


Last but not least...I always get a reading high every Spring. I like to stock up on books to have for the beach. I'm about to start this one. My mom says its one of her faves. I'll letcha know how it goes!


Now it's your turn. What makes you Spring happy?

My Name is MJ and I am the Worst Blogger Ever...

The title of this post says it all. I really feel like the worst blogger ever. Considering I haven't blogged since January, I just may be. Not to make any excuses, but these past two months have been SO busy for me! Let me just catch you up...

In February, I went to show choir competition in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham is one of my favorite places on earth and I got to be around people I love which made it all the better. Even though our group didn't do as well as we thought we would, we all had a great time. We drove down on Friday morning and went shopping at the Summit Center. Dorie, Maggie, Mary Taylor and I were on a mission to go to our favorite stores and were successful in doing so. I roomed with Maggie Thomas. Who knew she was the funniest person in the world? At midnight, I found Maggie running down the hotel's hallway in her bath towel...Just being Maggie. It was even funnier when our director walked out of his room and caught her. Love that girl. On Saturday morning, Soundwave was in the buses at 8:00 am ready to go to Homewood High School to compete. Our whole day was spent watching many show choir groups and by 11:00 that night when we left, I felt like if I smelled hairspray or heard another music note then I might just go crazy.
On Sunday, I hung out with my family. We shopped around and ate lunch in Birmingham. PS: PF Changs is an amazing restaurant and I highly recommend it. Amazing.

After showchoir is always bitter sweet. It's nice to have some free time to do whatever but then again I miss it.

March, two words: SPRING BREAK!! I love this break. It really starts sinking in that summer is just around the corner and I can start buying tank tops and cute dresses! However, I did nothing for Spring Break. Literally,  I chilled with my family the whole time and that was awesome. Baseball began for my brother so I've already found myself sitting at many games and the season has barely begun.

Again, I have no excuse not to blog but I am going to try to get more consistent. I hope everybody is having a happy Wednesday!
