I’m so glad you’re here. February was a bitch this year and you’re a sight for sore eyes.
I love you because you always bring me liberation. The extra daylight you give is a much needed dose of anti-depressant and the knowledge that full-on spring is near helps me breathe easier. Passover falls within your days and it always helps to officially close the door on winter and usher in the new season.
So far since you’ve been here I’ve:
started swimming classes with my two year old
visited with my brother (who lives on the other coast)
taken my boys on a tour of some of their mamma’s childhood landmarks
spent hours trying to remove Vaseline from my eleven year old’s hair. (Don’t waste your breath leaving me comments with your suggestions as to how this can be accomplished. I promise you if it’s a ‘trick’ for removing Vaseline from your hair, I already know about it.)
sorely neglected my dear blog
started designing three new website projects
attended the inaugural meeting of the NYC Metro Mod Quilter’s Guild
had lots of fun searching through overlooked photos to play along with ‘For the Love of Color’ week on Flickr
Before you leave I hope to:
photograph a dozen sunrises
put away my wool socks (until October)
watch my son in his first middle school play (guess what: It’s Grease. The Vaseline thing starting to make sense now?)
launch a new collaborative photo project with a friend
travel somewhere warm and tropical with my family
procrastinate about finishing a few lingering projects
paint my toenails pink.
Thanks for everything March.
Love,
Amy

I enjoyed YOu in the month of march.
thanks for today. it was really a nice day!
I hope your not knitting and driving~ he he~
Holy smokes, that list is long…though ridiculously luscious. My plan is always to take a shower. Everything else is icing. Is it weird that I got jealous of the two other sites your designing? Almost as if we’re dating and I just found out you’re still seeing other people.
I attended our first Modern quilt guild today. Just to let you know, I heard someone say “I think I saw it on acommonplacelife ” We live in CA. Cool huh. Springs coming quick. My wisteria is blooming.
You have been busy! So pleased you are working with us on Fat Quarterly xx
that is a long list, but it is so full of great things! I ready to embrace march too, today was the first day it was still ight outside after dinner
Is that frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity I spy? Oh, yum. What a nice post and gorgeous family.
There are tulips in your header.
That’s all I need.
I think I might be packing my wool away today. I know it’s a bit early but my spring fever is here full force and my arms are open. Your days have been absolutely lovely–and you really captured those days beautifully. I can’t wait to hear more about this collaborative project.
march is just plain good for the soul. it sounds like it is treating you well.
an excellent list. jealous about the tropics, and joining you on the pink toenails. and more. xo. (ps. love the new look around here!)
Sorry to hear about your petroleum woes! I would not even begin to know how to get it out of hair.
The new look is gorgeous. As I’m sure your toes will be once they are blushing and pink and sockless….
just look at your adorable men! and is that hot cocoa from serendipity? i’d love to go there some day before i die.
Adam is so adorable it’s stupid.
We need to get your son and my daughter together for a day in the city.
Wow – so excited about springtime now. Your list was just the wake-up I needed to be present in this season. I’m so happy that you’re enjoying it! Off to make more own list now
March, I’m glad, too. So glad. I love your list and I love the new look of your site.
Hi, I enjoy reading your blog! Just wanted to say that.
I’m so glad March is here too. It’s indeed a relief to have some more LIGHT in the day! Make you feel like living again!
It’s been a busy month so far! Book to the toe job first to give you some downtime already!
spooky!
last night I picked up a long standing ufo determined to finish it… and this morning I painted my toenails pink!!
I’m with you on the ready for spring! And why is it that February the shortest month is always the LONGEST?!
you make me smile. and tell your brother hes all grown up handsome!!
I like the tulips on your header. One of my favorite flowers. March seems to be off to a great start for you and your family. Hope you get to enjoy the things on your list before April rolls around. I’m still wearing my Smart Wool socks and I’m in Florida!
Hi there, not sure exactly how I stumbled onto your blog, but while I’m here just wanted to take a moment to say it is lovely!
Looks like we’re both in Brooklyn, N.Y. — enjoy this weather while it lasts!
Yes, welcome March. So glad you’ve finally made it!
Love the tulips–I haven’t seen many around here yet, only daffodils! I’m enjoying the extended daylight, too.
Is that gorgeous man your husband? Holy cow!
Thanks Anna. As Amy wrote, I’m her little bro… But it’s really just a trick of Amy’s fantastic photography and the ridiculous cuteness of my nephew that may have colored your perception
Amy, I love this post and these photographs are beautiful. That was a great day. Love the bro
I love that you included procrastinating on your to do list!
So, how was March?
Sorry, just testing something here …
