Random thoughts on a March Madness Saturday morning:
1. Happy first week of spring. It’s been glorious here in Texas.
How’s the weather where you are?
2. Are you watching March Madness? Baylor won yesterday, but now we have to face #1 Duke. Yikes.
Fingers crossed.
3. We went to watch my nephew play baseball yesterday. It was the same field Zach played on.
If I squinted, I could see him walking up to bat. I found this story from the last game he played that made me miss being a baseball mom so much.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We talked about
- this amazing yard sale find
- this spring mantel
- these amazon fashion finds
- these book page sculptures

I’m declaring next week Sourdough Starter Week. Thank you for the useful information.
GO BAYLOR!! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for a Baylor win! They have a good enough team to pull it off!
I do not watch any sports now that I am widowed. Here in Ohio it is windy, cold and cloudy. Typical March that makes you want to make a pot of soup, cornbread. Wrap up in some comfy sweats and watch TV all day. And this is coming from a girl that doesn't watch much TV. But you gave me lots of reads before tv. Happy Saturday.
We are definitely watching March Madness! I’m in 3 different brackets this year, which makes it so much more fun! On a different note, I loved your baseball post! That is the sweetest thing, and what a wonderful memento of dirt!!
80° one day next it's a blizzard. Welcome to March. My thoughts and prayers are with all those that experienced the tornados and have lost family. Never take anything for granted.
Always great ideas and inspirations from you. I always write down all your book suggestions. Have not been disappointed yet. Great Suggestions!!!
Karianne, nothing would make me happier than seeing Duke lose to Baylor. But then unfortunately Baylor would need to lose to Kentucky LOL. I loved the story of your yard sale finds, those are the moments we yard salers live for!
I wish everyone would read the etiquette rules! Thank you for sharing!! xxp
Thanks for a little after-work relaxation read! :)
Once again, the highlight of my Saturday ! Kim
GREAT thistles, KA! My fav is Lucy's incredible hand painted bunny egg. Isn't she amazing? Hope you have a wonderful week.
