Hello April – Spring Photos and Ideas for Your Home

Happy weekend, hello April and welcome to the Saturday Spotlight!  Each week, I like to focus on a different theme or topic to inspire you. Now that April has arrived, I’m going to highlight some fresh ideas for the home and all things spring!  Don’t worry, I won’t pull any April Fools Day shenanigans on you!  Enjoy all the inspiration for this new month!

Hello April Pictures that Capture the Month:

April is Tulip Season:

What captures the essence of April better than tulips?  Each April, I try to visit an annual tulip festival in New Jersey.  You can read all about my visit here – Largest Tulips Festival on the East Coast.  If you have a tulip festival near you, definitely try to go.  It’s such a wonderful way to welcome the spring season!

Whenever I look at photos from that trip, I think about framing a few.  Wouldn’t they look pretty on a spring gallery wall?  Maybe I’ll even change my computer screen to an April background with one!

April is also a great month to travel with family:

Depending on where you travel, mid April is considered off-season in some areas.  Whenever our kids’ spring breaks would fall in April, we’d get great deals on Caribbean travel.  So, if you’re looking for a place to spend the April holidays, definitely look into some of the islands.

Seriously, can you think of a prettier view for the month of April?  In case you’re wondering, I took this photo on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.  If you want to read more about that April vacation, see – Beautiful Grand Cayman.
