Recent Happenings – End of Winter Edition

Since I haven’t done a “Recent Happenings” post in a while, I thought I ‘d get back on track with that today with an (almost) end of winter edition.  Please note, that if you search for an “end of fall edition” you won’t find one.   Um, I haven’t exactly been consistent with these…oops.  For now, let’s take a look at some end of winter ideas!

Almost End of Winter – Snow:

For now, let’s start with the winter weather, shall we?  Did you get slammed by the recent snowstorm?  In New Jersey, it has snowed so much over the past several weeks that I’ve lost track of how much we’ve received!  First, 24 inches, then another 7 or 8 and then maybe 5 or 6…it’s been crazy. 

Luckily, we’re used to the snow in the northeast.  My heart goes out to Texas and everyone in the south who wasn’t prepared for the storm.  Sending prayers to those who lost power and are still having water issues.

End of Winter Decorating:

If all the snow still has you in the winter mood, here is a cozy winter table setting I decorated recently.  Since, most of us aren’t dining out these days, it’s nice to make our homes as inviting as possible.

Even though many of you will be experiencing some spring weather soon, here in the northeast, we have a ways to go.  Usually, this is the time of year where I start longing for spring.  Yes, I’ve even done a little in-person spring shopping recently.  Of course, I’ll now worry for the next several weeks about any exposure I may have had at the store.  Maybe, I should just stick to online shopping!  Speaking on online shopping, I just ordered an adorable spring basket which should be arriving any day now!

Even though we’re not doing any major traveling, we did get away for a couple ski weekends in Vermont this winter.  Thankfully, Vermont has very strict safety measures in place.  Actually, I feel safer traveling there than I do staying in New Jersey!

Whether it’s winter – or any season, I always love finding inspiration around the internet.

When is the end of winter date, you ask? 

Well, the official last day of winter this year is March 20, 2021…just around the corner!

Oh, and one last mention (not winter related) – If you’ve been irritated by those little white dots that have been showing up on your Pinterest pins, you need to read these two eye opening posts written by Kyla from House of Hipsters:
