Turn It Up Tuesday #131

Happy Spring! The boys and I planted new annuals around our mailbox yesterday. The bright colors at the end of the driveway are so pretty. I'm sure they would cheer me up on my way to work in the morning, if it wasn't dark out when I left today. That's right, I'm back to early mornings on rotation. Surgery typically starts at 7:30, so I have to be there at least an hour before then. But, I did get to observe brain surgery today, so it's worth it. 

What new and exciting things are you working on this week? Link up and share your great ideas for recipes, DIY projects, and parenting and lifestyle essays. I love seeing all of the fresh ideas you have!

Happy Easter

Turn It Up Tuesdays is all about being happy, excited, energetic...and having fun! Link up all of your favorite posts (old or new) and meet some awesome bloggers in return! Link up your funny stories, DIY posts, recipes, mommy moments -- anything at all. We want to laugh, be entertained, be inspired, and have a good time! Thanks so much to everyone that joins us each week and makes this link party the best that it could be!
