Monthly Musings April 2026: Spring Flowers, Fashion and Food

 

Here we are at the end of April Besties. We have had some really glorious weather over the last few weeks, but it does not want to seem to stick around. While I can't control the weather, I do host Monthly Musings and for April, this link party is focusing on spring flowers, fashion and food. Let's talk spring.

1. Favorite spring flower?

Honestly, I love them all and get really excited when something new pops up in the garden. Truly, my favorite flowers are peonies and hydrangea. Those were mainly our wedding flowers and they make me the most happy.

Hello Monday April 27, 2026: Monthly Musings April 2026 Topics

 

Happy Monday Besties! I hope you had the Best weekend. It was a little chilly in our area. I didn't seem to mind it because I was able to get a few things accomplished inside due to the weather. 

As we head into the last week of April I am linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday. Today I am sharing the topics for the April Monthly Musings. For April we are sharing spring flowers, fashion and food. I hope you will join me back here on Thursday for Monthly Musings as a writer, reader or both. 

Monthly Musings March: Spring Holidays and Fun

 

Typically March feels long after February, but I cannot believe we are at the end of March already. The Best part of the end of the month is that I get to host my link-up party, Monthly Musings. For March, we are focusing on spring holidays and fun. I love spring and I am looking forward to our March questions.

1. Does it feel like spring yet where you are?

Honestly, it depends on the day and the hour. This weekend was a beautiful spring preview and then on Monday it turned super chilly again. I know spring is coming though.

Monthly Musings February 2026: Ways We Make Our Weeks Easier

 

Besties, I am really looking forward to the topics for February Monthly Musings. The topic for February is How We Make Our Weeks Easier. No matter what stage of life you are in, I think we all can contribute and learn from this topic. While I am the host for this link-up party, I will definetly be taking notes on the tips that the other writers share.

1. Paper planner, digital calendar or other option?

My answer is all of the above, but they are synched. Running Daddy and I use the Cozi app for our shared family calendar. I use Outlook for work. I have a paper planner that I use to schedule my day from morning to night and also keep my to-do list. The paper planner just helps me schedule my time well and is just really for me. 

It might sound a little crazy but it all works for me.

Wednesday Hodgepodge: Wednesday, February 25, 2026

 

The month of February is flying by. We had a little bit of snow and cold the first part of the week, but nothing like what our friends to the north received. Hope everyone is ok and staying warm in the northeast. Jumping into again today to join Joyce for Wednesday Hodgepodge. 

1. America celebrates turning 250 years old this year. Primary cities set to lead the celebrations on July 4th are Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington D.C. Other significant locations for celebrating will be Charleston SC and the 'historic triangle' which includes Jamestown-Willimasburg-Yorktown Virginia. 

Of the cities listed how many have you seen in person? Of the cities listed which would you most like to visit this year? Any plans to do so? What's one place in America you think everyone should see? If you're not American what's one place in the US you'd like to see? 

I am from Boston and currently live and work in the Washington, DC area. I have been to every city listed above also.
