The Celebrations of Spring!

Spring is in the air. It's a ways off, but close enough that I can begin to plan for the little celebrations it will bring. I love this time of year. The thought keeps me going through the last of the cold winter days. There is still a crispness in the early morning air and a promise of rain showers that will serve to nurture the tiny new shoots of spring flowers that are beginning to peek from beneath the earth.

 And, there's nothing sweeter than new born baby animals reminding us that there is promise and rebirth and a newness in this world. I love the sounds of birds chirping and working tirelessly on their nest. I'll be working on our spring nest, too and bringing you some fresh ideas for your home and garden.

It's a time to freshen up your grocery list with smart buys,  add new light desserts and easy dinner menus, colorful flower arrangements and table settings.

Marti Gras shows first in March with the colorful celebrations of New Orleans. One of my all time favorite haunts. I want to show you some of the classics dishes of Fat Tuesday and some of the fabulous sights of the Big Easy, my surrogate home away from home.

 My twin daughters birthdays are at the beginning of March. Our most important celebration of the month. I can't wait to show you what I have in mind for the special day. I think they'll love it, too. Ash Wednesday will also fall on my daughters Birthday. I've been looking forward to sharing some of the foods and traditions this holiday.

And last but not least comes St. Patty's day. Just wait until you see what I have in store. The perfect Irish stew and much, much more. And this is just the beginning of spring.  So stay tuned for all the new Kit loves Caz post to come, full of recipes, eye candy and ideas to make your everyday, extraordinary.

Remember to love deeply and enjoy the little things in life. XX Kit~
