And just like that…goodbye March and Hello April.
How did you all spend your first day of April or better yet, Easter Sunday? As usual, we spent it with great company and good food. My sister-in-law who is an excellent cook never fails to delight our tummies and she always prepares new dishes every gathering. Yesterday she made this kale side dish that was really good. I will try to recreate it soon and share it here.
March is one of my most favorite months and that’s because it is my unico hijo or only son’s birth month.
A Happy Birthday
He turned fifteen and other than wishing him a happy birthday, hubby wrote about all the adventures that he’s had since he first met him and about his life in America. And giving him a fantastic fifteenth birthday feast that he asked for was our pleasure.
Good Eats
I love bean sprouts and this beef and bean sprout stir-fry is one of my favorites. So simple to prepare with very few ingredients yet so delicious. Have you tried it yet?
Smoothies are one my favorites to have for breakfast or even for brunch or snack so I scoured the internet for some delicious looking smoothies for St. Patrick’s Day.
We love sampling a different restaurant every time we eat out. We also love checking online for must-eat restaurants when we go on road trips or vacation. If you are like us, you should check this guide to Good Eats Around the Country Recommended by Locals.
Good Reads
As always, my bookworm hubby shared some good reads that you might like to read too. Check his posts, My Irish Eyes are Always Smiling and Remembering the Good Ol’ Days.
Travel
It’s been years since we visited the U.S. Capitol, but I can still vividly remember the amazing details of that piece of art of a building. Have you been to the U.S. Capitol? The inside was just as fascinating as the outside.
Tips
Meal planning has totally been a life saver for me so I shared my tips and how it worked for me because you may want to do it too if you haven’t started doing it yet.
As parents, we know school can be tiring for our kid, especially the homework. The tips on How to Make Sure that Homework Does Not Stress Our Kids is a must-read for parents.
It was a great month!
How was your March?
I cannot believe March is already over! I feel like this year hasn’t even started yet. There’s definitely things I need to get done this month and things I want to get done! Sounds like you all had a great March! I think meal planning is a great way to go. I always do it because it saves so much money.
I’ve really enjoyed your posts this month. As always, they’ve been a great combination of sharing your life and sharing fun things with us like recipes and that meal planning! I’ve been using that one a lot.
Happy Birthday to your son! Wow 15!! My daughter had a march birthday too.
I went to DC for a conference this summer and was able to visit the Capitol as well. Washington DC is such an amazing city!
I love to meal plan. I usually do it on Sundays and last sunday we had guetss over, I forgot and the entire week was messed up because we didn’t meal plan. I also really like to make sure I make meals around couponing and sales. It saves so much money.
Sounds like you have a wonderful family. I did some pet sitting on Easter weekend for some canine babies while their Mom and Dad were out of town.
Happy birthday to your son! 15 is a great age for boys! So much changing and coming into the world!
I am so proud that our cities capital looks so much like the nations’ capital. Pretty cool photo you took of it!
I cannot believe March is over. Crazy! Visiting the US Capital is on my travel bucket list.
Those St. Patty’s drinks and smoothies look mighty good! Seems like you had such a wonderful March – hoping the month of April is just as good to you.
My March was pretty awesome. I am looking forward to April though. I’ve got a cruise coming up and a couple of other trips on tap.
We had snow! My mom got 3” in the part of the state she lives in. We got one. It was so pretty but I love the snow! I did get some quality reading in.
I can’t believe it’s already April, 2018 is flying by! My kids only have a month and a half left of school! I need to get better at meal planning before the chaos really starts.
I seriously felt like I blinked and March was over. This year is flying by even faster than last year!
Loved reading your posts in March! Such a great combination of topics and information! Looking forward to April!
I cannot believe March is over and we’re already on April! This year is flying by way too fast
March was a great month for me. I can’t believe it’s already April, and I am so ready to spend more time with my kids this spring break.
