In this time of practicing social isolation because of concern for others, it can be difficult to navigate the celebrating of holidays, not to mention birthdays (mine is coming up…hello), Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduations. Right now, more than ever, I believe that celebrations should continue…just in a different way!

The bright side of this…research shows, is  that people who celebrate small things and practice gratitude have “more energy, less anxiety and better physical health”. Celebrating is an important part of our lives and there is no need to stop celebrating just because we can’t go out. The spring season has many reasons to celebrate, including Easter, Passover, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.and it’s important to keep the rituals of celebrating now more than ever. Here are a few recipes to go make for any celebration, no matter how small!

Relaxing at home with all the Easter candy and my favorite magazines! If you haven’t seen Flower Magazine, you’ll absolutely love it! I received it as a Christmas gift and it’s full of year round inspiration.

Below, I’m including a somewhat random boutique of some favorite spring items! Enjoy…
