Wow it seemed like yesterday but we have arrived at Earth Day again. I spent time in my garden in honor of earth day cleaning up, weeding, watching, accessing and planning for this upcoming season. I love this time of year.
“Spring is like the ‘New Years’ of Gardening. It’s a clean slate. It’s time to start a new and find different ways to create new life in your garden. ”
– Belinda H. Fernandes
I enjoy all of the possibilities that spring brings. I try to find ways to create my own oasis that doesn’t require too much maintenance. Last year I made an agreement with myself to not obsess over the garden and find a nice balance for relaxing with my family and gardening. I aim for the same today.
So I may not be out planting a tree for earth day, but I feel like what I play my part by growing my own vegetables and growing flowers to support the bee population.
Happy Earth Day!

This is a yummy clean dish I made this week, it is Eggplant Curry and it’s delish!
I love Whole Foods because it is always an adventure. I feel like I am on holiday at some exotic location because some of the fruits and vegetables I see are so foreign. This one I had to take a picture of – Jackfruit. It’s massive.
Leao and I took a selfie in our rental car on our way to the hotel. Met the bride to be at the hotel and look at the cute little goodie bag that was on our bed at the hotel!
We took a little tour of Long Branch. The ocean was spectacular and some of the trees were already in bloom.
We got ready for an evening wedding and the shuttle picked up all of the guests right in front of our hotel. It was a luxury shuttle with fancy seating and mini bars.
The wedding. Wow what can I say, it was beautiful. It was in a seaside restaurant so the ocean was in background all of the time. There were Cherry blossoms everywhere. So pretty.
Met some new friends at the wedding and caught up with college friends at brunch the next day!
Both boys had a great time and I definitely see this happening again.
