Preppy Spring Swap

I LOVE games and am so excited about my newest "game"! I am taking part in ConneticutCharm's Preppy Spring Swap and I just received my partner's name. The rules require that I send my partner 6 preppy, springy items in the colors pink and green. They can be: homemade, secondhand, candy, thrift store find, etc.
The fun part is that each item must represent 1 letter in the word SPRING.

Example (but not limited to):
S - stickers
P - pencils
R - really pretty picture
I - interesting Spring recipe
N - notecards
G - green ribbon

I am so excited to start sending stuff to my partner Imporverished Preppy (and am a tiny bit excited about receiving things too!)

What a great way to kick off spring, espcially because today was so rainy and dreary in Iowa and I am longing for the Georgia sunshine!

Wellies!

One good thing about the mess that we have here in Iowa City from the melting snow and ice is that it is an opportunity to buy new shoes. If you'd ask Niles, he'd say I can use just about anyting justify a retail experience. However, this most recent purchase was born from true necessity. Now, I am not talking peep tose with kitten heels--yet, but I am talking adorable rubber rain shoes--wellies! As a kid I loved sloshing around in mud puddles and now, with my feet fully protected in my prepply little wellingtons I can unabashadly tromp through the puddles once again.

Hint of Spring

We've finally had a break in the tundra-esk weather! This afternoon Bailey and I went jogging through the neighborhood. I was actually out in 34 degree weather enjoying the "warmth"! The snow is melting and the sidewalks and roads are turning into a muddy mess, thus Bailey was a muddy mess and required a bath when we got home (in my nice clean tub that I just bleached yesterday!) but it was worth it and I am craving spring!
So, I am wondering what y'all have on your playlists? I have a running mix that contains an eclectic mix that gets me through the run what gets you through yours?
