And just like that, it’s May. Here in southern Ontario, April mostly felt like another month of winter, with spring weather making a few fleeting guest appearances to tease us and leave us longing for more. As we hope for better weather in May, let’s heat things up with my April roundup of awesome blog posts.
This monthly roundup is my way of saying thank you to the blogging community, and featuring some of my favourite bloggers who regularly put out funny, inspiring and informative content.
So grab your favourite hot beverage and take a few minutes to read these posts. I’m sure you’ll love them. And don’t forget to explore some of the other content from these bloggers and give them a follow.
Coming up on Boomer Eco Crusader in May
May is a big month in our household as we celebrate my husband’s birthday, my daughter’s birthday and, of course, Mother’s Day. To celebrate moms everywhere, I’ll continue my Simple Living Sunday series with a look at themes that remind me of my mum: service, wisdom, enough, active, and faith. I’ve also got some ideas on what mom really wants for Mother’s Day, tips for a more sustainable wardrobe, and stress-busting alternatives to meditation.
Let’s keep in touch! Join my mailing list and I’ll email you when I add a new post.
