I do not know how it can be March 31st, but I am excited about it!
You see, this morning at 10 am, two of my besties and I will be stepping on a cruise ship to celebrate our 60th birthdays together!
Our hubbies will be staying on land this time, and I’ll share all about it in next month’s newsletter, but let’s get started with this month’s rewind!
In this rewind, we’re sharing a recap of what we worked on, our favorite blog posts from around the web, adorable Easter finds we spotted, and some simple home organization tips to keep you on track.
March flew by in a whirlwind of projects, decluttering, and cleaning!
Let’s take a look back!
WHAT WE DID BEHIND THE SCENES IN March
March was a month of hard work!
We worked during regular hours, which extended into evening hours, and took up all our weekends!
I don’t know about you, but we have a spring to-do list that’s a mile long!
Plus, Rich started a significant home improvement project in the living room, which is taking way longer than we thought, but it will be so worth it in the end!
Here’s a sneak peek!
I spruced up the yard and recovered the outdoor cushions (couch, chair, ottoman, swing, and five throw pillows) with a fresh new look.
This project was a year overdue because I’m not a very good seamstress and kept procrastinating, but I’m happy to report that I finally finished it!
We also decided to participate in our neighborhood yard sale for the first time at the last minute (I forgot to take a picture)! It was fun and very successful, and it makes me wish I’d done it way before now!
And on top of all that, we started spring cleaning and preparing for out-of-town guests.
With all that going on, we only made it to a Disney park once the entire month, and it was only for a few hours one evening!
Our favorite festival (Flower and Garden) started at EPCOT on March 5 and will go through June 2, 2025! We can’t wait to spend more time there and share the pretty topiaries, yummy food, and fabulous concert events!
Now you know why I’m so excited to be on vacation!
WHAT WE DID ON THE BLOG IN March
With our busy schedule, we only posted about half the content we usually share.
DIY
- First, I transformed a pretty tulip wreath into a whimsical carrot-shaped wreath perfect for spring!

Organization

- Ready or not, it’s that time of year, and we want to help by sharing our best Spring Cleaning Tips!
Decor
- Our house was torn up most of the month, so we could not decorate for spring.
- I did pull out a few spring florals and a couple of bunnies, but unfortunately, I have not had time to write a post about it!

- Week 14 – Porch, Patio, Deck
- Week 15 – Yard
- Week 16 – Garage
- Week 17 – Attic
- Week 18 – Basement, Storage shed

April is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to see what it brings!
As always, we’d love to hear from you—what projects are you working on?
Until next time, happy organizing, DIYing, and decorating!

Blessings, Donna and Rich

So excited about all the things you guys accomplished this month, Donna. I know a lot of hard work went into it everything and it’s going to be so worth it when you ‘re done. Safe travels and I can’t wait to hear all about your birthday trip! Hugs, CoCo
