Hooray For Spring!
Lacey Baier

Hello, Cleanish Squad!
Growing up in Southern California, I never got a true sense of what spring really was…
For us, spring just meant easter egg hunts, spring break trips, and all the pastel marketing that comes along with it.
But, when I moved to Texas 10+ years ago, I finally got to experience true seasonal change. After watching the trees change color and lose their leaves, the grass go into hibernation, and the weather drop for months, a magical moment happens when it all finally starts to change.
Suddenly, everything is green, and hundreds of beautiful wildflowers start popping up all along trails and roads. It’s such a pleasant part about living here.
We especially love admiring the beautiful violet-colored Texas bluebonnets that welcome you along country roads and hiking trails, scattered amongst perfectly contrasted bright orange and yellow wildflowers.
In the spirit of spring, I wanted to share 10 of my favorite springtime recipes with you (below in this email). The bright colors and fresh flavors highlight all the produce this season offers. BONUS: spring foods are also full of antioxidants, minerals, flavonoids, and key nutrients your body will love.
I know spring technically doesn’t start until next week, but Mother Nature was ahead of schedule in Austin, and so am I. 🙂

Some of my favorite things this week 🙂
Quote of the Week → “The earth laughs in flowers.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson (Figured this was a fitting one for today 🙂 )
Amazon Product of The Week → I recently took a short trip to New York (I wrote about it here) and I finally bit the bullet and purchased this Electronics Organizer to help keep me organized. I am so glad I did. This organizer was very helpful and made it much easier to locate all my cords and chargers, rather than aimlessly digging through my computer bag — plus it was under $10!
