I love my tradition of looking back at my top five moments of the season! Gratitude is the key to life, in my opinion :) Here are my top five spring moments 2025.

1. Wooster Square, New Haven, CT. April 2025.

Seeing the cherry blossoms in New Haven has been on my bucket list and I finally made it! I had two of my children with me and we strolled around the square and several side streets. We had a snack and coffee (for me) at Kaiyden’s and loved it.

2. Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. April 2025.

I went to Canada for the first time! Yay! The view below was from the Skylon Tower restaurant. It was certainly a trip I won’t ever forget. A blog post on that day coming!

3. Conservatory Garden, Central Park, NYC, New York. April 2025

At the end of April I strolled around this garden in Central Park. I’d never heard of it before this spring and I’m so happy I know about it now! The timing was perfect because the tulips were all in bloom. The lilac smells are always my favorite and it felt as though I could smell them the entire time I walked around.

4. Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL. June 2025

Another life bucket list check off, watching the Cubbies at Wrigley Field. We even got to sit behind home plate! The ticket prices are way cheaper than our usual Yankee Stadium. lol It was chilly out, had to buy a sweatshirt.

5. Sticks and Stones, Newtown, CT. June 2025

My little local favorite place to go be in nature and just be. I started a tradition a few years ago; I go barefoot in the stream that runs through the property. It’s incredibly soothing, grounding and refreshes my spirit.

What was your favorite moment from this spring?
