Simple Spring Tablescape

Happy Spring Break! My kids go to two different schools in two different school districts which means they have two different spring breaks. Millie was on break last week, Peighton is on break this week and we are definitely very discombobulated. It’s been fun having special one on one time with each kid and I’m doing my very best to make it fun for each of them. Last week when Millie was home we went to Trader Joe’s which happens to be one of her favorite places for one reason. Mini shopping carts. We slowly perused the aisles, me very carefully trying to maneuver her cart without her knowing so she wouldn’t run into the other shoppers. This has to be a stealth operation because Heaven help a mom who is trying to push her child’s mini cart – they must always feel in control and to be honest, I can relate. While we were in TJ’s we spotted some truly beautiful tulips that inspired an entire spring tablescape, one that I’m happy to share with you today!

Simple Spring Tablescape Ideas

I realized it’s been a long time since I shared this space and we’ve made some changes in the last few months, including our new light fixture that I’m loving.

Spring decorating ideas - spring tablescape

To create this simple spring tablescape, I made an easy flower arrangement with the tulips from Trader Joe’s and some additional greenery. I grabbed three bunches of tulips and two bunches of greenery which included some eucalyptus that I used for the place settings. I placed this arrangement in this crock/vase that I picked up last week, it’s very affordable.

Since this is a simple tablescape I did a simple place setting as well. Just a white dish. I’ve had these from Walmart for ages. Some neutral napkins, a stem of eucalyptus, and a pretty pink latte bowl.

We’ve actually been using these as our everyday cereal bowls for a while now. I love that they have the ability to dress up a table or be used for every day. That’s the kind of function I like.

Beautiful spring breakfast nook

It was really fun to decorate this simple spring tablescape in our breakfast nook. Since we found out we were moving it’s been challenging to have the desire to decorate when all we really want to do is purge and prep our home for the next step. I will say, nothing makes a space feel more “homey” and happy as a vase of fresh flowers.

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
