🌷 Spring: Fresh Starts & Floral Walks

As soon as the snow melts and the air warms, I celebrate spring by decluttering the house and doing a deep clean. There’s something so therapeutic about washing windows, swapping linens, and letting fresh air in. My favorite tradition? A solo walk through the neighborhood to admire blooming magnolias and cherry blossoms, often with a matcha latte in hand. 🌸☕✨

☀️ Summer: Sunset Picnics & Slow Mornings

Summer is all about ease and sunshine. I make it a point to do at least one sunset picnic each month, complete with a simple charcuterie board, cozy blanket, and chilled rosé. Mornings are sacred too—I wake up early, drink iced coffee outside, and journal while the world is still quiet. These warm moments help me slow down and soak it all in. 🌅🧺📝

🍂 Fall: Pumpkin Picking & Cozy Sundays

As soon as the air turns crisp, I lean into all things cozy. My favorite fall tradition is visiting a local farm to pick pumpkins and apples—bonus if there's hot cider involved. Back at home, Sundays become sacred: slow breakfasts, soup simmering on the stove, and a fall-scented candle burning while I plan the week ahead. 🍁🕯️📖

❄️ Winter: December Movie Nights & Reflective Journaling

Winter is my season for inward reflection and soft routines. Each December, I rewatch nostalgic holiday movies (think The Holiday or Little Women) with fuzzy socks and hot cocoa. On New Year’s Eve or Day, I take time to journal—reflecting on the past year and setting soft, soulful intentions for the new one. It’s my way of entering January with peace, not pressure. ❄️🎬🧣
