The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

March 3, 2016

{learn goals} Living Seasonally in March & a Free Printable!



This is a packed post.  Each month in 2016, I hope to share a bunch of ideas for living the fullness of that month.   The possibilities are endless, but I plan to include church feast days, small celebrations, books, crafts ideas and delicious foods to eat.  In no way do I think I will be able to pull off ALL of this, nor should you!  My hope is to provide a handy resource to check in on and get ideas.  I’ve also included a handy printable at the end. Here we go!  








Ahh, finally finishing this post a few days late!  I still can’t believe that it’s March already! I’m getting so excited for warmer weather, getting outside and planting a garden.  I plan to begin cleaning and decluttering my house (again!) and getting my bum in gear with healthy eating and exercise.  Spring is on the horizon, friends.

Below are a bunch of ideas for celebrating the fullness of this month.  Again, let me say that in no way do I think anyone (me included!) should think they can pull off ALL of this.  My hope is that you could pick and choose what you’d like to do with your own family.  I’ve done the leg work for you.  You just need to add the most important ideas to your calendar and get ready for memory making!
