No.899: March Little Things Bingo

Another month, another bingo board!  Years ago, I used to create yearly 100 Little Things lists and these bingo boards feel like a newer version of that.  I like how there’s a healthy mix of things I should do (like cleaning/organizing/taking care of myself) and things I’d like to do.  Super fun!

Like always, this month’s board has 24 free or inexpensive tasks that will hopefully bring joy, peace and/or a boost of creativity.  We’ll see how many I can check off the list.  If you need a little something extra to get you through March, feel free to play along too!

The tasks are:

• Shop local. // Supporting our local community is very important to me so this should be easy.  I’m thinking a small business in town or maybe a restaurant.
• Drink a green smoothie. // There are tons of options to choose from: maybe a pineapple spinach version or this iron boosting one or this high protein one?
• Take a walk. // I think this prompt will be on every month’s board.  I need to breathe the fresh air and feel the sun on my face.
• Listen to Irish folk music. // I found this instrumental collection – ten hours!
• Have a movie night. // I promised my son that we’d watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy together.
• Read a book with a green cover. // A quick look at my bookshelf and Green Dolphin Street by Elizabeth Goudge seemed perfect for the prompt.
• Fix something broken. // We have two counter stools with loose seats that desperately need to be fixed.
• Go through spring clothing. // I’ve gained a little weight this winter (ahem…) so I need to try things on and see what fits.
• Donate to a food pantry. // So many people are suffering right now.  Any little bit helps.
• Send snail mail. // I’m hoping this is the first step to making this a regular part of my weekly routine.
• Declutter old/unused makeup. // Makeup has an expiration!  This post seems helpful.
• Get coffee with a friend. // Bonus points if it’s a local coffee shop.
• Cook an Irish dinner. // I’m thinking shepherd’s pie or corned beef and cabbage or Irish soda bread.
• Photograph early spring flowers. // Daffodils and crocuses and tulips, oh my!
• Find a four-leaf clover. // This would be fun to try with the kids.
• Get a spring pedicure. // Or try one at home!  This post has some helpful tips.
• Do a crossword puzzle. // There are lots of puzzle books for sale but you can also play the New York Time’s mini version online.
• Visit a garden center. // Seeing all of the plants gets me super excited for spring planting.
• Start spring cleaning. // This post has a helpful printable checklist or you can play along with my spring cleaning bingo board too.
• Try a new meatless meal. // This post has 35 ideas!
• Plant peas. // I’m growing “Perfection Dark Seeded” this year.
• Memorize a poem. // Memorization is a dying art and I’d like to strengthen that muscle.
• Fly a kite. // There are cheap options at the store, but I especially love this DIY project for kids.
• Bake a pie for pi day. // Maybe blueberry?
