Spring Break Break

Icart's "Spring" image from here.

I've had the Reading Nest for a few years now, but have only been posting more often since the start of this year.  "More often," for me means about 3 times a week.  But I'm still finding my way and working out routines.  If I was a kick-ass blogger, I'd have a bunch of posts all set to go and scheduled to magically appear, while my kids are on their 2-week spring break as we speak.   

But alas, I'm not so kick-ass when it comes to planning and creating posts ahead of time.  So it's time to step away from my desk, make us all turn off our respective electronic devices, and have some fun with my kiddos during their last week of vacation.  Oh, and plan my menu and find "something cute" to make for dessert, since I'm hosting Easter here for my extended family next Sunday. 

The above image is by French illustrator and artist, Louis Icart.  My design tastes have evolved through the years, but my love for Icart's pretty, feminine prints has stayed true, ever since I first saw and coveted a large, framed print in an antique store when I was a teenager.

Happy April!  Enjoy the sunshine and fresh breezes of spring. I'll be back in a week.
