Spring-inspired crafts, treats, and decor to keep your creative minds and hands busy.
I’m definitely ready for spring. One day it was warm and sunny here in St. Louis, and the next we’re expecting snow—crazy weather! Still, the shift in seasons always brings energy and inspiration. Spring is a great time to refresh your home, try new recipes, and create simple crafts with the kids.
Last week I had a whirlwind trip to Orlando to appear on TV and share a nutritious breakfast idea: Southwest Baked Egg Cups. I talked about the importance of a wholesome start to the day and how easy breakfasts can help streamline busy mornings. I also have a few breakfast-focused events planned this week, including a themed party and some fun giveaways you won’t want to miss.
This week’s I’m Lovin’ It feature showcased a variety of spring ideas—from colorful crafts and playful kids’ projects to fresh recipes and home decor inspiration. I loved the range of projects and how each one brings a little spring cheer into the home. With new couches arriving soon, I’m excited to refresh my living space and try some of these ideas in my own home.
Below are 12 spring and Easter ideas that stood out. They span handmade favors, kid-friendly lunches, seasonal desserts, DIY decor, and easy craft projects to welcome warmer days.
