I wish I could say I’d taken this photo today. Alas, it was last spring. Nevertheless, while I cry to the skies, “Spring…where are you?” I’m still looking ahead…
Spring is the time of plans and projects. Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
So I’m wishing, thinking, dreaming about spring and my plans to write about…
Moving back to UK
If all goes smoothly, we’ll be moving back to England this summer. Ah, but there’s a catch-22 of looking for schools while still arranging a future home…
Kids and Hamptons
I’m currently working on a few new fun projects to add to my ongoing posts on outdoors fun with kids in the Hamptons off season. This area of Long Island is known for its glamorous summer season but there are amazing places to visit and things to do with children the rest of the year…
Photography
And wherever I go my camera comes with me…
I was inspired by the Leo Tolstoy quote in The Prompt this week. Despite the ongoing freezing weather, I’m pretending the season is changing, so ‘spring’ is my Word of the Week. Or perhaps I should say ‘spring hopes…’
Sharon (@TeenTweenToddle) says
Lovely photos, I love spring! Good luck with the move x #WotW
Kriss says
I’m just waiting to give Spring a huge hug when it finally arrives here!
Fiona @ Free Range Chick says
Good luck with the move back to the UK. I can’t imagine how challenging it must be to organise everything that a move that big requires. Also, really interested in your Google+ series. I’m fairly new to Google+ and am really interested in using it for it’s full capabilities.
Kriss says
Really glad my G+ series will help out. I’ll be updating soon.
Laura says
Yes I’m very glad that Spring is on it’s way at last, I know I say this every year but it’s been a long winter.
Good luck with the move x
Kriss says
Agreed! Can’t wait to wave goodbye to winter
Lou's Lake Views says
The guy on the weather network said the other day, ‘it won’t be winter forever”, I keep repeating that to myself like a mantra! hopefully spring will arrive soon. Good luck with all your plans
Kriss says
Thanks Lou. I saw my first crocus today and robins so I’m living in hope that it’s about to arrive.
Sara (@mumturnedmom) says
You’re managing to be slightly more positive than I am 🙂 I love the sound of all your projects, although I don’t envy you another transatlantic move! Thanks so much for linking with #ThePrompt x
Kriss says
Thanks Sara. Move is going to be stressful but I can’t wait to go back.
Oana79 says
Oh, it will come, sooner or later! Exciting news, both the move and the linky. Hope to be able to take part!xx
Kriss says
I’ll have more info on the linky soon. It will be just once a month especially with upcoming move.
Dean says
Beautiful photographs! I keep saying that, don’t I? I really do hope you win in the Mad Blog Awards especially for the photography category…. Looking forward to your goolge+ link=up, like I said, I keep meaning to do something with my google+ account, but never get around to doing it. A link-up will definitely give me the push I need! 🙂 Oh and nice to hear that you guys are moving back here! #PoCoLo.
Kriss says
Thank you so much Dean for your lovely comments – it really means a lot to me. I think the linky will be fun as well as help with G+
EmmaK says

You are very talented. I am arty farty too I mainly make a living painting portraits of furry friends….come say hi! #PoCoLo
Kriss says
It’s still freezing here too but I’m just going to pretend spring is just about ready to spring on us 🙂 Thank you for your lovely comments
@katgrant30 says
Ooh – I am completely perplexed by google + so looking forward to reading all your tips on that!
Good luck with all your projects, sounds like you will be having a busy spring!
#ThePrompt
Kriss says
Thanks and hoping to make things easier with G+.
The Reading Residence says
Spring hopes sounds perfect! Be lovely to haev you back on our shores soon then 🙂 I’ve pinned those 2 posts to have a good read of later, and will definitely be back for more – I’ve so much to learn with G+ so you can teach me! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
Kriss says
Thanks Jocelyn! I’m aiming to show how G+ is actually quite fun and also good for blogs
Christine says
I thought spring was in its way last weekend but we’ve had three days of thick fog to remind us that winter isn’t quite finished! Looking forward to the Google+ linky!
Sam says
Ooh I’m interested in your Google+ series as I don’t really use it and frankly it baffles me a bit right now. That will be really useful! I’m trying to take my new camera everywhere with me too – I have some way to go before I can just line up fab shots like yours though!! #ThePrompt
Caroline (BecomingaSAHM) says
Ooh I’m intrigued by your google plus advice and linky, will have to check it out, I am on google plus but have to admit I don’t really know how to make the most of it! I hope all goes well with the move, hopefully it will be worth all of the effort 🙂 xx #theprompt
Mummy Says says
So much to look forward to. All the best with your plans for the move- how exciting x
Alexandra Mercer says
Ooo moving back to the UK! Whereabouts will you be moving to?
Izzie Anderton says
Sounds as though you’re going to be busy, good luck with moving back to the UK.
Cheryl says
Hope your signs of Spring arrive soon. Often wonder what it is like to have seasons sneek in without a noticeable change. I do like our distinct seasons. Good luck with all your plans. #ThePrompt
Mummy to boyz says
