Dear 1st Day of Spring, We love you

March 20th was the 1st Day of Spring and we took Kiera to Sand Beach for the 1st time. It was such a beautiful day, and the little tiny one was able to feet the ocean and sand on her feet for the 1st time. I am probably the only mom who would put her child's feet in the 30 degree water while she was also wearing a sweatsuit and hat, but I just couldn't help myself! Don't worry, her feet were barely submerged for 3 seconds and I dried them off immediately.

We also headed over to Seal Harbor beach to meet up with some friends and to let Ollie run wild with the other dogs. It was nice to get a little reminder of what we enjoy so much about Summer in Maine: beautiful scenery and time with great friends.

Professionally, things have been really busy at Side Street Cafe! We have been holding events and live music just about every weekend. Lexi and her classmates have made some amazing artwork that will be displayed and offered for sale at the cafe. 100% of the proceeds will go towards relief in Haiti. They are banners made from sail material and can be hung both inside and outside. I'm so proud and excited with what they have created! We are holding an art opening and sale on April 9th for the public. The pieces that don't sell that night will remain on display for the rest of the month. Here is a preview of a few:
