I love all seasons—well, maybe not winter (too dark and too cold!)—but there’s something special about spring. I love the vibe it brings. Everything starts to bloom again, and it feels like a fresh start. I always feel more energetic, more inspired, and ready to do things, go outside, and just have fun. Maybe you feel the same way, but you’re not quite sure what to do. That’s where this list comes in—here are some fun things to do in spring to spark your inspiration!
Fun Things To Do In Spring
- Read your favorite book: When the sun is out, head outside with a cozy blanket and find a peaceful spot to read.
- Marie Kondo your home: Time to declutter! If something doesn’t bring you joy, thank it and let it go. A clean space = a fresh mind.
- Watch a romcom: Rainy day? Stay in, make a warm drink, and enjoy a cute romantic comedy. Love is in the air, after all.
- Visit a park, botanical garden, or tulip fields: Nature is blooming, and it’s the perfect photo-op. Don’t forget your phone or camera!
- Make your own ice cream: Use fresh fruit and get creative with flavors—homemade always tastes better.
- Get creative: Scrapbooking, calligraphy, painting, vision boarding—whatever sparks joy.
- Start running again: No need to run a marathon. A light 5K is an amazing goal to work toward.
