Well, May is about to become one of my favorite months! After 5 years of trying, we will welcome our baby girl into the world this month! It doesn’t get much better than that!
My favorite thing about the month of May is how the world goes from black and white to living COLOR! The grass turns green again, the flowers bloom, etc! LOVE it.
May is fresh and hopeful…and i love not needing to wear socks anymore! 🙂
May means we can start looking forward to planting flowers again after a long winter……May also brings the lilacs to full bloom….can’t wait after this long cold winter…we still have some snow in our yard 🙁

My favorite thing about May is just being able to open the windows or get outside! We usually have several days of perfect weather this month!
Since our last frost date in Minnesota is May 15, the best part of the month is getting to dig in the dirt and plant beauty!
Living in Vermont it’s got to be all of the beautiful flowering trees and shrubs, most especially lilacs! There’s just nothing like vases of fresh-clipped, sweet-smelling lilacs all around the house!
I love that it will not be cold again until late fall. (Living in the South obviously!)
My favorite thing about may us Mother’s Day! After years of trying to build our family, I am blessed to be a mother through adoption. I am so lucky to be able to parent our little love!

May is the one month we usually do not have the bugs of summer! We can usually enjoy eating supper outdoors on the deck without “guests”. It’s also the best month for nice, comfortable temps. The trees and bushes fill out and the flowers start to bloom. Beautiful!
My birthday month!!! I finish homeschooling this month too so it means more family time;)
May is a month for celebration in my family. We have 13 birthdays and mothers day. So it’s basically a month long party 🙂
May symbolizes the beginning of summer, end of school, longer days, mother’s day, lots of baseball…. its just a great month to be in! 🙂
