I’m officially one week into my second term of nursing school and up to my eyeballs in chemistry terms. I’m reading a novel by a New Zealand author whenever I have a spare moment, with more author Q&As coming your way in the next few months. I’m very excited about the Wing Haven garden tour coming up at the end of April, and I can’t wait to share about it with you all, both here on The Avid Pen and on Instagram.
My eldest niece will be graduating from ‘4 school’ at the end of May, and just before that will be the year end performance for both of my nieces. They’ve been taking ‘ballet tap’ classes since January, so it will be so fun to see how much they’ve learned.

Need some new dresses to add to your wardrobe for the spring and summer seasons. This Tropical Collared Midi Flare Dress and more casual Striped Knit Midi Flare Dress from Ann Taylor are two of my favorites.
