Happy spring, Lakeland – Kaylee here. 👋 The weather in Central Florida still can’t make up its mind, flowers at Hollis Gardens have officially started to bloom, and everyone is fighting the passionate urge to clean everything in sight. *Cough* – Jessica please stop rearranging the office. – *Cough*

Looking to the week ahead, I am excited to create a flower crown with my niece at the Hammock Hollow Fairy Fest at Bow Tower Gardens + do a little shopping (while supporting small business owners) at Brew Hub’s Night Market.

So, if you can manage to pull yourself away from the dust pans + gloves for a second, we’ve rounded up five #MustDos this week that may help put a little extra spring in your step. 🌷
