Somehow it’s almost April already! Between the freezing cold, crazy wind, and a few perfect days mixed in, Wichita weather has been all over the place. We’ve been BUSY, started a garden, kicked off a big home renovation and our house is basically a construction zone, and somehow kept up with three toddlers, plus a random highlight meeting dachshund puppies at Sam’s.

In other news… Tulipfest is back at Botanica, there’s a packed weekend lineup, and I just dropped a new YouTube video on who’s actually moving to Wichita right now, and it might surprise you.

Let’s get into it!

If you’re looking for the ultimate sign that spring has officially arrived, this is it. Tulipfest at Botanica is back, transforming the gardens into a colorful, can’t-miss experience filled with thousands of blooming tulips and plenty of ways to enjoy them.
