Tuesday Turn About #298 Spring Sensations
Tuesday Turn About #298 Spring Sensations: This week, we have LOTS of Easter and spring ideas! Plus, we have a bonus feature that I just couldn’t pass up!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #298 SPRING SENSATIONS
Last week’s party included delicious recipes for spring and fun ideas for the kids!
Welcome to the second party of April!
Not sure what happened last week… maybe it was the April Fool’s joke I played! I hope I didn’t end up pranking myself, but it was a small party!
We’ll see what happens this week! Praying that my silliness didn’t backfire!
This week, though the party was small, there were SO many lovely spring and Easter link-ups! I couldn’t narrow it down to just 12, so we have a bonus feature this week, too! Thirteen features in all!
We have lovely spring tablescapes, a yummy recipe for a spring tea, DIYs for Easter, and some lovely crafts for your spring decor!
Are you ready?
Abode Adventures
Well, today is the day! As you are reading this, I’m probably sitting in the dentist’s chair getting two crowns and a bonding done, or I’m at home recovering from being in the chair for over 2 hours! I’m thankful to the Lord that my insurance is covering so much of the procedure cost, AND that I have the money to pay for the rest!
This past weekend, we had a family get-together… just for fun! My brother organized it, and we had 36 people (13 children) all crammed-in to his mobile home. It was noisy, to say the least, but I don’t think anyone minded the ‘crowding’. All of my 8 grandchildren were present, and I missed snapping a photo of them together. We will all be together, again, for Easter, and I’ll be sure to get photos then!
Oh, and these get-togethers are already on the calendar to happen every other month! Sometimes at my brothers’ homes and sometimes at my sister’s. Needless to say, we won’t try to have it at my trailer!

My Wee Finds
Well, I did my research, and I purchased some affordable and brand-trusted barefoot shoes. These Whitin Barefoot shoes are made for extra wide feet (raising my hand here), and they are not ugly. LOL! My kids said they are actually cute.
From my research, I sized-up with these shoes. I normally wear a 7 wide/extra wide. These, I needed in 8W.
They seem to be helping. My feet are not aching at the end of a shift, and my big toe does not feel as swollen and numb. I think the feeling is coming back.
More Purchases I Made for Wide Feet and Bunions…
I realized that my support socks were also cramping my toes, so I purchased these no-show HUE cotton socks/liners. They have LOTS of room in the toe area plus they are thin and breathable.
Next on the Amazon list are these Caretras bunion correctors. Read the directions before using these… and you might even want to look-up a Youtube video on how to put them on. 😉 Right now, I’m wearing these about 30 minutes each night before bed.
Weekly Household Tip
This spice storage solution is still one of my faves. The low profile of the jars is perfect for placing on the refrigerator, and the wide mouths make it easy to insert a teaspoon for measuring! Plus, the geometric shape is pretty!
Weekly Blogging Tip
Y’all… I got hit by Google again. What about you? Let’s all pray together and ask the Lord to increase our traffic, shall we?
Though not a requirement at all, I would be SO blessed if you would subscribe and/or follow me either here on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Thanks!

Thank you for hosting. It sounds like you all had fun during the get-together. Wow, 36 people—that’s wonderful! Have a great week, and thank you for hosting.
Thanks for joining us, Steph! Always love seeing your DIYs and decor items!
Thank you so much for featuring my Serene Shores Quilt. I so appreciate it. I’m #5 this week. I’m so happy your dentist appointment is over and so much was covered by insurance.
Thanks, Amy. When I got to the dental office, they told me the bill was over $300 less. That was a blessing!
Your new shoes are cute! Thanks for all the foot suggestions!
You are so welcome! They are helping my feet, for sure!
By the time you read this your dentist appt. will be just a memory. Hope all went well and you will have no more problems. Thanks so much for the feature for the spring tablescape. I love mixing and matching china and crystal so this was a lot of fun to put together. Have a wonderful week.
Lynne, Thrifting Wonderland
Thanks, Lynne. It took several days for my gums to heal, but I’m doing well now. Permanent crowns go on next week!
Thanks, Julie! Praying for a fast recovery from you dental ordeal!!
Thank you, Pam! I’m doing well!
Julie, thank you for featuring my breaking dormancy tablescape! It’s nestled in with some really cute ideas for spring and Easter!
I hope your new shoes and socks work for you! Having family together is such a blessing. All my siblings (8, all older than me) are gathering this weekend for the first time since our mom passed in 2007. I am beyond excited!
Oh my goodness! That is AMAZING! How did it go? That is LONG time to not be all together! Where did you meet? How many were there? I’m so glad you had the time together!
Julie, you have offered a super fun mix of features! Thanks so much for hosting, wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Melynda @scratchmadefood!

Your family get-togethers sound so fun, Julie! There’s nothing like it for adding a bit of joy to a week! Praying that your dental procedure goes well today and that your recovery today goes well! Thanks, as always, for the party (and for the shoe recommendations, too)! Have a good week!
Thanks, Laura. Procedures went well, gums finally healed after a few days. I came home afterwards and slept for two hours! Crazy getting old! Sleep is required and helps with healing!

My entries this week #24+25
Thank you! So glad to have you with us, Esme!
Thanks for the shoe & bunion suggestions…I desperately need to do something. I’m terrified of getting surgery but mine are so bad! I’ll try anything first! Thanks so much for featuring my door ideas and for hosting each week. Hope all goes well at the dentist!
Shelley
You are so welcome, Shelley. Yeah, I’m not planning on doing surgery… and the shoes are helping SO much. My bunions are not hurting, and it seems there is some feeling coming back to my big toe. I started wearing the corrector, but I need to be more consistent. I think you would find the shoes to be a great help… and they are so affordable! I sized up one full size, and they are doing well!
Thank you so much for featuring my magnolia rolling pin, I loved creating it
You are so welcome! I love rolling pins as decor in kitchens!
Julie, thanks for having us over, and for sharing my Spring Dining Room. Hope your dental work situation goes well. Your new shoes do look really comfy. Life is not as good when you’re feet are hurting.
You are so welcome, Debra. Teeth are doing well, and feet are feeling better. Shoes are def helping!
Thank you for featuring my spring piano…..hugs!
It’s lovely, Penny! Thank you!
Thanks for another fun party Julie. I’m loving all the spring inspo. I hope you don’t have any lingering pain from your procedure and I love that your family gets together like this. It’s so important! Have a great week and enjoy your new shoes. XO- MaryJo
Thanks, MaryJo, for joining each week. It’s a blessing! Took several days for the gums to feel ‘healthy’ again, but I’m doing well. Thank you!
Thanks for hosting! Have a great restof the week
It’s been good to see you the last couple weeks, Cindy! Glad to have you back!
13 must be my lucky number! Thanks for the feature this week my friend! Hope all went well at your appointment!! Hugs!
You’re welcome, and thank YOU! I’m doing well. Temporary still feels weird, and it took several days for my gums to not burn, but I’m doing fine now. 😉
Julie, thanks for featuring my Feast for the Senses spring table. What a lovely surprise! Happy Spring!
You are so welcome, Sandra!
Fantastic features Julie! It was fun hearing about your “family reunion”. And I noticed that Mediavine was way down last month. Did you? What the heck. I even posted more than usual. Ugh. It’s always something.
Yes… my RPM is doing well, but my traffic is awful! Google did another core update, and it hit all of us badly! We need to be praying about this!
Thanks for hosting and featuring my Easter Bunny Candy Bark this week! Have a HOPPY week!
You are so welcome, Laura! Hope you had a great week, too!
Julie, hope you are feeling well after the crowns! Have a peaceful and relaxing week and thank you for hosting all this wonderful inspiration! Creatively, Beth
Thanks, Beth… It wasn’t bad at all!
