Today we get ready for Spring's arrival, and here are some things we do to celebrate Imbolc .

We light candles around our house during the day.

We do our first spring cleaning: I invite my kids to sweep the house and we open the front door and sweep the dust out, this is to symbolize that we get rid of the old and we welcome the new in our lives.

Today is when we prepare the seeds we want for this years vegetable garden and start planting some of them indoors.

We hang Brighid's crosses in the doors that we use the most and above our chimney, and we have a small celebration before the day is over where we write one goal that we want to accomplish this year.

I also want to remind you about my GIVEAWAY so don't forget to leave your comment in the post below for the chance to win 2 of my prints.
