Creamy One-Pot Chicken Asparagus Pasta
Yesterday was the first official day of spring! I honestly can’t believe it. Time goes by quicker and quicker the older I get. My oldest son is almost as tall as my husband and it seems like just yesterday that he was a little guy that I was strapping in his car seat.
Around here, it’s starting to feel more like spring. It’s greener, warmer and the days are a bit longer (thanks to daylight savings, lol!). It’s also full blown baseball season, which means of course it’s spring! We’ve been so busy with baseball and other extracurricular activities lately that I’ve been going a little crazy.
