Being May

Let’s get this out of the way—yes, May is my birthday month 🎂, and that definitely earns it some bonus points.

But honestly, even if I were born in a less sparkly month (looking at you, February ❄️), May would still be my absolute favorite.

Why? Because May is the month where everything just feels...better!

After months of chilly mornings and bundling up like a human burrito, May comes waltzing in like a breath of fresh air. The trees are finally full again, the flowers are unapologetically showing off, and the world smells like fresh blooms bursting with possibility. You can’t help but feel a little more alive when everything around you is waking up.

It’s that magical sweet spot between spring and summer—when the days are longer ⏰, the skies are brighter ☀️, and the air still has that cool kiss in the morning that reminds you it's not quite blazing hot yet. You can open your windows without getting roasted, wear sandals without regretting it, and spend more time outdoors without melting into a puddle.

May has this built-in energy of renewal and refreshing. It’s the month where I find myself cleaning out closets, rearranging furniture, dreaming up new projects and saying, “Yes” to more spontaneous adventures. It’s not just a month—it’s a mood shift.

And don’t even get me started on the vibes. Picnics in the park, patio brunches, the smell of sunscreen making its first seasonal appearance.

You can feel the anticipation for summer in the air—weddings 💍, vacations ✈️, cookouts 🍔, beach days 🏖️, and lazy evenings that stretch out just a little longer each day 🌅.

Everything feels a little more possible in May. A little more joyful. A little more alive.

✨And here’s another reason I love this very special month: it’s the perfect planning window. It’s not too late to pull together an unforgettable late summer soirée 🥳, and not too early to start dreaming up dazzling end-of-year celebrations 🎊. Whether you are envisioning an intimate backyard gathering or a grand holiday bash, May gives you the space, the inspiration, and the momentum to make it all happen.
