April Blog Post Ideas, Social Media Prompts and More

Is it too late to say welcome to April? I swear it feels like this year is flying by and the months are getting shorter. Of course, I know that’s not the case but it sure feels like it.

Here’s to April bringing us breezy days filled with sunshine and fluffy clouds, beautiful flowers in full bloom and brief rain showers followed by full rainbows.

We know content is incredibly important so each month we’re giving you a blog prep kit with blog post ideas, social media prompts (aka hashtag holidays), and some noteworthy dates to add to your planner. We’ll also toss in a few fun, wacky and wild holidays just to liven things up a bit, as well.

For example, April 26th is “Take our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.” If you’re a parent, that would be a great opportunity to spend the day with your kids and capture the memory in a blog post. Or, if you’re a food blogger, maybe you’ve got some great recipe ideas around some of the upcoming holidays that your readers would appreciate.

Your final thoughts were to share our favorite part about April and/or Spring. I am grateful for the huge list of blogs and resources. I love spring because I love summer. Spring is when the plants need to be set and the world starts to wake up for a couple of seasons. I get to see the previous years outdoor grooming as well as plant my garden and any new exciting landscaping plants that I have been waiting on for the fall and winter before I can put them in the earth. Spring for me is like baking an amazing dessert. Lots of time and energy goes into it accompanied by wonderful smells(flowering plants) then you have to wait for it to bake. Summer is the eating of the dessert and enjoying the fruits of your labors.
