Days and nights are longer and staying lighter. Families have more time to reconnect after an otherwise disjointed day. Summertime is beckoning families to the great outdoors. What better way to de-stress than to run around with the kids in your own backyard and spend quality time with the family. If you play hard, you’ll even work off those extra lattes you were sipping to stay awake during those cold winter months. In addition, what better way to encourage a love of being active and outdoors? If you’re ready to enjoy the warm weather and have some backyard fun, grab the kids, head outside and play a few of these super fun, family-friendly games.
Whether you are the most novice gardener, or have been blessed with the greenest thumb around, container planting can be - and is - for you.
It's winter break.... or maybe it's a snow day. Whatever it is, the kids are home from school, you're broke and they're driving you a little crazy. Besides begging a relative to take them for a few hours, what can you do to entertain and enjoy your kids when it's cold outside and you're stuck indoors?
There’s no need to get cold feet about spending a winter day outdoors. Bundle up and head out for some snow fun.
Flake Catching - Chill a sheet of black paper in the freezer. Take the sheet outside during snowfall. Watch and examine the flakes carefully and see how many different shapes you can see.
