Imagine a family activity that gets everyone outdoors into the fresh air. Where everyone cooperates and works together toward one common goal, that can be done practically anywhere and that even incorporates a tech toy, namely a GPS (Global Positioning System) to find hidden treasure. Yes – hidden treasure!
Trying to manage the growing of vegetables and planting of spring flowers can be overwhelming with young children in tow, but it can be done. Spring is a great time to let children get down and dirty with you in the soil: when you’re cleaning out your garden for planting, there is no risk of fresh flowers getting pulled or seeds being trampled.
Just when you thought winter would never end, spring arrives. Sure, we’re bound to have some more snow fall, and it’ll be a while before our gardens are blanketed in bright colored flowers; but the days are longer, the temperature is rising and there is so much to look forward to! Here are great tips to help you and your family embrace the season, have fun and stick to your budget.
