Ahhh, the temperatures are on the rise and SPRING is slowly, but surely, creeping its way into our lives. Can’t you just FEEL it?! The days are staying lighter longer, the sun is shining a bit more often, and the winter ‘fog’ is beginning to drift away. Soon it will all be a distant memory as we’re back to taking walks, bike riding, playing at the park, eating outdoors…whatever it is you enjoy! Kick start SPRING (and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!) with a few of these ideas:
*Open your windows and let fresh air infiltrate your house!
*Head outside for a walk--by yourself, with your family, with a friend.
*Visit a nearby park for some much needed outdoor playtime…stay a little longer than
you normally might!
*CLEAN. All that sunshine and warm air makes me want to freshen everything up…guess that’s why it’s called SPRING cleaning! Don your best gloves, put some music on, and get dirty!
Have a little ‘green’ fun with your family this St. Patrick’s Day with an idea from below too:
*Have a contest to see who can wear the most green on the 17th.
*Make green smoothies for a snack
*Blend 2 cups spinach, 3 oz yogurt (plain or vanilla), 1/2 banana (add water if too
thick) OR blend 2 kiwi, 1 banana, 1/2 c milk
*Serve rainbow fruit skewers for a snack or special dessert at dinner (strawberries,
oranges, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, grapes)
*Shamrock painting with:
*toilet paper rolls http://www.sassydealz.com/2014/01/shamrock-toilet-paper-roll-stamp-st-patricks-day-craft.html
Hope these put a little “SPRING” in your step!
