The Providence Children’s Museum is open from 5-7pm this Friday the 19th and it’s FREE! Oh it’s so fun!
Coastal Growers Farmers Market is having a fundraiser this Saturday at the Lafayette Mill in North Kingstown 7-10 pm. Great way to bring in the spring!
Around the Internet
From the Children and Nature Network… What’s Your State Doing to get Children into Nature?
The Let’s Move campaign is asking for your suggestions. Might I remind you that the plan is lacking one great link to…. you got it NATURE!
The Active Kids Club is seeking friends! Check out this video on all the fun they are having! Now who wants to stay indoors?
With spring coming I think we’re all ready to romp and stomp outside, but here are the pictures from one mom’s adventure with her kids… so much fun!
Tastefully timed tribute to the potato! Happy Saint Patty’s Day friends, now sit down and bake a tater!
Slow down folks! Here’s a great reason why… we miss so much when we’re running here and there.
If you’re thinking towards school next fall for a soon-to-be-preschooler (like me!) or re-evaluating educational choices… think about the places where education is free!
Back Home in My Backyard
We planted grass for our Easter baskets! Here’s how… and yes, we did this in our kitchen not our backyard….
Yesterday we spent a grand total of… can you guess? 6 hours in our backyard! Here’s what we did:
- Cleaned up pine branches that had fallen in the rainy, windy storm earlier this week.
- Ran barefoot.
- Made mud pies and mud puddles and got totally dirty.
- Looked for signs of spring we found 1) daffodils and tulips coming up, 2) a small iris flowering, 3) garlic shoots in the garden, and 4) buds on the trees.
- We planted lettuce seeds (and I am planning to plant spinach today).
- Played- our jungle gym turned into a myriad of wonderful things courtesy of the children’s magnificent imaginations.
- When we were tired, we took a “nap” in the backyard on blankets (but didn’t actually sleep because it was too exciting!
Our chickens are producing eggs… yesterday we got two perfect blue eggs and two perfect brown eggs. My son says that the blue eggs are just for him… laid by his special chicken.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day my friends… as a tribute to the day, get grass stains!
