I’m a toss-the-kids-out-the-door kind of parent. Children (along with teens and adults for that matter) just don’t get enough time outside these days. I can remember enjoying some wonderfully long days climbing trees, skating, creating, digging & exploring.
But I grew up with siblings and neighbors that were all close in age. My daughter doesn’t have the luxury of playmates knocking at her door.

Here are some fun & practical ways to recycle plastic eggs.
What do you remember about the spring days of your childhood?
I have vivid memories of waking up to the sounds of birds and smelling the lilacs in our back yard, along with lots of time outside playing in the backyard and having adventures in the nearby woods.
Spring is definately a time for adventures and trying new things!
