Here's To Getting The Kids Out Of The House...And Knowing What To Do With Them
Spring may have officially sprung, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to break out the shorts and flip flops just yet. We know; we’re all anxious to ditch the itchy wool sweaters and puffy parkas. And yeah, we know the kids are sick of those endless Harry Potter marathons. Don’t worry though, soon enough you’ll be busy enough running from soccer to tennis to ballet—but in the meantime, here’s some kid-friendly activities to keep you occupied.
