'Spring Ahead' Weekend Family Fun

'Spring Ahead' Weekend Family Fun | March 13-14, 2021

Published: Thu, 03/11/21

Hey there,

Before I forget...

This Saturday night into Sunday is Daylight Savings.

When our kids were teeny tiny, I actually liked Spring Ahead for a bit. Because it meant that my kids slept until 8 am.

However, everything else that came with it, like the changes in the nap and meal schedules and the all-encompassing meltdowns, quickly sucked the joy from the day.

So here's me cheering you on . You got this!

St. Patrick's Day is next Wednesday, so check out some of the events happening leading up to "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" Day.

Lucky us, the lovely March weather is going to continue through the weekend! It should be ideal for getting outside and enjoying a break from the cold. We also offer a mix of things to do this weekend indoors. For more ideas, hop over to our March Family Guide or our Family Fun Calendar. We try to keep it stocked with options to fit your family’s needs – whether you’re keeping close to home — or want a break from it.

Studies have found that playing in nature offers a multitude of benefits including psychological well-being, cognitive growth, physical health and social, spiritual and tangible health. It has also been shown to increase a child’s concern for their natural environment. The most recent study recommends that everyone – kids and adults – get at least 120 minutes a week in nature. So how do you do that? We have some ideas for incorporating nature play throughout the year.
