A plastic poncho is a great substitute for an umbrella. It can fit in a pocket, and if it does rain (March, after all!) you can keep your arms inside and keep EVERYTHING dry! Keep enjoying the outdoors, rain or shine!



Cereal may be your thing, but change up your breakfast with a vegetable. Fried eggplant (or tomato!) or mixed steamed veggies! Stir in some fried egg, if you want, but a few mushrooms or cucumber slices will give you a fresh start to the day!


Green is keen on St. Patty's Day! Whip up a batch of green cookies (or maybe green milk for a treat). Food coloring does the trick. (Green scrambled eggs, anyone? Lol!)


Find a spare corner in your house to establish a reading nook. A beanbag, a variety of books ... let your kids catch you using it, and they'll want to join you! Good Reads can be a good place to start your reading list!


Cloth sneakers are a sign of spring, but wet socks are no fun. Buy a can of spray waterproofing and get to it! (And carry a spare pair of socks just in case!)
