Thank you for reading our eZine.
Right after the "spring forward time change" I tend to notice that I get a "spring in my step". I get excited about the change in clothes (although after holidays mine seem to be fitting a bit tighter). It takes forever to get the kids out the door in the winter, so I finally get to be few minutes early vs. late for where we are going. The kids are asking to have the windows down, they open the windows in the house to hear the birds singing, we saw our resident geese on Monday and yes I am on the search for new rubber boots for the kids. They grew more than I thought. So what gives you a spring in your step? I'd love to hear.
I am very excited today to give away tickets to a new concert for Preschoolers - The Wiggles - Check that out and enter today. We also found a contest with Royale that will help renovate the house and send you on holidays. Really great idea, why should we not get a vacation when we want to live in our dream home, so check that out below also. Spring also means, spring cleaning so why not get ride of the old rags, you deserve new cleaning tools also so check out these environmentally friendly ones.
