05 | March | 2015 | Entertain Kids On A Dime
Hello Everyone. For some strange reason, I feel this week has flown by for me. Although, today was so cold that I was resenting winter. I would love to be on an island right now laying on a chair while my two kids play next to me in the sand. A girl can dream right?
Most of this weekend’s postings are in and around the GTA. For next week, the calendar will be much more spread out within Ontario as we move into March Break. There will be St. Patty’s Day activities happening as well. I hope everyone has a great weekend and keep your kids bundled 🙂
