Last night here in Michigan we had our first spring thunderstorm, and today we are having blizzards of snow. Yes, it’s April and it’s still snowing. So, this post is my love letter to springtime that feels like it will never come. We love to do many of these items every spring with our nieces and nephew. I hope you enjoy your spring as much as we hope too.

Here’s a quick list of 45 things to do this spring with your family…

1. Bike Ride

Can’t you just picture going on family bike rides on this beautiful bike? Although I’d have a hard time choosing between the aqua blue color or the coral. Which would you choose?

2. Farmer’s Market

3. Plant a Garden

Let your kids have a special flower garden in your backyard, or plant a pizza garden with this special kit. The possibilities are endless. If you choose to plant vegetables and want to get your kids more involved in the kitchen, check out these cooking kits from Kid Stir. Your kids will love using the herbs, tomatoes, and peppers they plant in their pizza garden to make their very own pizzas. Here’s more about the pizza garden kit…
