A week without school. Maybe this is something you’ve been waiting for since December. Plenty of time for hugggies and snuggies and a little DIY sugar on snow. Or, maybe, you have no idea what to do with your kid for five days without structure and homework.

Whether you’re as over-the-moon for Spring Break as the children, or dreading it with every fiber of your being, let us help make this a Spring Break to remember. 

There are some really creative (and inexpensive) ideas out there to help keep them entertained for much of the day. And at meal time, have fun together!We have tasty dishes that you will enjoy eating, and your kids will enjoy making with you. For #WhatToEatThisWeek, we’re cooking with kids for the spring break.
