5 on Friday - It's Springtime!

1. Springtime Activities for Little Ones:
Check out some of the ones we've been having fun with this Spring!
Buzzy Grass Grow Kit
 
Little Tikes Farm 3-D Memory Match Up
  
 Plastic Bug Jar Craft Kit
 
 
2. Books & Schleich Animals:
We love books! Want to know about another one of our loves?
See that little cow in the top left-hand corner of this Instagram collage?
That is a Schleich cow. They make so many fun animals!
Check out this cute giraffe. We have some of the others as well - They are incredibly durable, and I love the ways they can be used for imaginative play.
 
3. Healthy Eating:
As the weather gets nicer, and we start enjoying more and more variety at the local Farmer's Markets, I have been focusing on mixing more and more fresh produce in to our meals at home!
I love scrambling eggs with fresh spinach & a little dash of garlic powder! For a low carb option, eat it just like that with some slices of tomato on the side, but if you walk to indulge, enjoy this mixture on a slice of sourdough bread. Mmm!
Have you checked out my yummy pasta salad recipe?
 It is perfect for spring/summer!
I think you'll love it~

4. Outside Play:
I love taking the boys outside! Following naptime, we spend many of our afternoons in the great outdoors - enjoying the back yard, playing at the park, or taking a walk~ These moments with my kiddos are the simplest and yet they are some of my favorites.

5. Yard Work:
It seems like there is always an outdoor project to do! This Spring, we've been arranging rock, preparing the irrigation system for warmer weather, planting, weeding, preparing a new patio/fire pit area, and planting some more! (Did I mention we've been doing some planting?)
My hubby is great at letting my oldest get involved. See? Caleb even has his own tractor. ;-)

I hope your spring is off to a great start! Except for allergies and a few days that have been extra rainy, we have been loving our spring days! I definitely dig warmer weather and am anxiously awaiting summer mornings at the pool!
