Fun Music at a Great Price and Spring Starts Tomorrow!

Have you heard of the Juice Box Heros? They are a group that put kid friendly lyrics to adult songs.  Today Mamapedia has a deal where you can get a box set Loose Tooth and No Sugar Added for only $13 which is about half off. Super cool deal, I figured I just had to share it.

Mamapedia has a bunch of other great deals, it is sort of like Groupon but for families and they donate a certain amount to the school of your choice when you make a purchase, pretty neat.

Now on to spring. Tomorrow is the official first day of spring and I am hoping that it is not snowing like it did today (unheard of for the area we live in to have snow this time of year). If I get my way we are going to go outside and plant some pea seeds, onions, and some other good things. We are going to try making our own pots from newspapers to start seedlings in. 

I also checked out a few books from the library about spring to read with the kids and we are going to do a spring flower hunt and bug hunt if the weather holds out. 

What are you doing to ring in spring?

Itching for Spring-UPDATE

About a week ago I wrote about my kids doing an indoor planting project to help spring come a little faster at our house. You can read the whole thing here. Well I just wanted to pass on a little update on how those little seeds are coming along.


I have to say that I still get so much joy and excitement from seeing seeds/bulbs starting to sprout! Oh the little joys in life right? They are getting taller now and we are going to need to thin them out (as you can tell there are a lot of them, that is what happens when little hands are allowed to plant seeds).

 I have also noticed that many trees around here are starting to get little flower buds, my lilac is starting to get leaves at an amazingly fast pace, and Territorial Seed Company says it is almost time to plant peas! Now I really need to get on deer proofing my raised beds stat! 

I was also given an amazon gift card last year and was supposed to get this little green house thing: 
                                            


Has any one used this? If I end up getting it I will let you know how it is. I think this would make starting plants inside much more feasible.


What are you doing to prepare for spring?
