10 Spring Break Survival Tips

 

Are your kids home for Spring Break? Here are a few simple tips to help ensure a happy and fun week: 

1) Avoid the crowds - If you're planning field trips, "plan them for later in the afternoon when attractions are less likely to be crowded" says Jennifer of Jersey Family Fun.

2) Just Relax - Jessica, of DelcopaMoms says "I don't know about everyone else's families but mine runs from soccer to t-ball to gymnastics and back again. One week this spring, the kids don't have activities, we're vegging out! We have one planned activity the entire week. I also plan to hang, watch tv, probably do a TON of coloring but we're relaxing!"

The Best Trifle Recipe Ever

A friend of mine made this trifle and I couldn't believe how similar it was to something my Grandmom used to make.  My Grandmom's recipe was for the most amazing banana split dessert which everyone in my family loved. It was full of pineapple, strawberries, bananas and whipped cream. Yum!

Just like my Grandmom's dessert, this trifle the perfect spring and summer recipe because it's filled with fruit and it's just makes your mouth happy. The best part is that it's pretty easy to make, looks impressive and tasted amazing.

Do you enjoy shopping for gifts? Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with buying gifts. There are time when I find a gift that I absolutely love, but, then I keep second guessing myself whether it's the right gift for the person I'm shopping for. Sometimes, I like a gift so much I have to buy two, so that I get one as well. Other times, I just get frustrated and walk out of a store with nothing.  Please tell me I'm not the only one.
