Up here in Michigan, the weather is breaking. You can catch glimpses of daffodils, green grass, and the return of summer birds.

Most schools have Easter/Spring break next week or the following. It can be very stressful trying to juggle work and kids during this time.

Why not take a break yourself? Even if it is just for one day, or a couple hours each day, you will feel much better focusing on your kids than cramming in work between interruptions by bored kids.

Find a local attraction like a park, hands-on museum or zoo that your kids can enjoy. Pack a lunch and take a bike ride with your kids.
