Spring Break Part II (Alternate Title: SO OVER IT)
Spring Break is TOO LONG. It came in like a lamb, all soft and warm and fuzzy with good family memories at the ski hill, but this second week is proving to be a ghastly lion as the girls claw each others' eyeballs out and bicker for hours on end.

Spring Break: Movies & Activities for Chillaxing Time

Spring Break: Close to Home
I cannot believe that it is already the first week in February – where did January go? As much as I don’t love winter, you really can’t beat those beautiful crisp days where you can spend hours building forts and snow “people”.
