Spring is in the air, which means the air gets warmer, the grass gets greener and leaves sprout on trees. Unfortunately, spring also can mean heavy rains that make any drive – short or long – extremely challenging.

Spring has arrived and as the sun warms each day, you are spending more time outdoors with your children. It’s a wonderful idea to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air and outdoor playtime, but it’s also important to keep spring safety topics in mind so your family is protected.

It might seem to a lot of tech-hungry Americans who live in rural areas that advancements in technology are slow to reach them. The good news is that this trend seems to be slowly changing thanks to some high-speed satellite Internet providers.

The rainy weather during the spring months can often keep your children cooped up indoors, begging for entertainment. Instead of spending the afternoon watching a movie or playing video games, invite your kids into the kitchen to help whip up a delicious meal that doubles as playtime. Cooking with your kids is a great way to introduce them to basic math, chemistry, different cultures and foods, and more – no matter how young they are. Best of all, it can be both fun and rewarding, especially when your kids proudly pass around their creative dish to share with friends and family members.

Calling all grandparents. What are your plans for spring break? Have you thought about planning a vacation with your grandchildren?
