NANA SAYS A LONG WEEKEND BRINGS A SPRING BREAK

With the Easter weekend and Passover dinners, it is a time to enjoy family as well as have a break from school, lessons and work. Stat holidays like Good Friday means no shopping and room for a breather. Church is good as well as staying home watching movies, doing crafts and if the children are really restless and if the weather is nice- go outside to run around! Even if not nice- go outside to run around! Playgrounds may be too wet for safe play but trying with some good spring rubber boots. Having loving family like grandparents that will invite you and the kids to the festive meals so cooking is at a minimal but the food is good. Remember chocolate can bring a high so expect the little ones may be more hyper than normal with all the sweets. Enjoy these special events like the Easter story, the egg hunt and an opportunity to watch some movies, read the stories and try to chill! Reduce too much driving around as it only adds to the stress. At the first sight of some sunshine, get outside. Of course many Easters can have snowy days too- so don't put away all the coats, boots and mitts yet! Happy Easter everyone! Happy Passover everyone!
