Spring
Treasure Hunt
Don’t you just love it when your kids show you how to play a game or do a new activity? My daughter did just that a few weeks ago, after reading and looking at a book called “Treasure Hunts” by Lenny Hort.

Start your garden
Every year we have the same ritual in our house, when the signs of spring arrive we start with seeds indoors.

Make a birdhouse
There is definitely spring in the air in Toronto. Even though it looks like Ol’ Man Winter has had a hard time letting go this year, the snow here is mostly melted and the days have become longer and slightly warmer.
Our new pets this winter has given us a lot of joy: cardinals, woodpeckers, blue jays, chickadees, morning doves and even a hawk has visited our small urban backyard. It is hard to believe that we live in the fifth largest city in North America when you look out our backyard windows. I’m so happy we finally found a birdfeeder that was squirrel proof and attracted so many different birds.
