April, and it’s showers, is over, so bring on the May flowers!! It might be raining where you are, but it’s 90 degrees with 1000% humidity here in NC. Have I mentioned how much I loathe summers in the south?? Well, I do. It’s May and it already feels like summer. One good thing about May would be the flowers that are starting to bloom. My girls have spent hours picking honeysuckles in our backyard. It’s become quite the neighborhood kid event. They are going to have to find something else to do soon because I don’t think there are many suckles left!! Here are a few flower sandwiches from the past that I wanted to bring back.

It’s been raining the last few days here, which is what inspired this fun kids snack (or even lunch). Being cooped up inside, I thought I’d get creative with goldfish flowers, string-cheese clouds and sunflower-seed raindrops (it was either that or play yet another round of Candy Land!). The results brightened up an otherwise gloomy afternoon, and as I reminded my girls, let’s not wish the rain away because, after all, April showers bring May flowers!

Nothing says spring like a crystal blue sky, a stiff breeze and a soaring kite darting through the air. Now that the days are getting longer, we’re looking forward to some after-school outings in the park on those days when the weather is too perfect to stay inside. But of course, the other thing about spring is the changeable weather. So when those gloomy April showers have you cooped up, you and your kids can still have some wholesome fun with this (edible) kite! It’s easy breezy!

Flowers are blooming, birds are singing — spring is definitely here! That means mama birds are building their nests, and we always like to see which ones appear in our favorite climbing trees. My kids love to peek inside to see if there are eggs yet, or even more thrilling, little baby birds. But I always have to tell them that as cute as the birds can sometimes be, not to disturb them. Instead, I came up with this “nest” that I don’t need to worry about my girls messing with!

Ah, spring has finally sprung — the bunnies are hopping, the daffodils are blooming, and the stores are wall-to-wall with Easter candy. You may have trouble convincing you kids that there aren’t just three major food groups this time of year (chocolate, jelly beans and Peeps), but here’s a fun way to get their noses out of their Easter baskets — an adorable (and cheesy, but in a good way) chickadee quesadilla served peeping hot.

I’ve got bunnies on the brain — must be because Easter is right around the corner! This simple yet festive dinner was brought to you by leftovers. I know, I know—kids hate leftovers, right? But when you present them in an irresistible way, what’s not to love? My girls got their own bunny dinner last night, and their squeals of joy brought a smile to my face! Take that leftovers!
