1. Dance to the beat

March is Music in Our Schools Month. But why limit it to school? Check out these stories for at-home music fun:

And take the initiative by signing up your kids for lessons at Uptown Music Collective, or by visiting Robert M. Sides.  Uptown Music Collective has been providing EXCEPTIONAL music education for 20 years! 

2. Cook together

Did you know March is National Nutrition Month? Make it fun for the whole family by including everyone in the kitchen.  Sign up to take a cooking class with Kitchen Repose!  Did you know that Weis Markets offers virtual cooking classes for children and adults!

3. Read a book

March 2 is Read Across America Day, the perfect day to start that new book as a family. Visit Otto Bookstore, America's Oldest Independently Owned Bookstore, for some great family-friendly reading picks!

4. Spoil those tootsies

Yep, what you've heard is true: March 6-13 is Feet Week. There's really a week for everything these days, isn't there? Celebrate your hardworking tootsies (and maybe take an afternoon break for yourself!) by heading to Healthy Touch Day Spa or La Chic Total Image and Day Spa for a pedicure. Your feet will thank you.

5. Plan a staycation

Whether for spring break or just a weekend day, plan a staycation right here at home and act like a tourist! Here's a fun one-day itinerary:

  • Start your day by visiting Fly World-Kaos Fun Zone
  • Stop for lunch at Pier 87.
  • Then head for a walk on the River Walk and take in the sights of the river and surrounding area.  If it is a rainy day, head to the World of Little League Museum.
  • Head to one of Williamsport and Surrounding areas restaurants that kids love for dinner.  

Want to extend the fun!  Book a stay at a local hotel!  I know my kids have been wanting to do this.  

6. Clean!

OK, maybe this isn't your idea of a good time but we love a good deep spring cleaning. Crank up your family's favorite tunes and give everyone a job to do. Or better yet, think about hiring a cleaning company to visit your home regularly ... it can be a sanity-saver for a busy family! Check out Williamsport Housekeeping for ALL your Spring Cleaning needs.

7. Plant something

It's been a looooong winter but spring arrives in March! Not only that, but March 12 is National Plant a Flower Day! Get to Fort Muncy or Helminiak's Greenhouses & Landscaping and buy yourself something green. 

8. Eat that second piece of pie

March 13 is Pi Day! Make a pie (we love this paper bag apple pie) or head to Orlando's in Muncy and try one of their delicious deserts!

9. Trap that leprechaun

Check out our list of 17 Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day With Kids then head out to Moon & Raven Public House for some delicious food!  Our favorite is the Shepard's Pie!  

10. Pet allllll the puppies

March 23 is National Puppy Day ... but isn't every day Puppy Day? It should be! Check out puppies (and sweet doggies of all ages!) at the Lycoming County SPCA. Ask about volunteering or drop off a donation!

11. Enjoy weekend waffles

International Waffle Day is in March. Make a fun waffle bar at home for kids to choose their own toppings, or head to your favorite breakfast spot in town! My kids LOVE the waffles at Harvest Moon!
