Kids love getting outside and observing nature in action

This free bug book printable is a wonderful way to keep track of what they see and learn.  Just like our other kids’ science activities, this bug activity is a quick prep, engaging afternoon project.

Appetizers Cheese Dip Easy Spring

This beer cheese dip recipe, has warm hint of mustard and a complex mix of spices that compliments pretzels and dipping veggies perfectly.

Especially when it’s in combination with soft pretzels or smeared on a soft pretzel bun. If I’m at a pub (which is fairly rare nowadays, but it still happens) and there is an option for soft pretzels with cheese dip, I will order it. It doesn’t matter what else is available. We’re getting the pretzels with cheese dip. Making your own beer cheese dip at home is...
