How good is the music from the two trolls movies? I think I love these soundtracks just as much as my kids. Take the whole family out for a night at the PPL Center (or a day if that works better for schedule) for Trolls Live! (Tuesday March 29th - Wednesday March 30th)


5- Get Outside!

March is notorious for its range in temperature. There may be days that we're stuck inside watching the snow, but there are also warmer days on the horizon! Load up the kids and head out on those days! Find a new park, hit a new hiking trail, go for a bike ride! Whatever you do, it'll feel wonderful to get the sun on your face!
