Happy Spring! Hopefully it's here to stay now.

May brings us Mother's Day, so I've got a good idea for the kids to make as a Mother's Day gift for mom or grandma. And with the weather getting nice, we'll be spending more time outside. I've provided one recipe for a snack on-the-run and one recipe for backyard play.
