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 Bach2Rock, Musical Expressions, Naperville Music Lessons, or by visiting Ellman's Music Center.
2. Cook together
Did you know March is National Nutrition Month? Make it fun for the whole family by including everyone in the kitchen.
3. Read a book
March 2 is Read Across America Day, the perfect day to start that new book as a family. Visit Anderson's Bookshop 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 Luxia Nails and Spa or NailBar Studio 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!
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!

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 Naperville Area Humane Society, ADOPT Pet Shelter or Wags 2 Wishes.

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! Kids LOVE the waffles at Eggs Inc Cafe, Egg Cited Pancake House or Colonial Cafe.
