In like a lion. . .March begins on a Monday this year. The perfect day to welcome the month in which spring becomes the official season. March is deceptively steady. The desire to begin to purge the old to prepare for the new grows strong this month. While January is about starting a new and fresh year, March has some of those same qualities: shedding our layers and becoming productive.
- Print the March 2010 calendar. Take note of holidays and special occasions. Fill in your own special days: birthdays, anniversaries. Fill in any appointments your family might have for March.
- Prepare to spring forward on March 14. Get ready for darker mornings and lighter evenings.
- Begin to plan your garden. Order the seeds you’ll need. Take the opportunity to spruce up your weedy, overgrown garden plot.
- Begin to prepare your lists for spring cleaning later this month and into the next.
- Finish up your taxes, if you haven’t already. Time is beginning to run a little short. Get them done now while you have the time.
- Many families have a spring break from school during the month of March. What are your plans? If you work, do you have childcare lined up?
- If your family celebrates Easter, know that it is very shortly after March ends – April 4. Begin to plan your dinner and activities. Buy the supplies and ingredients you need in plenty of time.
Click on the calendar above to print. Add your own special dates. Note the things you want to accomplish this month. Hang it in a prominent spot for the whole house to see.
