April is Filled with Fun and Excitement!

By Kamlyn April 4, 2014
It's finally spring!! In the national capital region we have been bombarded with sleet, hail, wind, rain, ice and snow and that was just last week. I know a lot of you across the country understand. I have seen the extreme weather forecasts that we have all faced lately, so I have to say, please let April bring warmer temps and even some sunshine when it isn't raining.

PCS season is just around so I've included a couple articles for you. Sesame Street has an app that helps children handle their feelings and say goodbye to their friends. You can find out more about the app in Sesame Street Friends Help Military Children Move. Your family support center also has programs that will help you handle the stress of moving. Find it in Support for Moving Stress

We've got great news to deliver! The airshows are back. You can find the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds schedule HERE

Spring is a great time to take care of your car. I know mine is covered in salt on the outside and the inside, plus a few other things that collected over winter. The Car Care Council has shared some helpful hints in April is National Car Care Month

April is also Month of the Military Child. You can find a great printable recognizing your military child at bluestarfamilies.org. The commissary has also teamed up with many national companies to provide savings and giveaways for military families. You can find out all the details in Commissaries Highlight Month of Military Child with Savings.

Finally, this April means Easter at my house. I have included 5 easy to-do activities to make your Easter a little more fun. Read about them in Hippity Hoppity Easter's On Its Way!
