March Magic: Fun, Romantic, and Sweet Things to Do

Hello! We are in our second week of March and man that time change is hitting me or it could be the many jobs or the dog sitting gigs but hey a day above ground is a good day right because the alternative sucks. 

It’s time to start shaking off winter’s chill and sprinkling some fun and sweetness into our busy lives. Whether you’re stealing moments for yourself,  with your partner, or making memories with your little ones, I’ve got a handful of fun, family-friendly ideas to make this month extra special. Let’s dive in!

1. Cozy Up for a “Mommy-and-Me” Picnic

March weather can be a tease! One day crisp and sunny but the next cold again so grab a blanket, pack some snacks (goldfish crackers and chocolate-dipped strawberries, etc), and head outside for some much needed Vitamin D. Find a patch of grass or even your backyard, and let smiles lose as you snack and watch the clouds. Bonus romance tip: Sneak in a picnic date with your partner after the kids are asleep—twinkle lights and a thermos of hot cocoa or a bottle of wine and two glasses can make it spicy!

2. Flower Hunt 

Spring’s first blooms are peeking out, and there’s nothing sweeter than turning it into a family adventure. Grab your little explorers and hunt for flowers in the park. Make it a game! Whoever spots the most wins. For the romantic vibe, slip one of those flowers into your hair  and let your partner know later you will be in full bloom and ripe for picking 🤪

3. Movie Night: Kid Edition and Couple’s Encore

As a mommy, you’re probably no stranger to Paw Patrol marathons, but let’s make it fun for everyone. Pop some popcorn, pile on the couch with blankets, and let the kids pick their fave movie. Once they’re tucked in for the night switch gears and queue up a rom-com or action flick with your love, dim the lights, and sip something warm (or bubbly!). Two movie nights, one cozy evening. You’re winning at life! 

4. Snow Angels and Sweet Kisses

If March throws a late snow your way (hello, unpredictable weather!), don’t groan play! Bundle up the kids and play in the snow. Laughing with your kids is the ultimate heart-warmer. Then, when your partner is around ask them to join you and steal a quick kiss while the snowflakes fall. Cold noses, warm hearts. What’s more romantic than that?

5. Pamper Yourself (Because You Deserve It!)

Being a woman and a mommy means you’re a superhero 24/7, so carve out a little “me time” this month. Run a bubble bath after bedtime, light a candle, grab a book or some wine or your favorite playlist and breathe! Feeling flirty? Invite your partner to join you for a spa night with face masks and foot rubs included.
