March 7 – Play with Your Food!
Have you ever seen a smile in a curvy yellow squash, or found a frowning pepper? Author and photographer Saxton Freyman finds faces in food all the time. Today, we will too!

March 21 - Flower Power
Spring is here again, and flowers are back! Today we'll be making festive floral wreaths to add some greens and pinks and yellows back to the outside.

March 28 - Bird House Mobiles
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the birdies is? Here in LA, the birdies never really fly away, but it is nice to see everything getting a little warmer. Let's celebrate the outside with Bird House Mobiles we can put up outdoors!
