With spring in full bloom, many families, and parent bloggers, are looking for ways to enjoy life more and Katja Presnal, freshly moved to Europe, is going out of her way to encourage parent bloggers everywhere to live a little and share their tips on how they live their lives to the fullest with her Live a Little Monday bloghop series. Last week Katja, Skimbaco, shared her tips for enjoying spring; these tips don’t take much more or much time, just a little imagination and a positive outlook. Among the bloggers who also participated in Live a Little Monday, Party Blueprints Blog has some great spring yellow party ideas and accessories to help parents make the most out of their spring get-togethers. Life with Lisa encouraged her readers to eat outside for their comfort zones, while Lisa Overman continues with the spring theme and offers tips for bringing spring to life this year.
