We've almost made it to March! This month brings such promise, with spring just a few weeks away. I recommend celebrating by splurging on a charming tea party (with a pot of color-changing tea for extra magic, of course). You can also save this month with a bevy of free family-friendly activities. My top 10 weekend events will get you out of the house, whether you want to find a new favorite book, learn fascinating facts about nature or meet a mermaid.
