«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 926 Newer› Newest»Well, we don't really have a spring break here. BUT my son is in preschool this year and this is his first "official" spring break week. So, he is going to go spend the night at his great-grandma's and while he is gone, Daddy and I are going to redo his bedroom! Paint and all. Such a fun surprise for him!
I love your jewlery. Hopefully one of my four kids will pick up on my hints to your web page.
My 6 year old granddaughter loves art. She's always asking if she can play with my crafts. my grandkids live with me so i will be watching them. I want to teach her how to make a book she can start journaling in. We will also attend the annual Ostrich festival in chandler az, the weather is going to be beautiful!
We're going on vacation with the inlaws--a cruise to the Bahamas. Can't wait!
For spring break I will be traveling from California to San Antonio, TX to see my fiancé graduate from his AIT training in the Army. I’m excited that he is finally graduating. To celebrate we will be going to the Alamo, the River Walk, and the Natural Bridge Caverns. Then it’s back to California for relaxation at Lake Tahoe. It should be an awesome week, I can’t wait!
We are planning a complete FAMILY OVERHAUL! We have recently realized certain things- we are in debt, unorganized and unconnected as a family. Therefore, we will take everything we have learned from fellow bloggers and put it into play. We will make organized binders on food and schedules and such. The kids need to know their chores, so on to a chore chart. Our house needs major renovations, but in the mean time, we have somehow neglected to make our house a home- we will hang pictures and use some paint we have to spruce up some areas in the home. We will get rid of clutter and throw out, giveaway or sell on ebay anything that is not being used!
We are strongly considering homeschooling. We will research, pray and ask if this is something we can really do.
We will get back on track as a family and strengthen the bonds between our 4 children as this is more important than any friend they could have.
We will enjoy each other and remember that we are truly blessed.
And maybe one full day , we can just kick back and eat pizza and do nothing but be together!
My five-year-old daughter and I are taking the train (first train trip for her!) to Seattle to visit my brother and sister-in-law, then my sister will pick us up and we'll head up to her place on Whidbey Island for the first part of the week.
I plan on spending time with my bestfriend making "Garden stones/makers of her 1st grandchild.
Spring Training in AZ! Baseball isn't my favorite, but my husband loves it enough for both of us, and I love him. Getting away is always fabulous.
Since I have 4 kids, I'm going to let each one choose what we are going to do for one day, including what we will eat. The other days off we'll be resting up from the busy 4 days!
My 6 month old son is getting surgery on his hand during spring break, I would love some adorable jewelry to lighten the mood!
I don't really get a "spring break" I'm currently "wine-booking" for 4 days...mmmm, wine and scrapbooking!! fun fun
I'm heading to Garner State Park here in TX!!
We are having fun at home, and hopefully going to get a great day in at the arboretum.
we will be camping, roasting smores...getting dirty, hiking, and being one with nature :) gotta love the outdoors...
Hi! Let's see for spring break, mine isn't until April 4th so, I think for that week I might try to do something creative and use that time to study for school. :) Also, spend more time with family. :)
Thank you for the great giveaway opportunity!
Blessings,
Rachel M. from Hopejourney

Spring Break is still a few weeks out here in the Sunshine State - and I have NO idea how I'll be celebrating it! :)
Spending time with Miss B, getting the flower planters ready, and hopefully peacefully sleeping.
The kids and I will be going to Washington to see my hubby :) He got stationed there back in May and we are just hoping the house here in TN sells but for now its visits back and forth :)
Love your stuff!!!
I'm going to spend time getting caught up, having fun with my mom, and then going to my Grandma's for a couple days with a friend from college. Nothing better than spending time with friends AND family!
Oh and I also blogged about it on my blog...http://marrinersmusings.blogspot.com/2010/03/another-giveaway.html
THANKS! Cannot wait to hear who wins!!!

My family and I are going on a much needed mini-camping trip to Fort Wilderness at Disney... then I think we are just going to enjoy eachother's company, playing, swimming, walking, and some good family time!! It will most definitely be filled with LOADS of love and crafts!!! =)

one word for spring break: BUBBLES!!! We are going to go bubble crazy and take them everywhere. Who doesn't like to see bubbles floating in the breeze towards the bright blue sky :) So all of our adventures that week will have bubbles toted along that we plan on using to bring some smiles from strangers and some happy spring thoughts to all! I wonder how much more fun grocery shopping will be with a mini bubble session before we go in :)
We're planning on going to have a theatre run this spring break. Wicked, Hairspray, Thriller, Grease, We Will Rock You. I'm getting whisked away next weekend too, to a secret location! All I know is that I'll need my passport!
A visit to the Mayfield Dairy plant to see how our favorite milk and ice cream are made. All the kids (4, 6, 18...and his girlfriend) and me, 46, are more excited than we should be about this little hour and a half trip to Athens, TN. No telling what else we'll get into. We'll probably try to pick a day for a picnic at Papa's cabin and a nature walk for dear me to get some photos of the 3 kiddos together (might use these as a MOther's Day gift).
So, not anything exotic, extensive, or expensive...just good, clean fun.
And, I really, really {heart} your jewelry design so, so much.
I am going to practice taking pictures with my DSLR, using my cutie-pie daughter as my subject! Time to soak up the sun!
I am going to hang around my house and take my girls swimming at an indoor pool down the road a few times! Make a lot of sweet treats for St. Patty's day and go to a little kiddie party to celebrate!
We are going to go to Utah and surprise our son who is swimming, cycling and running in a triathlon!
This is not his first competition but it will be the first one we have been able to attend. The added bonus is we will be able to visit with 8 of our 11 grandchildren. I can't think of a better way to spend any break, spring or not!!

SLEEP! ;o)
Really, I hope to get to some home organizing and redecorating that I have been putting off.
I hope you enjoyed yours!!
HI! I will be spending my springbreak in Nashville, TN cheering on my son and his high school show choir at the National Championships! We are ranked 10th...GO Findlay First Edition!!!
As a teacher, I really need this break but we can't afford the vacation I want. We've compromised with small family day trips. We plan on driving to the grand canyon, to the ghost town tombstone, and of course a trip to the outlets.
Well as homeschoolers, we took our spring break last month and headed to Florida for warmth and sunshine. Our highlights were our free day at the Magic Kingdom (Disney's give a day, get a day), Sea World, Daytona beach and watching the Olympics for the first time in 10 years (no tv). It was wonderful. Our "other" (and shorter) spring break will be spent watching spring unfold here in Northern MN. Have fun!
My babies don't go to school yet, I didn't even know it was Spring Break. So it'll be same as usual for us. Maybe we'll get started on planting grass in our backyard :)
I am goin to spend my few days of spring brak sewing grass seed and planting flowers in my new yard!!!! I would not plant flowers at our rental house because I didn't want to go off and leave them...but now I have a whole new palate to decorate!!! I can hardly wait :)
I also posted about the giveaway on my blog:

Thanks! :)

Big spring plans include our little one's first Jazz Fest. Looking forward to huge smiles as he boogies and full tummies as we devour the fabulous food!
I don't have spring break but my youngest son is a teacher and he will be visiting us during his spring break. We will have fun playing games, cooking, and taking outdoor excursions. Enough to warm a mother's heart!
Spring Break I'm gonna take my girls to the beach and take some pictures with my canon. I can't wait...and they can...
As soon as it stops raining cats and dogs here, and the ground dries out a bit I'm going to get my garden beds ready for a fresh season of flowers and veggies. My goal this year is to add some fun recycled art to the garden and to make the yard more bird-friendly. Love your necklace design 'our nest'!
Glad to have found your blog!
we are going to head to hershey park for a few days with our 3 kids! any advice on how to stay sane? tht 2 youngest are 23 months and 4 months?!
My kids are not old enough for Spring Break yet - but we are going to welcome Spring with loads of hugs, kisses and trips to the Choo Choo park!
I started today by repainting a toy box for my son! It was given to us but needed a new coat of paint! I plan on painting my bedroom and bathroom this week too! Thanks for the chance to win! Hope you and your family have a great time in Texas!
Kimberly :)
I'm going down to St. Augustine, Florida with my best friend! While we are there we are going to try wind surfing and are going to swim with the manatees :) If I win the giftcard I'm getting her a necklace for being such a great friend for so many years.
I'll be working on being creative in my new house! I'll be painting walls and hanging pictures :)
On one day during Spring Break my best friend Jessica and I are celebrating my 25th birthday by doing 25 things :) She has them all planned out and under lock and key until Thursday! I can't wait!
The beach and snuggling a new niece, it'll be perfect
Spring Break for us is still a few weeks away. We're going to be real creative and do some spring cleaning!!! Family time around the house. Looking forward to it!
I'm going to see the one of the last space shuttle launches!
We WERE going to go to Hawaii but unfortunately we became victims of a not very nice scam with renting a condo there... so now I think it will be camping and much needed alone time with the boyfriend! It lands on our 1 year anniversary!
We are headed to the snow to ski and see all the cousins! Your jewerly is beautiful and I know just what I want to get if I win!
I have a date with sandbagging. we are getting ready to fight major flooding in our town in the next week or so. we were successful last year, hoping for the same this year:-)

I just got laid off. And it has left me feeling a wee bit uneasy; not to mention that my confidence has suffered quite the blow.
So even though I don't technically have a job to take a spring break from, I figure that I will "take a week off" from my jobless melancholy and focus on something positive and happy and lovely: my crafting.
I will spend a week knitting and sewing and creating. I think that the act of creating those beautiful little somethings will help boost my confidence bit by bit.
<3
for spring break this year, i am going to get some scrapbooking done and hangout with my little one and fiance! oh and wedding planning will be taking place too (our wedding is in 12 weeks! ahh!!)
I just left the cold & rainy New York to go relax & celebrate st pattys day at an annual parade in the carribean USVI St Croix! Fun in the sun with friends!!!

I am getting married during this spring break!!!
This spring break will be spent with my 3 beautiful children doing absolutely nothing spectacular. We will relax and cherish our time together before my 4th child arrives in late April.
I am the mom to the most wonderful children and the wife of an amazing husband. We do not get nearly enough time together so this week we are going to see the world through the eyes of the children. We are going to get on the ground and enjoy nature (bugs, growing grass and flowers) and play liek we are kids. What could be better!
We are going to Las Vegas to spend time with the inlaws. It will be our 2 month olds first plane ride. It should be an interesting flight flying with a 18 month old and a 2 month old!!
spring break = hot chocolate (still cold here... boo), movies, playing cars and ordering pizza.
Hmmm, spring break...well it's currently 32 and fat ol' flakes are falling fast. My spring break won't be so "springy". With a 3 year old and 4 week old it will consist of changing diapers, cleaning spit up, wrestling both mentally and physically with the 3 year old, kissing my sweet smelling newborn, and HOPING, just HOPING, I get my den converted to my "sewing" room so I can alas, enjoy some spring fabric!
Over Spring Break, I am going to Las Vegas with my husband to hike in the desert. Can't wait for the get away with him before we bring home child number 4 via adoption!
Planning to do a huge purging/Spring cleaning (I don't have kids...) so that's my idea of fun!
I'll just dream that I am doing something AWESOME on spring break...instead of the root canal I will be having on Tuesday of it!
going to Washington DC to visit family and check out some museums and the zoo! :)

Well, we homeschool and we have no money since we just spent many thousands on a glamorous drainage system hidden under our basement floor...so it wasn't even on my radar that spring break was coming up. Hmmm...so many possibilities, though. We will probably organize closets or maybe clean the garage. Ooh, or we could reorganize the kitchen cupboards. More likely, though, my 5 kids and I will visit our current favorite past-time of building pulley and rope systems between trees in our yard.
Thanks for the giveaway. I'd love to see my kids' names on one of your beautiful necklaces!
Monica
Unfortunately, I'll be working as usual, and trying to be the best mom I can be to my twin boys. :-)
Take my kids to the park to enjoy the sunshine.
Spring Break for me is hoping it doesn't snow here in MN and the sun shines and blooms sprout! Also, am painting my scraproom a terra cotta color as it reminds me of planting flowers for the deck and front in terra cotta planters and painting my tv room periwinkle as it reminds me of lilacs and violets and pansies all in one beautiful mix.
I am going to ask out the boy of my dreams.
I will be working while the kids are on break. Since I work nights I have planned out different activities to do with dad while I sleep. So far I have 3 days of stuff to do...
Day 1...Make homemade playdoh.
Day 2...Shrinky dinks (found some scraps in storage)
and finally on Day 3...Make homemade ice cream.
My husband will be getting back from a special military training class right before our Spring Break - he would have been gone for 5 weeks and since he'll be missing our son's 4th birthday, we plan to hit up Disneyland (only 40 minutes away from us!). My son is having a Mickey party this year and since daddy can't make it, we'll do the "real" thing when he gets back!
My other plans include letting Daddy take care of our boys so I can finally catch up on some sleep!
Crossing my fingers!Thanks!
Mmmmm...no spring break in Aus :( But if I did have one - I think it would involve a road trip with my husband and our puppy dog. Camping under the stars, listening to our favourite music, taking lots of photos and just enjoying some time together.
It's supposed to rain during Spring Break here. We'll be staying inside making homemade crayons from all of our broken crayon pieces. We'll also be putting on our rain boots and raincoats to splash around in the puddles, during the light rain!
We live in MI and are traveling to FL. We are sharing a condo with friends and bringing all the kiddies. Plan on spending time with Grandma one day and spending lots of time at the beaches on the gulf!
I'm enjoying my last Spring Break as a college student by road tripping to Chicago with 9 of my best friends! Yep, I'm leaving my fiance behind and having a week with just the girls! Being the broke college kids that we are, we're on a very tight budget ...but it ends up that Chicago (and Route 66 leading to Chicago) has a lot of VERY random free adventures. For example, did you know that there's a modern day Sistine Chapel ...made with Precious Moments characters? Yep, I'm pretty darn excited about everything this week will hold.
I am going on a cruise with my husband and my family to Mexico. We'll be exploring Mexican ruins, zip-lining through the jungle and catching some sunshine!
I tweeted!

We are heading to Washington DC to visit a college campus & then exploring the amazing sites around the city!
I'm going to be dreaming of a Disney World trip! :) Hope to be the random pic because in reality, we'll just be hanging out and having fun!
We're still deciding, but it's a toss up between Virginia or Universal Studios & Disney. It's a tough choice! The parks are only 45 minutes away, but we dont want our son to miss football by going to VA. Decisions, decisions!
I'm from Israel so no 'Spring break' for us. We do have Passover so there will be a couple of weeks of intensive 'spring cleaning' and then a fantastic family meal which include a compusory minimum of 4 glasses of wine!
It is traditional to share the meal with friends and will be up until past midnight singing holiday songs.

Park days and mud puddles!
I no longer get a spring break, i have joined the real world, but during this week, I plan to sew on a few projects, do some spring cleaning, and celebrate my 23rd b-day...enjoy your vacation..don't get to close to Shamu!!
Have fun! Our spring break doesn't start until the next week, and we are going to spend it at the beach (Oregon coast). My college-aged son and daughter (+ her fabulous boyfriend) will be spending a few nights with us and I will be making them a complete French dinner a la Julia Child (from a recent class I took). If I won a gift certificate, I would use it for something for my beautiful daughter.
Hello! Just found you, and your A-mazing site! We also have 4 kiddos (aged 7, 5, 3 & 1) ...
For Spring Break this year, we're going to do a little Geocaching. We've never done it before, but it sounds like great fun (and a great way to do something family-ish, and free, outdoors, and maybe even educational) ...
Soooo creative, right? ;) Here's hoping ... since I simply must have one of your DARLING pieces of jewelry to showcase my little darlings' names . . .
oh, and I do hope you're having a lovely holiday! ;)

Something fun and different we will be doing this spring break...my daughter and I will be hosting a Pink Party!! All the girls invited wear pink, we eat pink food, drink pink drinks, and have pink themed games, and give a little pink party favor:)
Should be fun!
have a great time. hmmm spring break, we'll go find some spring bunnies and chicks to pet
I am going to Myrtle Beach, SC and them travelig to Beaufort, SC also. I am super pumped to see friends and have great memorie made!
Love your jewelery. Gave a piece to my best friend on her 40th birthday and she started shaking and crying when she saw it. It was a huge hit! Will defnitely be ordering more things from you in the future. Would love to won the gift certficate though to buy something for myself!
My son is only 15 months old so no official spring break for us, however our week will be filled with time spent at the park looking for sticks in the grass and airplanes in the sky. My son just loves immitating planes!
well...we are going to go to one of those hotel/water park places and if the weather is nice we are going to take walks to the park, build some forts and have picnics on the front lawn :)
btw, i saw your ad in the real simple magazine! i've been following your blog for a while so i was like ,"hey, I know The Vintage Pearl!" it was much more exciting than i just described...congratulations!
this is my first try at leaving a comment on a blog, let's hope it brings me good luck. over spring break i will be learning how and felting wool balls with my four year old daughter!
I don't have spring break, but my first grader does! We are planning on fixing up an old dresser with some new paint to go in her room. I can't wait to spend some extra time with her. I think the transition to having a kid in school all day has been hard for me, but she loves it!
Our Spring break will consist of.... pancakes every morning (Mickey Mouse of course!) trying out our new kite, and lots of strolls on beautiful trails!
Sounds like you folks are gearing up for a fun week! We are heading out for our first "to ourselves" vacation (meaning no obligations to anyone to do or be anywhere or anything) in years. We are going to Las Vegas! We're visiting friends who are having a baby soon and making sure we have a grand ol' time :D
going to oahu for a little R&R!!
For spring break I am just going to enjoy time with my daugther, playing outside, going to the zoo, and spending time with family! I can't wait! I would love to win a gift certificate to get the necklace I've had my eye on for a while now! Thanks for the opportunity!
It is not officially spring break in my neck of the woods but it is most definitely spring! We spent yesterday exploring local tide pools.
We are heading to Six Flags - Yay for fun! Here we come!
My kids are little so every week is Spring Break! Ha!
Unfortunately work comes first as much as I would love to stay home and ejoy spring break too!!!
Fun?? I will relish in the fact that I do not have school this week. A break from that will do me some good :)
A little shopping for the nursery that we are getting ready!! And getting to spend several days with my best friends from college. Can't wait!!!
Lots of playing outside in the sunshine (thinking positive)! :) And Candyland and Chutes and Ladders and The Ladybug Game and puzzles...my 4 year old's new obsessions.
I get to go meet my 2 week old new nephew:)
We are going to Colorado for skiing-but the most fun is my daughter and I are going to go Dog sledding!!!!!!! Me!!??? A FLORIDA GIRL!!!!
Spring break - the week before Easter here, will probably see me doing spring cleaning - does that count?
Other than that I'm just hoping for a beautiful sunny week to spend with my hubby and little grands!
Enjoy your spring break!
This spring break, I think I am going to have a baby. :) Due smack dab in the middle of spring break with our 3rd daughter. I can't wait to meet her!
We are headed to see the Mouse in Florida - along with about 60 high schoolers. Wish us luck!
I just love your jewellery!! Thanks for the chance to win.
We're super excited to do lots of bike riding this spring break. Just tweeted about your giveaway!
It is just me and the kiddos at home for march break. We are going to do crafts each day to a different theme. One day we are making pirate hats and eye patches, next day we are doing princess tiaras. We have bird houses to be painted, and I told my girls they can go to my sewing room, and pick out a dress pattern they would like me to make them, and then we are going to go to the fabric shop, where they can pick out their own material, and accessories. I can't wait to see their own designs. Hopefully we'll get a few warmish days here as well, and we can enjoy the outdoors too.
Happy spring break everyone.
It's flooding and icky in South Dakota. So I promised the kids we're having an indoor camp out under the dining room table. Hopefully we can stay busy with crafts and reading together. Wish we were going somewhere warm like some of you!
My LO is too young to have a spring break, so spring break in our house is whenever I decide.
This year it's going to be in May, the week of Mother's Day/my mom's birthday. I'm flying out with my 16 month old to surprise my mom on her birthday. He is the light of her life and she hasn't seen him in months, so it will be so much fun to see her face when we show up on her doorstep :)

We're planning on taking the girls to a much anticipated first trip to the safari! can't wait!
No Spring Break here, but we are enjoying the warm weather and going on lots of walks!
I LOVE your jewelry so much!
Over spring break, my husband and I are going to FINALLY get to celebrate our 15th anniversary for a few nights. I'm excited!
Started off the week by celebrating by youngest's birthday! We are headed to Florida to see my best friend get married on the beach. Time away....
Started off the week by celebrating by youngest's birthday! We are headed to Florida to see my best friend get married on the beach. Time away....
Painting a mural in a local cafe! And squeezing my kiddos! :-)
I will be spending time with my two boys and new little girl at out neighborhood park enjoying the 80 degree weather!!
I am flying to Maryland where I am meeting up with my fiancee (we currently live 1200 miles apart) and we are going to look at, and hopefully find, our first apartment! We are getting married in July after 5 years of dating and 4 years of long distance... I am so excited! And I love your things! I want to get something done with our names and wedding date. :)
Our spring break is still 3 weeks away but we are lucky enough to be heading to Cancun! The hubby has to go for work so we get to tag along. YAY! Can't wait! Can't get enough of your fantastic stuff!
Even though my kiddos are still too young to have an official spring break we are giving in to the spring fever itch and have planned a special week for them! We are going to be going to different parks, museums, the zoo and other kid-friendly attractions and will be participating in activities focusing on the letters of the alphabet (learning about animals, eating food, or making crafts)... hope my boys will have as much fun as I'm planning on having (and have already had during the planning stages of their letter filled fun spring break)!
We are going to celebrate the 6 month mark after my father's kidney transplant - cheers to his new life!
I would love to win.
My mom, my dog and I we all went to the Austin Texas Kite Festival today to kick off our Spring break.

We are going to Vermont to visit family and while we are there we are going to visit a Vermont Sugar House. The kids love maple syrup so they are so excited! Apparently it's sugar season and since we love sugar we are so excited:) Thanks so much for the chance to win. I love your pieces!:)
I'm not being too adventurous since I am 6 months pregnant (last race/jog of the pregnancy today) but I am gonna teach a couple of friends to drive manual on the back roads of our county. We have an old Subaru we plan to get rid of now that winter is over and figure why not? Chicks who can drive stick are sexy and it is a good skill to have.
We only get a couple of days of Spring break... but we will make the most of them.... fun family things... church on Easter Sunday...egg hunts.... lots of fun!
Happy Spring Break! My spring break is in a couple of weeks and I am looking forward to spending the week with my sweet little girl and husband! My special spring break plans are getting my hair done (by myself - a fun rare treat) and having breakfast with my WONDERFUL teammates! I am sure there will also be a trip to the zoo and Children's Museum. I can't wait for the fun to begin!
We are taking our two year old twins to the zoo!! And perhaps leave them there with the Monkeys...I think thats where they would feel the most at home!!
Love your website and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win!!

You are so lucky! I can't wait for Spring Break, we still have a few more weeks untul we get ours.
For Spring break we aren't going to get dressed!!! That is my big, exciting plan. I am looking forward to having my kids home to do whatever we want whenever we want!!! I am already thinking of Summer vacation!
Blogging it now!
I will organize my attic and spend every waking minute with my 6 month old peanut. Can NOT wait!
Is this still open?? We had a gorgeous weekend playing in the sunshine in Colorado...now it feels like more snow. Ugh...
I'm going to turn 41 over spring break and the only thing that could make that more fabulous is to win a $50 gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl!
I recently graduated from law school so I don't get a Spring Break now that I work full-time. But I'm going to enjoy a long weekend with my husband celebrating our 6 year wedding anniversary on Friday. I told him I wanted a Vintage Pearl necklace for an anniversary gift so to win one of the gift cards would be perfect.
We are going to dinner and then to see Alice in Wonderland. Then Saturday I am going to enjoy spending he entire day with my son Benson, just Mom and son time.
I'm spending time at home with my three year old...and i'm hoping for sunny days so much of it can be spent outside!
spring break=completed house projects; lots of sunshine; daytrips to the park, movies, museum, probably mcd's playplace; friends over to play; staying up too late w/hubby (he's a teacher) and wishing i wouldn't have when the kids are up at 7 anyway. Woo Hoo!!!!
Our spring break begins with Good Friday. We will be doing some Easter crafts, enjoying Easter sunrise service and spending time with family.
Spring break isn't for a couple of weeks yet here in the Pacific Northwest, but when it comes we are headed off to the kiddos' grandparents' for a week of serious spoiling.
I am looking forward to spending time with my kids at home. Kind of boring I know, but having gone back to work full time this year means less time with them at home doing nothing but enjoying them grow up...and I just can't wait!

Lots of park days and outside stuff. I live in FL and the weather is in the high 60's/low 70's. Maybe we'll make it to Sea World too, except in Orlando.
I am spending time with my sister who is home from college!!!
We are watching the budget and going to visit my parents who live in the country in East Texas. My three-year-old son loves to play outside with his Grandma and Granddad. He also loves to take walks with them in their pine forest.
i'm heading to the beach with my 2 yr. old and 8 month old and taking pics of the hubby bodyboarding! :)
i'm going to head to the beach with my kids in tow and take pics of my hubby bodyboarding! :)

I am going to hang out outdoors with my two kids. Beautiful weather here in Las Vegas!
my spring break will not be a break, I will spend most of my time procastinating and will work in a research project as well ('that will be done for sure at the end! :) )
I will dream a lot about beautiful places I have been and family and friends gatherings past and news
Well, I'm going to make cupcakes and just smash them into my mouth because there is just no neat way to eat them...so I go all out with that reality!
Thanks so much for the giveaway and have a MARVELOUS break!
We're moving over Spring Break!
I am going to enjoy having all 3 kids home during the day. I hope to have a day with each of my school aged daughters where we can go do something special, just 1 kid at a time.
I will be spending spring break with my children picking out what we want to use the $50 Gift on The Vintage Pearl...what are your initials again kids? heheehe
I am going to tackle my craft room! Geez is that place a mess!

Well, on the agenda this week is lots of coloring actvities, the Nashville Zoo and Adventure Science Museum. I am really excited about taking the girls to the science museum for the first time.
no spring break for us yet.. our children arn't in school yet. But as soon as it gets a little warmer we are gonna spend a great relaxing break in Island Park Idaho. Love that place, camping, day trips to yellowstone etc..
We are going to sleep in EVERY day and have tea parties (with my 4 girls) and soak up the Texas sun in our back yard and eat homemade ice cream out of cones while we walk the neighborhood every night! So much fun!
I don't get a spring break BUT.... I plan to take my 19 month old daughter to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather that has appeared here in Texas!!! (We also plan to do our easter pictures there with her traditional korean outfit!! yeah for toddlers!!!)
Hopefully enjoy the weather outdoors by taking lots of wagon rides.
We are going to see the Stinkycheese Man and other stories at a local theatre putting on a children's production, with puppets. Then I think we are going to spend the rest of the week chillaxin'.
Well I wish I could say we had some wonderful, restful plans for Spring Break but unfortunately I have to work! :( I was a teacher for 6 years and absolutely loved my Spring Break!! I am having complete withdrawals...Oh how I miss thee...

Well, I have to work through spring break, so my consolation prize will be baking a different cake every day... :) hehe
Taking the entire week off to spoil my daughter, her hubby, and my grandchildren that will be visiting from the other side of the country.
Spring break is for Spring cleaning!
I don't get spring break yet so I'll be continuing teaching my special education kiddos, going home and being a mom to my 2-year-old Stella who is now throwing massive fits, and being a wife to my husband who also occasionally throws massive fits :o)
Sorry, I can't be creative... my boss is on vacation, so we in the batcave get to continue working.
Ok, so it's not spring here, but I am having a little break and I am getting ✩✩✩creARTful✩✩✩ :0)
I've been searching and bidding on vintage Kodak Duaflex camera's on ebay...woohoo, I will soon hold in my hands a little box of new exciting possibilities. I'm teaming it with a black box like contraption and my DigitalSLR to capture scenes around our region (if you've seen Baz Luhrmann's 'Australia', you've had a glimpse of parts of my little corner of the world!)
Apparently it's known as Through The Viewfinder~TTV~ technique.

The pic's I have seen have a dreamy vintage look to them and are in a square, 6x6, format and appear to create a vignette around the shot!

It's not all about me though, I'm inviting my 14 year old, 'budding photographer' daughter, along with me so we can have some good old one on one. Mother/Daughter time. Time to chat, to just 'be' together. She's a good photographer, very good, and I love that we share the same passion for photography. She sees it as a potential career and I'm all for encouraging our kids to pursue their dreams. I absolutely can't wait.

Thanks for your generosity Erin.

Unfortunately, I have to work over spring break. But I'm sure we'll watch some movies, play some board games, and make some yummy food. I just hope we can get outside some, too!
Oh the days of spring break.... wishful thinking. I am working, working, working. Wishing I were at home snuggled up with my 2 kids.
Spring Break it's great time for lots and lots of family time. We also have a mini camp out in the Back Yard. Have a wonderful Spring Break!
Some people still get a spring break? I miss school! ;) Our first baby is due at the end of April, so I'll probably just be working on finishing the nursery, cleaning, spending a few last precious moments with my husband. :)
We're going to Memphis Zoo for Spring Break 2010!
Waiting for my sister to return from China with her new 8 month old adopted daughter...I can't wait to meet my 26th niece!!!
I am going to hope for good weather so I can take the kids outside & we can all get diggin' in the flower beds!
We are going to sunny Florida to visit Grammy and Bapar! We'll go to the zoo, the naval aviation museum, the beach, fishing, swimming and lots of other sunny fun!
Start off with a hair appointment for me, Easter photos with REAL bunny rabbits, Lots of time at the park with the dogs, planting seed starters for the garden, and lots of naps and yummy food!
Just ordered MY present and my sisters for Mother's day...I love these so simple and elegant!
No real Spring Break for me. . . The husband took today and tomorrow of work, though (all be it because of having shingles) so that's something different even though he hasn't been doing much besides moaning. :-)Our little getaway will be at the end of March to Branson.

I have 6 teenagers and young adults. Our favorite family activity is to go on a photo scavenger hunt through the neighborhood.
We have a list of random things or scenes that each person (or group) has to capture with their camera, and be the first one done and back at the designated meeting place to win!
It always turns out WAY more fun than it sounds. WE come back with some VERY unique and personal shots.
HAPPY EASTER!

I have nothing creative planned, so I'll have to hope to be the random winner! I have to work, so I will be sneaking out of work early a couple of days, and my daughter and I are going to check out some movies - her pick...
My son kicked off spring break by shaving his head for St. Baldricks(a fundraiser for kids cancer research) So my little bald guy and I will be doing small day trips to places like the zoo, the science center, the glass blowing factory the Louisville bats museum and the Frazier museum...i trip a day :)
My parents are driving over from Idaho, it will be the first time they meet my sweet 8 mo. old baby boy, Jared. As soon as they get here, we'll load up and head to the coast. And the best part-we will be SURPRISING all FOUR of my boys-they don't know about Nana and Papa coming or the trip to the beach! I'm so excited I can barely contain it.
Oh wow..awesome giveaway! I have been eyeing your stuff for a while and have been deciding what to get our kids birthmoms for Mother's Day. I also would love a piece for myself so to win the Giveaway would be a dream come true.
As far as Spring Break...we are having an awesome Princess Birthday party for our girl, leg of lamb for Easter Sunday dinner, and a wild Easter egg hunts in the backyard. Sounds great to me! My hubby also wants to buy our kiddies dyed chicks for Easter(real live ones)...we will see about that!

Hoping to get a lot of spring cleaning done, in the house and the yard. And we're planning to make our first visit to the children's museum with our 14 month old. I think he'll love it!

For spring vacation I left my two sweet babies with my husband and headed to Fairbanks Alaska to visit my best friend. We have visited a glass blowing studio, an international ice sculpting competition, and threw a house warming party at her new home she designed. One more big activity for the week is to go cross country skiing while being pulled behind a sled dog. Between all of these activities, I am trying to finish reading Pride and Prejudice. Oh and the temp. is hovering around 0! I love spring break!
What did I do over Spring Break? Well a few things, but most importantly I finally didn't forget again, and added you to my google reader! I will never miss another Vintage Pearl promo and will FINALLY get my necklaces! Hope your trip was fab!
spending spring break dreaming of actual springtime!
For spring break we are going to have a lot of Mommy and aughetr time, I love those times best.

I just recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years- I was super bummed and called my friend who moved to New York right after college. She called her boss that night and took the week of my spring break off and invited me to stay with her. I've never been to NYC and I can't wait!!!!
