I love the idea of listening to spring-inspired music – adding that to my list now!

You’ve inspired me to make these lists and I’ve encouraged a friend to do the same! She got her 3 girls involved to make their fun list and she said it brought a lot of joy to them all. 🙂

A few spring-themed favourites: ‘Primavera’ from Piazzolla’s Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (Four seasons of Buenos Aires), Beethoven’s ‘Spring Sonata’ (violin sonata op. 24), and Schubert’s Lied ‘Im FrĂĽhling’. Greetings from autumnal New Zealand 🙂

@Maha – I think 300 pieces is a good starting point. I’ve done a lot of Crocodile Creek 200-piece puzzles (which the older kids have gotten as gifts over the years) and they are doable in an hour or so yet still feel satisfying. Maybe will whet your appetite for more!

We are planning for a road trip with the kids (after we watched The Goofy Movie” few weeks ago, we were itching for a roadtrip. We are going to small town with a beach and then going up and see how it goes. I’m also planning to reared the babysitter club series (the original ones) you intrigued me with puzzles, but I’m still intimidated by it. I want to do an easy one (300 pieces) then try harder ones.

I also have lovely memories of Keukenhof. I’m dying to get to Holland Ridge, too, but not sure it will happen this year. However, I’ve been ordering the tulip surprise boxes! They are only $20 for two dozen — a great gift for everyone I know who is having a birthday — and they are gorgeous.
