Rain or Shine Have Some Family Fun

Many states including Lexington, Kentucky; Lynchburg, Virginia; and Asheville, Raleigh and Wilmington, North Carolina; are among the other cities where 2018 became the wettest year on record.

Sunshowers will mostly happen in the spring and summer. With the air rising in some areas clouds and showers arrive. If your parent you know all about the rain that has the children staying indoors and driving mom slightly insane especially hearing “I’m bored” over and over again. Spring gives us the perfect reason to plan for a weekend getaway or plan some fun activities with the whole family right at home. Lifestyle and travel expert, Julie Loffredi will share her favorite family-friendly activities to kick start the fun, rain or shine!

"I'm always ready for an adventure and lots of families are going to be planning their next getaway," said Loffredi. "According to Booking.com some budget friendly destinations to consider are Boston , Phoenix andBiloxi, great for families and easy on the wallet. Also, the site is offering some popular Easter deals with 20 percent off worldwide until May 6th plus 24/7 customer service comes in so handy especially when planning your next getaway."

It is raining and pouring and hear those words echo ‘imp bored.” So how do we keep them entertained? “New toys and activities are a must and your little fashionista will have a blast with these oh so glam collectable mannequin dolls from Spin Master,” suggests Loffredi. “My daughter loves these. Off the Hook dolls can be styled from head to toe. There are six levels of customization. You can mix and match their hairstyles, their tops, bottoms, shoes with these easy hook together designs and accessories too. You can opt for the style doll or a BFF doll and share them with friends. There are three collections to choose from; the spring dance, concert collection and summer vaca. So plenty of ways to keep the kids busy.”
