Spring Break!

I know it's not spring break for all of you, but CMS and most preschools are out this week, so I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Already over the thought of your kids being home for over a week? Hope we can help by providing our weekly list of "to-do"s (the fun kind of "to-do"s, of course). Have something in the coming weeks or months that we should add to the list? Please email any and all events to queencitybuzz@gmail.com. Make the most of this week...these kids will be out of our homes before we know it!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
