This March, why not start some new family traditions that will bring joy and togetherness for years to come? Whether you stay at home or explore the Liberty Hill community, there’s plenty to do that will make this spring unforgettable.
1. Gardening Together: Cultivate Joy and Growth
Spring is the season of growth, so why not get your hands dirty and start a family garden? Whether it’s a small herb patch on your patio or a full vegetable garden in your yard, gardening is a fantastic way to teach kids about nature and responsibility. At Lariat, many homes have spacious yards perfect for planting. Get creative with colorful flowers or focus on fruits and vegetables you can enjoy together later.
Make it a family tradition by planting something new every March. Consider visiting local nurseries in Liberty Hill for native plants that thrive in our Texas climate. Kids will love picking out seeds and seeing their efforts bloom as the weeks go by.
2. Spring Picnic in the Great Outdoors
There’s nothing like a picnic to celebrate spring. Pack up a basket with your favorite snacks, sandwiches, and refreshing drinks, and head to one of Liberty Hill’s beautiful parks. Veterans Memorial Park is a great spot to spread out a blanket and enjoy the day with family.
For residents of Lariat, the community’s green spaces offer convenient picnic areas right at your doorstep. Add some fun to your outing with outdoor games like frisbee, soccer, or kite flying. Making it a monthly tradition during springtime will give everyone something to look forward to.
3. Crafting Spring-Themed Decorations
Unleash your creativity with some spring-themed arts and crafts. Gather your family and make decorations that brighten up your home. Think colorful paper flowers, bunny garlands, or egg-shaped ornaments. These DIY projects are not only fun but also a great way to bond with your kids.
You can also organize a family art night and create a seasonal centerpiece for your dining table. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out local craft stores in Liberty Hill or nearby areas for materials and ideas.
4. Explore Local Farmers' Markets
Spring is synonymous with fresh produce and local flavors. Take a family trip to a nearby farmers' market and explore the vibrant stalls filled with fruits, vegetables, and artisanal goods. Places like The Market LHTX and Lakeline Farmers Market are a fun way to teach kids about seasonal foods and support local vendors.
Consider turning your farmers' market finds into a family cooking adventure back home. Choose a new recipe to try each March and enjoy the delicious results together.
As the evenings get warmer, bring the magic of the big screen to your backyard. Set up an outdoor movie night with a portable projector, comfy seating, and plenty of popcorn. Choose a family-friendly movie or a spring-themed classic to keep everyone entertained.
At Lariat, the sense of community means you could even invite neighbors over to join the fun. This could easily become a monthly tradition during the spring months, creating lasting memories under the stars.
Liberty Hill and the surrounding areas are buzzing with activities in March. Keep an eye out for local events such as spring festivals, art fairs, and live music performances. These gatherings are a wonderful way to connect with the community and make family outings extra special.
For instance, check out any wildflower tours or nature walks that highlight Texas’ famous bluebonnets. Not only will you get some fresh air, but you’ll also capture Instagram-worthy family photos!
Why not take advantage of spring’s slower pace to dive into some good reads? Start a family book club where everyone picks a book to read and discuss together. Choose books with spring themes or stories set in nature to match the season’s vibe.
Create a cozy reading nook in your home or take your books outside to Lariat’s community spaces. This tradition encourages a love for reading and brings the family together over shared stories.
Document your spring adventures and family traditions with photos. Spend a day snapping pictures of your activities, from gardening to picnicking, and turn them into a digital or physical album. This yearly tradition will serve as a wonderful keepsake and a way to reflect on how your family grows and changes each year.
Starting new traditions in spring is all about celebrating the season and spending quality time with your loved ones. At Lariat, our community provides the perfect backdrop for creating these cherished moments. Whether you’re planting flowers in your yard, enjoying a picnic under the Texas sun, or exploring Liberty Hill’s local charm, there’s no shortage of ways to make this March unforgettable.
