Don’t know what to do for spring break? That means it’s time to decide how you really want to spend that time off: planning and prepping for a week-long getaway someplace far away, or catching your breath with a few relaxing days at home with your family?
If 2025 has been a busy year for you (or if saving money is top of mind), you’ll likely opt for the latter. But there’s no reason a staycation can’t be as inspired as a destination trip. In fact, there are ways to make it more wholesome than you might expect.
In this podcast episode of Smart Living with Grit and Grace, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender explain how a distraction-free staycation can strengthen your bond with your kids and keep them inspired. We’ll let you in on a little secret: You have to let them be bored. But don’t worry—Darlene and Julie list off more than a dozen memorable activities that will keep your kids entertained all day and maybe even spark a new hobby along the way.
Spend a little downtime at home or hit up some local attractions with these recommendations, and you’ll make this spring break one your kids will never forget.
