Fun March Madness Ideas

It’s March, and time for SPRING!  Yay! I can’t wait.  I absolutely love this time of year when the weather is turning warm (ish – lol) and it’s basketball season!  Whoot – whoot!  I will admit that I am not a lover of watching basketball, but I know my hubby likes it so I make sure to be with him during the March Madness season!  Last year, he even got me to fill out a bracket and compete against him and some family members.  Needless to say I ended up last (I guess that’s what I get for picking teams that have high rankings or their name sounded cool {WINK}), but it was a blast to participate in.  Anyway, I thought that this year we could have fun doing some fun March Madness activities.
