11 ways to leap into Leap Day

 

Check these out, too...

  • 5 cinchy ways to celebrate Cinco de Mayo
  • Get your draw on with the prettiest coloring book of the season
  • 10 ways to rock it this spring
  • 25 things to do before school lets out
  • 10-minute DIYs to dress up your bedroom
We’re sooo close to spring, we can practically feel the sunshine and smell the flowers! If you’re going a li’l stir crazy as winter draws to a close, take advantage of Leap Day with these pretty ridiculous (but, come on, totally fun) ideas to let your inner wild child run free. After all, it only comes once every four years.

 

Throw a trick on a trampoline

 

Grab a group of girls and guys, sit down in a circle and play “Down by the banks of the hanky panky.”

 

Find a bucket of chalk and play a game of hopscotch

 

Do a set of 10 frog jumps (or jump squats)

 

Watch Amy Adams in Leap Year

 

Dig up two jump ropes and a few friends, and go double-dutch

 

Raining? Rock your rainboots and go puddle jumping

 

Play leapfrog with your sibs

 

Do a late-winter Polar Bear Plunge. Bonus points if you can raise money for charity!

 

Head over to a local elementary school or park and play four-square

 

Impromptu dance party! Be sure to add “Shout” and “Cha Cha Slide” to your playlist.

 

What are you doing for Leap Day?

It always takes me sooo long to do my hw!!! Like hours every night, i dont know what im doing rong, no one else in my class takes this long, and the stuff isnt hard for me. I dont know where the time goes!!! PLease help! fast!

 

Hey girl! It sounds like you are very thorough when you are doing your homework--which is a good thing! If you want to try to cut down on time, I'd suggest doing your homework in an area where you can be completely focused. Do you have siblings that bother you while you're doing your work at home? Maybe try going to the library where you won't be interrupted. Eliminate all distractions, like your cellphone, TV, and computer (unless you are doing your homework on it!). Set a goal time for yourself; if you normally finish your homework in three hours, set a goal to finish in two and a half hours this week (and then make it two hours next week). 

 

Just remember that everyone learns and works at their own pace. My sister and I are taking a class together right now and we just had a test. She finished in 20 minutes and I finished in an hour! We ended up getting the same grade on the test, she just finished before I did. There's nothing wrong with that!

My best friend is changing schools because she's moving closer to where I live but pretty faraway from school. I really don't want her to leave, but she said that she has to Frown. I have to be by myself at school, because in my class everybody is separated in groups, and I always stayed with my best friend. And my friend also made me join these clubs but now I'm stuck in them by myself while my friend can just easily leave school. I can also go change schools and go with her because it's near my house and we could walk together to and from school. But, I really like the class I'm in and it's the last year of elementary so I want to stay there with the whole class till the last day, but my bff isn't going to be there. What should I do??

 

I think if you wanna stay at this school a lot then do it. You may need to branch out and find new people to hang out with. Try meeting new people at your clubs etc. If you put yourself out there im sure youll make new friends. xoxo kerra

Lately my mom and I have been fighting a lot. I really try to make her happy, but it seems like I'm always doing something wrong. Forgetting to pick up my stuff, being ungrateful.... the list goes on and one. I really wanna be able to get a long with her. Any adwice?

 

Well sometimes its hard to live up to your parents high standards, but as long as you learn from your mistakes youll get better. Also if she tells you to pick up your stuff dont let it turn into a fight, just say "im sorry i forgot to" and do it right that second. Dont talk back and just do what she says. She'll appreciate the initiative. xoxo kerra

Ok this is kinda embarassing but its been a problem for awhile now. my underarms sweat...ALOT. ok so like i can normally cover it up with a jacket but the winter's almost over so i'm scared what i'm gonna do when it gets hot! i only have a few shirts that the sweat doesn't show thru...and i've noticed it really only happens at school or when i'm hanging out with people. idk if like i should tell my mom or if there is anything i can do to stop it. help?!




Hey girlie,

No worries! We have a few articles about excessive sweating that I think could really help ya! And after you try all our suggestions, don't forget that talking to your doc about it could really help ya solve this problem <3

We got a blizzard today... but we never really get spring because it's always melty and slushy until may, and we're by a river so we have yearly flooding. We only have 3 seasons Smile
