Backyard Family Living

Housework extends beyond the indoors. When spring arrives, outdoor living comes alive, making patios, flower beds, and lawns busy spaces. However, tidying up around the outside of the house often takes a back seat on the to-do list.

Since a clean and inviting patio and backyard are essential for enjoying outdoor activities, why not involve the kids in outdoor chores and cleanup? This way, everyone can fully enjoy the joys of outdoor living.

The kids can help with gardening, yard work, and many of the chores that help keep the great outdoors looking its best. 

From cleaning patio furniture and garden ideas to identifying good garden bugs and bad garden insects and gardening with kids, the backyard family living articles below can help get things growing.
