Flower Mound+ MacKid Moms love March. Why? March is one of those in-between months. It's a transition month from winter to spring. That makes it one of my favorites. All over DFW, we see bluebonnets popping up. The days are warm but not super hot so we can take the kiddos to the park, the Dallas Zoo, and other outdoor places.
But the change of seasons isn't all that's happening in March. Here are 10 other holidays, events, and observances your family can celebrate or learn more about in March:
Read Across America Day
Many schools celebrate Read Across America Day each year. You can celebrate at home too by visiting your local library or reading together as a family. Need some book suggestions? Check out these books suggested by the National Education Association, which celebrate an array of experiences and cultures. March 2
International Women's Day
International Women's Day is a global day to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while also marking a call to action for gender parity. Mark the day by celebrating women's achievements, raising awareness about women's equality, or fundraising for women-focused charities. We have some here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, like Loreto House and W2W in Denton. Loreto House is going to open it's second location here in Flower Mound!
March is also Women's History Month. March 8
Daylight Saving Time
It's time to spring forward! That means you set your clocks ahead an hour, which means the sun sets at a later hour, which means ... summer is on its way! We are not sure if that is something we, Flower Mound MacKid Moms, should be excited for LOL our Dallas/Fort Worth summer are brutal but we got amazing indoor places to visit, like Thrive in Lewisville, which makes it much better.
March 12
Pi Day
Celebrate ... with pie, of course! We have more than 3.14 ideas on how to celebrate Pi Day, all of which are sure to add up to a totally happy family (see what we did there?) March 14

World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day is observed on the 21st day of the 3rd month of each year to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome causing Down syndrome. On this day, people with Down syndrome, along with their families and friends, participate in activities and events to raise public awareness and advocate for people with Down syndrome. You can start at home by helping your child learn to embrace differences in all. March 21
