With Maggie's Farm on our minds, and spring in the air, we wanted to give you a sneak peek into April.   We'll be taking a mid month break from our regular Win A Disc Wednesdays to run a big spring break feature on Eco-Orlando.    We'll be posting our Florida adventures as they unfold on ChiIL Mama/ChiIL Travel Kids and also on ChiIL Out at Chicago Parent.   That said, we won't leave our music lovin' families jonsin'.   Here's what you can look forward to in April.
