I try and write these prompts with broad themes/concepts in mind and think that personal interpretation is key. You can certainly approach a prompt literally, or I encourage you to think about it in a different way ... take a creative approach on ways to apply prompts so that they'll work for your family. Here's a bit of extra information on a few of this month's challenges to help you get started :
#3: Rainy Days and Mondays...
This one could be interpreted in several different ways...
You could scrap about rainy days... gloomy days that get you down... the beauty of renewal and growth that rain brings... how rainstorms make you feel, or what you might do as a family on rainy/dreary days. You could also scrap about your schedule on Mondays... how you start off the week... your contempt for Mondays...
#5: Photography Challenge: Splash / Puddles...
Scrap about splashing in the bath, making a splash in a body of water, splashing about in rain puddles. Or Umbrellas and galoshes! You could also feature the after photos of playing in puddles. What about mud puddles!
#8: National Library Week...
Scrap about a trip to the library, or story time, or independent reading. Scrap about a favorite book, author, or series. Scrap about what everyone is currently reading. Activities you participate in at your local/school library. Meet the Author visits!
#9: Participate in the SSD Blog Scraplift posted on April 1st...
On the first Sunday of each month, Sugarbabe Kim B. hosts a Scraplift challenge on the SSD Blog.
You have the entire month to play along and complete your page.
#11: Pay it Forward - Leave Love on 15 Gallery Pages...
You leave love on 15 layouts in the gallery and then post the link to each in your tracker thread.

#13: Contribute...
Scrap about how you or your family contributes to your community, or a cause that is meaningful, or an event/activity/group that you're a patron of. You could also scrap about how each family member contributes to your household or how someones contributions into a relationship help it to grow. There are so many ways this prompt could be interpreted and look forward to seeing your take on it.
#14: Make Yourself a Priority...
This could be a page about how everyone needs a bit of alone time and some space to themselves. You could scrap about anything you or a loved one does that re-energizes you/them, makes you/them feel special, or gives you/them a moment to breathe and regroup.
