What Every St. Patrick's Day Party Needs


Julia had more up her sleeve though when she invited Grandma and Grandpa over on Saturday. She welcomed them with a sign: WELCOME TO OUR ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARTY
 

She served rainbow sprinkle pretzels, rainbow cupcakes
 
 Irish beef stew, St. Patrick's Day Punch, rainbow goldfish, sour cream & onion potato chips, ham & cheese sandwiches, & I picked up some Irish Amber & some Guinness earlier in the day. Grandma brought a yummy fruit platter to round out our meal.
 

She just eats up this party planning stuff and she's only five! 





We played hot potato using a Youtube video of Irish Music on my phone. The kids loved this game and it was as simple as heating a potato in the oven for a few minutes and searching for music on youtube.

 

Then it was time for the scavenger hunt.
 

The purple shamrock led them to Sam's backpack where they found the pot of gold. I was so proud of Sam for sharing the candy without being prompted. 




By the time the sun set we'd had a wonderful party. Most of the decorations Julia made were indoors but the weather was so warm we ended up spending the evening outside.






I may only have a pinch of Irish blood in me but I sure felt like the luckiest girl in the world by the end of the night!


How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year?

    Great party! It was nice to be able to spend the afternoon/evening out side.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
