St. Patrick's Day Ideas: Keep Calm and Pinch On
Wednesday, as I was hurried taking down our Christmas tree (shaddup, I know, I know) before a play date so I could actually open my front blinds from the shame of judging neighborly eyes, I thought it might be nice to celebrate the next holiday... on time.
Valentine's is out. Missed that bus. Well I did try to make up for it later on that day. I made it up to the kids with this when they came home:
As for that awesome husband of mine who made my day special, I knew exactly what would put a smile on his face:
So back to the next holiday, that leaves either Dr. Suess Day--a day which my 4th grader tried to assure me today was an actual holiday so he did not have school. Riiight this mom happens to know Dr. Suess's birthday is in two weeks.
Orrrr...St. Patrick's Day. A day, even with a maiden name of Murphy, I have never fully celebrated in my true, over the top, Martha Stewart crazy style. This style is otherwise known as my house is a catastrophe, so I need some seasonal decor to distract visitors.
So, I move to the subject matter expert website on all things over the top I like to callmamacrack Pinterest and, oh my, the inspiration:
So, my friends? What will be the next holiday you celebrate with your family? Send me some ideas!!!

Yep, a bacon bouquet!

I'm sure Amanda would appreciate proper credit on her Shamrock cake... http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker/2010/03/st-pattys-day-cake.html
Let's do green eggs and ham for dinner on March 2, Dr Suess' birthday. And I have a recipe for green eggs and ham deviled eggs.
And maybe to keep it whimsical, we can have a blue drink, too!
Thanks for pointing that out! I should have checked Pinterest link to make sure it was attributed properly. So frustrating to realize you can't trust people to pin correctly. Will go fix the link now.
