HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Carli

St. Patrick's Day..Green Grub

Leprechauns visit our house and leave a little green behind (along with a scavenger hunt of goodies). A little creativity & some green food coloring can go along way! Green milk, shamrock peppers, green noodles (just add the colors to the water & boil noodles as normal), green jello, etc. So many ideas. Wish I could do green eggs & ham, love that book, but kids are allergic to eggs (and I don't like them), but a fun idea none the less. Happy St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day Decor

I am not one for over the top plastic shamrock decor. This year I went with natural green themed decor, moss (love the different colors & textures), sticks, etc. (all free thanks to my brothers property!). I would post pics, but our camera is with my husband at work, so no pics of what we did, our camera is awful anyways, new camera coming soon-whoo hooo! (any recommendations?). My kids & I went on a nature hike and gathered moss, sticks & such and built leprechaun house terrariums in large glass jars. I think the leprechaums will be making their appearance in the next few days, kids are hoping to catch one! They even built a ladder out of sticks (okay, i had to build for them it was a bit harder than my overly creative & ambitious 3 & 6 year old could handle!). The leprechaun visits our house, how about yours? It is really fun and considering it is probably the last "believing" year for Abby, I am tring to milk it all I can; 1 more Christmas-please!!!!

While working on our Thanksgiving plans (we are hosting this year!), I realized it is quickly approaching, I know we haven't yet even reached Halloween, but the few weeks in between seem to come and go so quickly. Our family loves to "experiment" and share new recipes at the holidays. We even host an annual Thanksgiving bake-off. This year the guys are doing it!! I think I shall make a back up or 2, just in case! I created 2 different printable recipe cards (2 sided) so you can share your recipes with friends & family this Thanksgiving.

Many thanks to my customers. Enjoy, Carli
