4 Easy St. Patrick's Day Traditions

Whether you are really Irish or not, it's fun to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Green milk, a magical trail from a Leprechaun, and a few rainbow surprises... these are a few of our family's favorite St. Patrick's Day traditions. Because when you have kids in your house, it's nice to do things just for fun. Life can be so serious-- lighten it up with a sparkly rainbow or funny socks. You don't even have to be 'crafty' or spend a lot of money. (Don't let Pinterest make you feel overwhelmed!)
These sweet little traditions are easy to do and will make for happy memories years down the road.

1. Rainbow cupcakes- mix up your favorite white cake box mix and then divide the batter into small bowls. Add food coloring and blend. Then layer the colors in the muffin cup and bake.

2. Green pancakes with green milk :)

3. A Leprechaun Visit-- leave a trail of shamrocks for your kiddos to follow. Don't forget to leave a treat under the rainbow.

4. Rainbow Socks- These were brought to the girls from the Leprechaun last year. (He may have bought them at Walmart.)

Does your family do anything fun for St. Patrick's Day?

A Wee Bit Irish: Green Pancakes & Rainbow Socks

A little Leprechaun came to our house early this morning. He woke up when it was dark and after a quick trip to the "Leprechaun Walmart", he visited our home. Truth be told, the little Leprechaun was hesitant to celebrate such a silly holiday. My goodness! St. Patrick's Day gifts?!

But something softened that hard little green heart. And he ended up leaving a trail of green, glittery shamrocks from the girls rooms all the way downstairs. The girls followed them to a crudely drawn rainbow, where underneath was a treasure. A green sack for each girl, filled with rainbow tic-tacs, rainbow socks, stickers, markers, and a rainbow dress.

Are you Irish?

I guess everyone gets to be a little bit Irish when March rolls around. When I was little, my mom always put green food dye in the milk. I loved it!

Now that I'm 'the mom', I plan on continuing a tradition we started last year-- rainbow cupcakes and a little 'leprechaun' treasure hunt.

Luck of the Irish

Although my husband is Irish, I have to admit that I don't have any St. Patty's Day decor.

St. Patty's Burlap Pillow found here

But since it does fall during our Spring Break, I will be trying a few of these cute ideas this week. Do we really need a better excuse to make cupcakes?!
