Little People

This title refers to leprechauns and the cute toys from Fisher-Price.  All of my kids love to play with this and it reminds me to watch a St. Patty's parade, or listen to Celtic music, or check out some fancy footwork of Irish dancing!

To Pinch or not to Pinch

Keep your kids in the green and safe from pinchy fingers.
 
 

Kiss Me

Kiss me, I'm Irish!  On St. Patrick's Day everyone is Irish!

March = Shamrocks!

March is the perfect time to look for clovers.  The 3-leaf ones are a great symbol for the godhead.  The 4-leaf ones are lucky, because you are included with the godhead!  Love these cute ones I saw on:

This Shamrock/Irish map banner is too cute:
 
(Other March themes could be Spring and don't forget Daylight Savings Time- we should always save daylight, ha ha!)

Valentine Media We Love

Every holiday we bust out our Charlie Brown DVDs.  When we're living overseas they help me teach my kids "American" culture (smile).

Probably my favorite kids book, EVER.

But this one is a close second!

Little People Sweet Valentine

I think I love Little People as much as my kids (if not more, ha ha!).  Seriously, ALL of my kids play with our holiday sets- the big ones and the lil ones.  It makes my heart happy.
 

Valentine Desserts

My kids LOVE pancakes and these doodle hearts are just adorable!
 

I want to make these colorful heart cookies, then write little messages on them with red gel frosting to turn them into yummy conversation hearts (because we all know the coversation hearts candy is yucky, ha ha!).
 

I can eat chocolate covered strawberries anyday, but for some reason they make me think of Valentine's Day.  These are so pretty too!
 

Strawberry flavored anything is good, but brownies- oh my these look really good!
 

Cupcakes are my favorite and these white and pink clouds look so cute and tasty!
 

This cake looks to die for.  I think this is the one I'll be making for my family this year!
 

To me Teddy Bears also mean Valentine's Day.  This Bear cake is so cute for the kids, but I think I'll put some eyes on him too, ha ha!
