Are you getting excited for St. Patrick's Day? Now that the pinks and reds have been cleared from stores all over the country, the green has started its infestation. As a young girl, I usually tried to catch leprechauns in homemade traps. I must say, some of my traps were pretty ingenious, but I still have yet to capture one!

Irish Fun for Families
by Anna P. February 18th, 2010 | Craft, Party Ideas, St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day is actually a feast day celebrating one of Ireland's most prominent saints. People from most English-speaking nations (mainly in Ireland and the United States) celebrate this distinctly Irish holiday. But you don't have to be of Irish descent, or even religious, to take part in a St. Paddy's Day celebration, as this is a good time to have some quality family fun.
Tasty Food and Drinks
Green colored cakes, pies, and cookies are always a great option, but don't be afraid to think outside the box! Try Irish soda bread or toffee shortbread, both of which are

Mardi Gras Parties
by Jaclyn Abergas February 16th, 2010 | Party Ideas
Decided to have a Mardi Gras-themed party for adults? What do you need to set up the party?
Decor
First things first, remember to use only three colors: purple, green and gold. Decorate the place with masks, beads, confetti, streamers, all in these three colors. Even the invitations, whether in paper or e-vite, must be represented in purple, green and gold. If you're serving food, make sure the table cloth, plates, utensils and cups are these colors. And if you're handing out party favors, make sure it's in the spirit of the Mardi Gras party, too, so be sure to include

Snow Painting
by Michele February 11th, 2010 | Craft, Valentine's Day
With all of the snow that has covered the east coast, it seems most appropriate to share a fun outdoor craft- snow painting! All you need for this project is a spray bottle, water, food coloring, and snow. While it can be an any day craft, it also can be used for holiday fun. Living in New England, I have used this craft (sadly) for Easter, St. Patrick's Day, and more.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it would be the perfect time to try this project with a little red food coloring and some creativity!
