Happy St. Patty’s Day!

March 17, 2018 by Kristina Baldwin

Green Krispy Kreme Donut

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! How did you celebrate? This was the first year that my kids didn’t make any leprechaun traps–so no shenanigans occurred in our home.

Over the years, I’ve posted several ideas–from pranks to treats–on how to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with kids.
