Elegant Easter Tables

Easter just happens to be one of my favorite holiday's to decorate for. I love to pull out the bright happy spring colors when the outside world is waking up from it's long winter nap. Spring is also a time of new birth and growth of flowers and tree blossoms, and while it is fun to watch it all outside, it is even better to bring some of it inside.

How to catch a Leprechaun!

 

Tis the season you know, of the mischievous little green kind. You know, those little green men that like to come out at night and mess things up. Always making a mess and leaving behind proof that they were there. Well if your kids are like most kids then they probably get really excited and want to catch one. I know that my boys would love that!

Well here is a few tried and proven ways to catch those sneaky little buggers. I am personally a fan of the old box with a stick contraption. I haven't any luck catching one, but came close once!

St Patrick Activities For Kids

I think that it should be St Patrick's Day everyday! I mean, who wouldn't like to see all of the bright rainbows and happy colors? Well now you can see all of those things when you help your kids create some of these cute crafts that are just for kids! I am not going to lie though, I think that the play dough and the telescope caught my eye. I guess that I am still a kid at heart. :) 

St Patty's Day Kid Friendly Treats!

 Celebrating holiday's with kids is fun especially when you get to get creative in the kitchen. Plus what kid doesn't love when their food looks like something else? My kids favorite is when I turn the pancake batter a different color. They love taking turns choosing which color they will be. We tend to have more pink and purple then any other color.
