I'm not one for fruity candy, so "taste the rainbow" never sounded like such a good thing to me. But now, as the mom of a preschooler and a school-aged kid, I have a new appreciation for the appeal of all those rainbow recipes and rainbo…
If you're one of those parents who can answer any question without saying let's go check the internet! like I do, then more power to you. As for me, I was researching the story of the real St. Patrick's Day to help explain it to my kids,…
With so much uncertainty around us right now, I understand that many of us may be feeling pretty determined to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with the kids as normally as possible. . .especially since we now have SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER with …

We're willing ourselves out of this snowstorm to focus on sunshine and pots of gold at the end of rainbows on St. Patrick's Day. I searched through our favorite craft and blogger sites to find the most fun and easy rainbow crafts for kid…
To help your kids celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, you could bake pans and pans of soda bread, or painstakingly place leprechaun prints around the house...or you could download some free St. Patrick's Day printables to add to lunch…
If you want to amp up your March Madness schedule this week, or you happen to be combining a watching party with a St. Patrick's Day celebration, may we suggest some beer cocktails? (No coincidence they're both the same week, say beer an…
You know what they say: If you're lucky enough to be Irish, then you're lucky enough. Yet on St. Patrick's Day, we couldn't resist posting about his adorable little wishbone lucky charm from one of our favorite indie jewelry companies, J…
While a ton of kids and babies are going to end up with "Kiss me I'm Irish" shirts today, we thought we'd take a slightly different tack and track down some cool kids' t-shirts featuring some of our favorite Irish rock bands. Because St.…
I will not get into the ingredient list on Lucky Charms cereal because, well. Yeah. But, hey, no judgments. I'm not one of those no-sugar-ever-moms. And once in a while, for a special occasion like, say, St. Patrick's Day, I can totally …
As we all know, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, so even my family dons the green and plays some jigs on March 17th. And though we don't go crazy decorating our house with shamrocks or setting up leprechaun traps, there are plenty…
St. Patrick’s Day falls on a weekday this year which means it’s time to get festive with your kid's bento box . (How's that for a super specific column for you? St. Patrick's Day Bento Lunches.) Don’t worry: You don’t need a PhD in craft…

I've been carrying a deep dark secret since childhood (and yes, Cool Moms, I'm revealing myself here and now): this organic mama has a weakness for sugary cereals. I cannot be left alone with a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I'm the one p…
My idea of a St. Patrick's Day craft is squirting green food coloring into anything edible and calling it a day. I love looking at all the amazing multi-layered rainbow treats and hand-felted shamrock garlands on Pinterest , personally, …
I may put a few drops of food coloring into tonight's frosty beverage of choice, but otherwise, the only green beer you'll catch me drinking will be from those innovative brewers who are keeping the environment in mind as they craft thei…
I have always loved pretty much everything at KLT:Works . Kristin Loffer Theiss makes the beautiful artwork, plush, nursery decor and apparel that just makes you smile in every way. And I'm smiling even more since discovering that for St…
With my mother-in-law the faithful member of her local Irish Club who makes Irish Potatoes from scratch every year, you can bet we're pretty big on the Saint Patrick's Day celebration. But while I might slug the green beer and and chow d…
St Patrick's day treats don't exactly inspire me the way say, Halloween or Valentine's Day treats do. And frankly, some of them just plain freak me out. (I'm looking at you, Shamrock Shake.) So leave it to our friends at The Nibble to po…
This St. Patrick's Day, instead of wearing the green plastic crap my quarter-Irish mother insists on sending us in the mail every year, we're celebrating by hauling out the wonderful children's book, Fiona's Luck . The story by Teresa Ba…
Let's be honest: St. Patrick's Day is a pretty boozy holiday, at least here in the states. Given that a (small) Skinnygirl margarita can get me buzzed, I'll probably skip drinking on St. Patrick's Day and instead opt for one of these 6 o…
It's the time of year that many in certain frozen dessert circles call Shamrock Shake season. March and St. Patrick's Day mean the end of a year-long wait for devotees of the green shake. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan. Not because …
