13 {Lucky} Ideas for St. Patrick's Day

Pin It St. Patrick's Day is rapidly approaching!!  After Maia went to bed, I sat and thought about just how soon it is!  I started to wonder what (if anything!) I was going to do to celebrate.  I'm not Irish, but everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day…right?!?

When I was teaching, I would plan each holiday in advance.  I knew exactly what I was going to do and I made sure everything was prepared.  I really miss that!!  Maia's not old enough to appreciate most of this yet, but I don't want to get 'stale' or out of practice!  I wanted to share with you 13 ideas that I found while surfing the web.  If you're at a loss for how to celebrate or want some new inspiration, here you go!
