I fully realize that not everyone celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. But I think living near the very Irish city of Chicago combined with marrying someone of Irish heritage has added to the excitement of today. We have been to Ireland quite a few times and it’s fun to celebrate our time there on and around March 17th. We are also hoping to visit this summer so I have all things Irish on the brain! Since you all have expressed you like my past holiday round ups, and in honor of the land of 40 shades of green, I have compiled a St. Patrick’s Day round up of some of our favorite Irish food, crafts, and decor. I also rounded up some fun green outfit inspiration for a casual look, work wear, or a night out.

For the kids, our leprechaun often brings them a little fun breakfast like a box of Lucky Charms, green waffles, or doughnuts. He also dyes their milk green. They like to set a trap, but they haven’t caught him yet!
Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at all? How do you celebrate?
