st patty’s day & favorite things


Ephraim says, “Happy St, Patty’s Day!”


We’ve been in the green spirit this weekend.

We made some shamrock shakes by stirring up a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with milk, green food coloring, and a drop or two of mint extract. So delicious!


When I woke up yesterday, Steve surprised me with green pancakes. :)


And he made Nolan a shamrock! I was so impressed!
 

Also today, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika to share a couple of my favorite things under $10 :)


I saw a 25% off deal on BathandBodyWorks.com and snatched up a few of these sweet-smelling spring scented soaps. I love their cute new packaging in short & stout bottles. Individually, they’re $6.50, but you can get 4 for $18 or 6 for $24. I love that scent brings back memories so vividly. When I smell “Sweet Pea”, I think of my late sister Hannah. When I smell, “Vanilla Berry Sorbet”, I remember the summer that Nolan was born.

 
My other new favorite thing is this water bottle that I found at Walmart the other night for around $8. I wanted a glass water bottle (I find plastic starts to smell after a while). I like the pink rubber grip on the outside, and the rubber cork.

Hope today brings you lots of luck and gold and such ;)
