St. Patrick's Day is a lot of fun. It's a good excuse to dye random foods green, give out colorful candy and blame unfortunate happenings on those pesky leprechauns. The last few years, my cousin has had some of us over for some Guinness and corned beef - it's a good time! This coming Monday, that is where you'll find me! If you aren't sure how to take advantage of this random holiday, I've collected a few ideas I've found around the internet that I thought were fun. If I had kids, unlimited resources or tons of time on my hands I think I'd do all of them. As this is not the case, I hope you might enjoy one or two of them! (Follow the links below to get the instructions/recipes, and/or to pin the images.)

So cute! I'll have to try that cocktail. Those rainbows with 'gold' at the end were pretty adorable, too. Thanks for sharing!

What a shame! I didn't consider that they don't have St. Patrick's Day in Sweden - after all, you're a lot closer to Ireland than we are here in the US. You can always decide to wear green that day to celebrate, Hanna! :)
