Looking back at the past month, A lot of fun things were going on. The day or two of warmer temperatures sprinkled in were a nice touch. I can’t wait for more warmth in April. Ash Wednesday Lent started, which brought us back to attending church regularly. Connor got ashes twice, once at school and…
The simple ways I added festivity to the day. These ideas can be used from year to year at little cost and effort. St. Patrick’s isn’t a big holiday for us, but the kids get excited about our traditions. The big event of the day is the gold coin hunt. The leprechaun came into our…
