It was truly a random act of mail that did it’s job to cheer them up during a time of sadness. Today I’m sharing yet another coordinated gift basket I put together – this time it’s a green Bucket O' Luck! A green bucket of luck is just as it states – a collection of green or luck themed items sent at random to help make someone’s day. I luckily (no pun intended) has a bunch of items from a recent St. Patrick's Day themed shoot! Instead of a box, this time around I used a cheap plastic green bucket to hold everything together. To dress it up a bit I designed this wrap to add on front. What’s inside this green bucket o' luck: Leprechaun paper cups St. Patrick's Day hanging Green paper fan Green alien stickers (because they were cute!) Green sequin boxtie Sunglasses and St. Patrick's Day themed sunglasses Party hats Gold favor boxes filled ... Continue Reading...

To learn more, please review my disclosure policy here. The everyday photos of kids hanging out around the house doing their daily routine or being silly are great, but consider throwing some photoshoots at home around seasonal holidays to take advantage of all the holiday goodies out there! Here's one sweet and simple St Patrick's Day photoshoot you can try at home with your toddlers! Among the few part time jobs I have, being a contributor for a party supply company is one of my favorites. I recently was assigned a St. Patrick's Day party and had so much fun shopping their site for the perfect party materials, playing around with my home accessories to stage it, and putting together a fun party setup for a St. Patrick's Day pre-parade breakfast party. You can find more detailed shots and links to all the party accessory items seen on the blog post I wrote up for Birthday in a box here. But meanwhile after I put away the majority of the party setup, all that remained was the gold metallic curtain and some paper fans. Insert two active toddlers who ... Continue Reading...

It was up to this creative mommy to come up with a few entertaining ideas. Just like my 10 Ideas to Entertain A Toddler in Winter post said, arts and crafts are a popular activity in our home! It was time for a St. Patrick's Day themed fingerpaint activity! We grabbed our favorite Crayola Washable Fingerpaints, some paper, a green pipe cleaner (not shown above) and our beloved roll of Con-Tact Brand Clear Covering Self-Adhesive Liner and got to work. Miss Brielle donned her favorite black t-shirt turned smock, rocked two baby buns and got to work spreading that paint with her favorite two finger method. It was a beautiful array of greens and oranges and she loved every minute of it. After letting her four paintings dry, I cut into a heart shape and arranged them like a four leaf clover on a sticky sheet of the Con-Tact paper. I added the pipe cleaner then peeled and applied a second layer on ... Continue Reading...
