The knowledge that spring is right around the corner (we still have snow on the ground where I live) has me itching for lighter reads. I have two GREAT recommendations for you below. But the darker, more twisted books just didn’t do it for me this month.

Rainbow Birthday Party

My daughter’s birthday is in March which is the perfect time to throw a rainbow birthday party since St. Patrick’s Day makes all things rainbow even easier to find than normal. We incorporated the rainbow theme into the party decorations, food, dessert, and favor bags. See below for inspiration and links.

You’ll find free printables below to help you create your own spring bucket list.

I got some great reading in this month. I’ve found that my optimal reading situation is to have one book I’m reading on my Kindle and one book that I’m listening to on Audible. Switching back and forth is not a problem, especially if the books are very different. Read my four new book reviews below to see if there are any that pique your interest.

Movies to Watch on St. Patrick’s Day

I used to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by “running” a .5K (yes you read that right) which earned you a cup to fill up at numerous local bars.

If you too are celebrating at home this year might I suggest some delicious Irish food and a romantic Irish movie. Here are three of my favorite movies to watch on St. Patrick’s Day.
