St Patrick's Day Ideas and A Little Bird Told Me Link Party

12:01:00 AM

It's getting close to St. Patrick's Day and that brings out the Irish in everyone. The closest I get to having Blarney in me is a little bit of Scotch Irish (not the same, I know), but my husband is proud of his Irish heritage, and we definitely have 3 little leprechauns who live in my house, full of Irish mischief.

If you're in the mood to celebrate St. Patricks Day, you should check out these Irish ideas - no need to kiss the Blarney Stone to get you in the mood!

Amazing Spring Recipes and A Little Bird Told Me Link Party

12:00:00 AM

Are you ready to party this week? I've been enjoying the warmer temperatures, and I'm definitely looking forward to spring...and that means I'm looking forward to spring-like food. So this week's features include some recipes that make me think of those warmer temps, even when the weather is acting more like a yoyo than anything.

I'm also going to go ahead and apologize right now for being out of sight for the past couple of weeks. My husband's father has been ill for the past year and he passed 2 weeks ago. We had to suddenly drop everything (my husband was out of the country at the time!) and make our way down to Mississippi where they live. And then, last week, I was on my way back by myself with 3 kids in tow when I would normally be working on my link party features! Anyways, here are the features...I selected these features based on links from the past few weeks.

With winter in its dull humdrum stage when everyone is wondering when spring will be coming, and Valentine's Day around the corner, I thought we could all use some pampering gift ideas to lift us up! These gifts are perfect for a "just because" gift or even a special occasion (like the one coming next week, hint, hint.

I really loved all of these ideas - they range in difficulty from the simple and complex, and should cover a wide range of interests for your loved one!
