Weekend Plans

Happy Friday! And Happy St. Patrick's Day! This wintry weekend will be all about holidays here. Friday we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a fun dinner of Shepherd's Pie...our bishop allowed meat on Friday due to it being a feast day...and our traditional Lime Jello Poke Cake for dessert. We will be on the look out for those sneaky leprechauns too!

The remainder of the weekend is free with the exception of Saturday afternoon Mass. I plan on packing up the green and gold, and then bringing out the bunnies! I hope to get the house dusted and clean and then decorate for Easter. Perhaps the pastel colors will offset the snow swirling outside. : )

We will finish the weekend with our family favorite The Spring Baking Championship on Food Network. Have you watched it? If not, you only missed a couple episodes. Once our littlest goes to dreamland, we will watch our other Sunday night favorite, The Walking Dead. And that is that.

The past week  in our country home was filled with food and fun...

My own little leprechaun last weekend before Mass...

She loves holidays as much as I do.

I inherited the love of all things holiday from my dear mother.

She has her table decorated for St. Patrick's Day too!

Sunday evenings during Lent bring a small prayer and a quiet peace to our little family.

My Mocha is all decked out for the holiday too.

If I'm in the kitchen, she's in the kitchen. : )

I always enjoy my coffee and blog reading break...

While a little one plays nearby. : )

We watched this favorite move for the tenth time.

Maleficent is a beautiful story, and Angelina Jolie is amazing.

My Snapchat from Monday night...

We had a little Bachelor Finale party.

Because. Fun.

We didn't get the amount of snow that was predicted...

But it is beautiful all the same.

Did I tell you about the Valentine's gift I got for Steve?

I took the idea from my sister-in-law Beth.

I made a certificate declaring him The Most Amazing Husband and Father Ever.

His prize?

A night out with his amazing wife once a month!

We are finding that having that piece of paper hanging in the kitchen really helps us to make it happen.

Last night we tried a place we hadn't been in years...

And this peanut butter pie?

Heaven.

Hence.

My breakfast today. ; )

Tonight, my littlest had her amazing sister Peyton help her prepare for the leprechauns...

This is why I love this little space here.

It is a place to store precious memories like this.

Have a cozy weekend, my friends.

Thanks for visiting!
