Full of Blarney!

Today for St. Patrick’s day, Justin made us breakfast.  He created green eggs, (regular) bacon, & green pancakes.  As I sat down, and commented on the pancakes, he said, they are even shamrocks!  And, they were!  He is adorable to do that!  There must be some Irish in that man after all! 

Evie especially loved the milk magically turned green!

We had a st. patrick’s party with Justin’s family.  I took pictures of the centerpiece I was putting together, but never took an actual picture of it on the table!!  UGH!

Anyway, I took glass jars, applied mod podge and rolled them in gold glitter.  I then snipped greenery from my front yard and put it in the glass jars.  I also have ivy growing in my front yard, and so I placed the jars on a white tray and wrapped the ivy around the base of the jars. 

I used a total of 5 jars for the centerpiece.

Funeral Flowers

This month, 2 of my uncles on my mom’s side passed away within 2 weeks of each other.  Both were old and had lived wonderful lives.  It was a fun reunion as a result!  I loved seeing my beloved cousins and talking with them.  It was also wonderful to hear the beautiful words my cousins expressed during the funeral about their fathers.  They were amazing men, and I know my mom adored each of them.  The second funeral was close enough that I could deliver the flowers for it from the nieces/nephews and my mom & her siblings.  It was an honor to put these together to celebrate their life!

While there, I snapped this photo of my mom and her only remaining sibling (out of 7).  This is her older sister.  I love this picture of them!
