Letโs see...besides the usual spring activities that Iโm sure weโre all excited about like getting outdoors, getting some vitamin D, hiking, exploring, etc., one thing I really enjoy about March is St. Patrickโs Day! Growing up, my Ma always told us we were Irish on her side. (Turns out, thanks to 23andme, we discovered most of her ancestors were actually from just across the way in the UK). Nevertheless, she always went all out for St. Patrickโs Day, including decorations that would usually pop up the day the Valentineโs ones came down, food, drink, and pinching on the day of if we didnโt come out of our rooms in green attire as kids. And we were merciless about it too. ๐ค

Nowadays, itโs just a fun day and excuse to wear my Guinness shirt, make Irish soda bread from scratch (if youโve never made it before, itโs SO GOOD), and eat corned beef til I can eat no more.
