St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope everyone is wearing green and enjoying the day. If you're looking for ideas to help the kids celebrate without corned beef and cabbage, try these fun St. Patrick's Day Activities. Hope you have a wonderful week...QCB is enjoying a rainy and cool spring break at the beach :-(, but it's a change of scenery and new memory making time, so I'll take it!

Blessings,
