St. Patrick's Day Themed Breakfast & Scavenger Hunt

Hero_650
Every year I surprise my kids with a St. Patrick's Day Breakfast AND Scavenger Hunt! How did this start you may ask? Well, I have a little troll doll that has a St. Patrick's Day outfit and we've come to call him Leprechaun Nickel. Every year, he is the one that brings the sugary breakfast goodies and clues for the hunt! 

One year my daughter even lost him at the City Museum in St. Louis and I had to quickly order another one on Amazon Prime! ;) I want to thank Oriental Trading for supplying the party favors AND scavenger hunt prizes! Yay!


LeprechaunNickel1
Let me introduce you to Leprechaun Nickel.


PlateSetting
I set up a breakfast for each kid... Us adults just get the leftovers! lol! Every year I do something a little different and I have a lot of items I've kept and reuse over the years, such as the headband and also metal tin you see the popcorn in. The green table cloth, polka dotted napkin and rainbow plates really made this plate setting colorful and fun!


This Years St. Patrick's Day Breakfast
Food1
Green Milk with a clover leaf straw


Food6
I used the clover leaf straw again and added powdered donuts to it.


Food3
Chocolate Lucky Charms (I think this is new!)


Food2
Green Jell-O and even some sliced up bananas in a tiny St. Patrick's Day mug.


Food4
Buttered popcorn with green sprinkles!

After the kids are done eating, we then start our St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt!


St. Patrick's Day Scavenger Hunt
Clue1
I leave a pot of gold on the breakfast table with the first clue.


Clue2 Clue3
Then the kids follow the clues to get to the next clues. I change these cards up every year to make it interesting. I've had the kids go downstairs, in the garage and even outside to find more clues. I usually add a little inexpensive prize with each clue. Here you'll see glitter clover tattoos and light up batons.


Clue4 Clue5
As you'll see, Oriental Trading has a lot of really nice prizes such as these kick balls and even rubber ducks!


Clue6 Clue7
My daughter will love these St. Patrick's Day bears and the last clue has the kids go on a hunt to find gold coins that I have hidden in a room (or sometimes even outside!).


St. Patrick's Day Craft
CraftThe last couple of years I have even added a craft for the kids to do after the scavenger hunt. This year I selected a simple pin and bead craft from Oriental Trading.

I hope you have some fun ideas on how to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at home with your children. If you're looking for some inexpensive St. Patrick's Day party supplies or prizes, be sure to check out Oriental Trading!

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Monogrammed Tulip Wreath w/ Burlap Bow {12 Months of Wreaths}

Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths! Hi everyone! Welcome back to our third month of 12 Months of Wreaths! I have been seeing a lot of tulip wreaths lately and I wanted to try my hand at making one myself. Wow, this wreath looks complicated, but it has been one of my quicker wreaths that I have made. I kept it simple, with a burlap bow on one side with tulip buds cascading out on both sides. I also added a script monogram 'A' to the other side. The tulip buds are already starting to pop up in my yard, so this wreath couldn't have been made at a more perfect time! Welcome to 12 Months of Wreaths - March!
