Just a quick post to wish all dads and dads-to-be a happy and relaxing Father’s Day!

Today is St. Patrick’s Day. You may have more luck finding a leprechaun than a McDonald’s Shamrock Milkshake (they seem to sell out (?) of these every year), which is why we’re posting a recipe for you to make your own. Enjoy!

McDonald’s Shamrock Milkshake

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 ¼ cups 2% lowfat milk
¼ teaspoon mint extract
8 drops green food coloring

Directions

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend on high until smooth. If needed, stop blender and stir with a spoon to help blend in ice cream. Makes 2 servings.

How are you spending the day?

We’re busy creating a cupcake photo birthday party invitation. Once we’re finished, we’ll post it on the blog and in the gallery.

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday?

History.com gives a very thorough explanation of the holiday and it’s true meaning.

Enjoy the day!

Whaa huh?

A decade or so ago (geeez) my wife and I used to go to a hibachi style Japanese restaraunt. They had great food and drinks that were always topped with Cocktail Monkeys.

Hostess with the Mostess has done it again, she found the perfect addition to your holiday entertaining extra. They’re cute, colorful, won’t mess your couch and may bring a bit of good luck. Thanks HWTM!

Meckmom brings us FREE Christmas planners that make it easy to budget and plan the precious weeks before Christmas. There’s even a gift planner!

For the paperless, digital crowd GiftBox let’s you track your gift buying and receiving. It also lets you create wish lists you can e-mail to friends and family and keep track of what needs to be returned. I wonder if they could make an organizer for recycled gifts and the art of regifting.
