irish day!


happy st. patrick's day!!!

one of my family's favorite holidays! growing up with a name like "shannon shea," st. patrick's day is another major holiday in my home!  

some things i assumed growing up irish:
- not wearing green on march 17th is a sin
- every house eats corned beef and cabbage for st. patty's day
- st. patrick's day is like thanksgiving...there are always leftovers for the days to come...corned beef sandwich, hash browns and corned beef, stew, etc.
- it is normal to have a kitchen with 4+ crock-pots cooking corned beef and cabbage
- everyone loves potatoes!

"For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day"


 May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing
