7 St. Patrick's Day Crafts for Kids

St. Patrick's Day may be the most overlooked holiday in my home. Well, there's Arbor Day and Groundhog Day...but, do those count? I should probably care more about Arbor Day. Trees give us oxygen. We need oxygen to survive. I digress.

I like to think of myself as a pretty crafty mom. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids. I LOVE to hang their art up around our home. I was once told that my house looked more like a daycare than a home because of all of my kid's art. And to that I think to myself, that's okay. My kids LOVE seeing their art hanging on the four walls that are their safe place. {Do you hang your kid's art? In one place or all over?}

This year I plan to do more St. Patty's Day crafts! Today I've gathered 7 St. Patrick's Day Crafts that you and your kiddos can do together. I love each one of them for a different reason. But, my favorite is probably the last one. You'll see why!

/1/ Toilet Paper Roll Leprechauns - There's something about his yarn beard that caught my eye. I can't wait to make these with my kiddos!

/2/ Eraser-Stamped St Patrick's Day Tee - Did you know you can use freezer paper to create cute tees?? You totally can! This tutorial shows you how.

/3/ 5-Minute Rainbow Bracelet - McKinley LOVES making and wearing {and gifting} jewelry. This bracelet would be perfect for every little girl. And her friends.

/4/ Cereal Box Leprechaun Hat - These hats will be cute on your St. Patty's Day table OR you can use them as favor bags. The glitter buckle is my favorite!

/5/ Fruit Loop Craft - Remember when crafts were simple? A piece of paper and some dry cereal? Some days I like to do those kinds of crafts with the kids. Simpler days, I tell ya.

/6/ Mail a Rainbow - The original idea is for party invitations. But, who wouldn't want to receive a rainbow in the mail? Snail mail, for the WIN!

/7/ Mickey and Minnie St Patrick's Day Headbands - Headed to Walt Disney World or Disneyland this month?? Make these cute ears before you head out!

Do you do crafts for St. Patrick's Day? I'd love to see. Share a link in the comments!

A First Look at Emily Blunt in Disney's Mary Poppins Returns

I am beyond excited to share with you the first glimpse of Golden Globe® winner Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in MARY POPPINS RETURNS, the all new sequel to Disney’s 1964 film MARY POPPINS.  

This is a sequel, friends, NOT a remake of the film we grew up watching. Keep reading. 

Directed and produced by Rob Marshall, MARY POPPINS RETURNS also stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer and Julie Walters with Colin Firth and Meryl Streep.

The film, which introduces three new Banks children, played by Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and newcomer Joel Dawson, also features Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. The film is set in 1930s depression-era London (the time period of the original novels) and is drawn from the wealth of material in PL Travers’ additional seven books. In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep). The film is produced by Marshall, John DeLuca and Marc Platt. The screenplay is by David Magee based on The Mary Poppins Stories by PL Travers with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman writing all new songs and Shaiman composing an original score.

MARY POPPINS RETURNS will be released in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2018!

Who's excited? I know I am!!

The most anticipated film of 2017 is coming soon. March 17. That's only 23 days away, y'all! Who's ready? My kids ask me every day if it's in theaters yet. Mabry, my 3-year-old asked me today, "Peez, can we go to Booty an da Beas? Peez?" She's as excited as the big kids!

The amazing events team at Disney Social Media Moms gave us an eight minute sneak peek of the film. You guys, it's breathtaking! Emma Watson is a perfect Belle. Luke Evans as Gaston is a swoon-worthy match. And, how about Josh Gad as Lefou? I have to admit, when I close my eyes, I see/hear Olaf. But, Josh is a hoot, and he plays this role histarically!
