This St. Patrick’s Day was one for the books!
We celebrated with family, good food, and lots of laughs.
The kids had a blast building leprechaun traps!
They were convinced they were going to be catching one later that night.
They also spent time outdoors soaking up the sunshine, driving their remove control cars and visiting the chickens.
Later we used the Ninja Slushi to make our favorite treat—homemade shamrock shakes (minty, creamy perfection).
It was one of those simple, joy-filled days that reminds me how much I love my Irish roots and the traditions we’ve created together.
Celebrating as a family, making memories, and just enjoying each other’s company is what it’s all about.
I’m so thankful for my Irish roots—and even more thankful for this wild, wonderful family of mine!
And speaking of enjoying life…
Weekly Wins
This week’s win?
I made the decision to take the summer off from classes—and honestly, it feels amazing.
After juggling a full schedule, I’m giving myself permission to actually enjoy summer break like a normal person—hello sunshine, slower days, and maybe even a book that’s not for school.
I can’t wait to soak up every minute of it!
Here’s to choosing rest and making space for joy.
Favorite Find
Okay, I had to share this one—my new favorite hair tool: the Air Flow Styler Curler!
It’s dropped to just $21 with a clippable coupon and extra savings at checkout.
It’s the only curler I’ve found that gives me waves that actually last all day—no hairspray needed—and it smooths out flyaways beautifully.
I shared a video here of how I use mine to get my hair done every day in like ten minutes.
The air flow helps set the curls and cuts down on heat damage too. Total game-changer!
What I’m Watching/Reading/Listening to:
I’ve been diving into Luke in the Land by Kristi McLelland, and it’s been such a rich, eye-opening study.
She brings the Gospel of Luke to life by exploring it through a Middle Eastern lens with real videos, helping me see Jesus’ ministry in its full cultural and historical context.
It’s deepening my understanding of Scripture and showing me just how compassionate and intentional Jesus was in every interaction.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fresh perspective on the life of Jesus.
That’s a little peek into our week—full of fun, small wins, and meaningful moments.
I’m so thankful for the joy in the everyday and the chance to slow down, reflect, and share it with you.
Wishing you a restful weekend and a fresh start to the week ahead.
Thanks for being here!
