Four years at Notre Dame teaches you a few things.  God. Country. Notre Dame is a strictly held mantra for life… and St. Patrick’s Day comes second in celebration only to Christmas!  So of course I HAD to host this week’s It’s Friday, We’re In Love featuring all things green, rainbow and shamrocks! And while now with three kids 4 and under I may celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a bit differently than I did in my green beer guzzling college days, it must still be celebrated.  Here’s 100+ St. Patrick’s Day activities, crafts, fun food ideas and more to paint the town green for St. Patty’s Day!
