The Mom Memo No. 62: All About the Green
Hey Mama
This week we are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the whole family! We are incorporating festive foods into our day like green eggs and ham sandwiches and green smoothies. Then, we’ll be flexing our creative muscles by writing silly limericks about leprechauns. Lastly, we’ll craft a cunning leprechaun trap using everyday items – who knows, we might just catch a lucky one! How are you celebrating? We want to know!
