HAPPY ST. PATRICK"S DAY!Wondering how to celebrate this holiday during a time of encouraged self-isolation? First, be sure you're getting fresh air. If you're not going outside, at least open some windows. Fresh air and sunlight are a natural disinfectant. Some educational and fun holiday ideas include:
- Streaming Irish jigs and songs.
- Watching traditional Irish dance on YouTube or chrome cast to your TV.
- Adding green food dye to your short bread cookie recipes.
- Sewing or gluing crazy Green Irish hats, ties or belts using felt, ribbons, or fabrics.
- Cooking Irish Stew, scones and clotted cream or butter from scratch or from cans.
- Telling Irish fables about leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold, or gnomes.
- Reminding your children about the “kiss of the blarney” and the folkloric tradition known today as “the gift of the gab”.
- Research the real St. Patrick.
Below are some additional activities I recommend for you and your family to keep the isolation from getting to you. If you have any additional suggestions, please leave them in the comments.

- As volunteers die down at local animal shelters because everyone is in quarantine, you might consider giving a rescue animal a little vacation in your home so you can teach your kids about pet ownership. Most animal shelters appreciate temporary fosters because it lessens the strain, especially during a crisis. Just be sure to get an animal that has a good track record around kids and never leave kids unsupervised.
