DIY Buckets of Gold for St. Patrick’s Day

3.03.2016

Here's to finding all the gold

Most people expect to find a pot of gold at the end of their rainbows. Me? I just want to find an In N Out cheeseburger, with a side of fries and maybe even a Dr. Pepper. I mean, the fries are golden, so really it could work. I think this is something we should work on. Instead of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a little gold and rainbow project, maybe I should celebrate with French fries and cheeseburgers. It sounds like the best kind of holiday, doesn’t it?

Sigh. But because the rest of you would probably just rather have chocolate, I’ll support you too. I’ll make you little buckets of gold, hide them in your office, and lead you to them with a rainbow or two. I mean, a double rainbow (or a Double-Double from In N Out) is the luckiest of the lucky. If I support you with two rainbows, it must be love. Please respond accordingly.

I found these adorable little white buckets in the wedding section of The Dollar Tree. Yes, they have a wedding section. Don’t be surprised, they literally have everything. I mean, if you can buy a pregnancy test at DT, what can’t you buy? (PS: This is in no way an endorsement to buy a pregnancy test from the DT, unless you plan on appearing on an episode of “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant.”)

Fill your white buckets (three pack for $1) with little pieces of gold candy, print the tag, and gift away. If you’re like me, and want to make it fun, lead your recipient to their treats with a little rainbow. I mean, who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt? Besides, if they don’t work for their chocolate, is it even fun? A little effort can go a long way. And I’ll be over here waiting for my cheeseburger.

I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. The Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. They need more boredom. More freedom. More outside time. More chances to build a world out of sticks and dirt instead of asking for the next new thing.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.

Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet Something I tell my little girls all the time, yet wish most grown women understood too. I see so many adults actively TRYING to fit in…work, church, neighborhood, sports, etc. 

You shouldn’t have to try. If you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s not right. For you, or for them. Your tribe will come along, I promise you. Even if that tribe is one person, it’ll be better than a hundred women who just don’t get you.
