I kinda had a Mom fail this morning. You see, I’m known to be a Holiday Whore. Taking Holidays a little overboard is my thang. This year, not so much. Watching Instagram stories this morning made me feel like I failed. Not really! All the Leprechaun traps. Green toilet bowls. Foot prints. Festive snacks. I was THAT mom.
Honestly, I felt like my teenager was over all my over-the-top Holiday themed goodies. Turns out, she’s not. I think when you become accustomed to treats each Holiday, you actually look forward to them.
Thank god for Target Shipt. Ha! I had ALL THE THINGS green delivered to our doorstep to assembly St. Patrick’s Day green baskets. One for my girl and a couple more for our nephews.
Instantly I felt festive + happy AF! I LIVE for this stuff. And I can’t wait to drop off some Leprechaun cheer to my peeps.
I you too didn’t get all crazy this morning, don’t even trip. YOU ARE A GOOD MOM! A GREAT MOM! But, damn – social media sure can make you feel like you’re not for a hot one.
If you have a box of lucky charms. A stick of butter. And a bag of marshmallows. I got you!
Some St. Patrick’s Day from the archives…..
They’re like a rice krispy treats, but extra sweet. Just how all the kids like them, right?

Here’s what you’ll need:
- 11 cups Lucky Charms Cereal
- 16 oz jet-puffed marshmallows
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Here’s what you’ll do:
Coat a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in marshmallows until completely melted.
Remove from heat and stir in Lucky Charms.
Press mixture into prepared baking pan. I like to use a piece of parchment paper to lay over the top and press with my hands.
Allow to cool, if you can 🙂
ENJOY!
I don’t eat sugary cereal, like ever. And I definitely snuck a few of these. They are pretty damn good.
Remember, you can print the recipe. “Pin” to your Pinterest board for safe keeping. If you decide to give it a shot, pretty please – tag me. Text me. I can’t wait to hear what you think!! 100% makes my day ♥
