Erin Go Organic
While I have seen a pint of Guiness served as a three course meal, you might want to consider some other options for your St. Patty’s Day fare.
Even If You Have to Work, They Can Still Play On The Drum All Day
It is common knowledge that the toy drum is the arch nemesis of all mothers. No self-loving mom would ever give another mother any type of musical instrument, let alone an awful drum and mallet combo – those are traditionally the mother-in-law or friends-sans-kids kind of gifts.

The Kind of Softy You’ll Thank Me For Later
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house.
