Luck of the Irish!

Fat Tuesday

Fat TuesdayToday is Fat Tuesday and the Mardi Gras celebrations are in full swing.  I’m sure beads and feathered boas are flying everywhere!  Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday marking the beginning of the 40 day season of Lent.  Easter Sunday will be here before you know it!

Celebrate St Patrick's DayHowever, between now and Easter we do have a little holiday called St Patrick’s Day, you might have heard of it?  I love St Patrick’s Day!  Between the parades, the parties and the celebrations it’s one heck of a fun holiday!  Bring on the Leprechauns, shamrocks and green beer!  St Patrick’s Day is next Thursday, March 17th and whether your Irish or not, head on out and celebrate!  Your corner pubs will probably be serving Irish food, playing Irish music and of course serving green beer!

Don’t forget to dress the part this St Patrick’s Day!   HalloweenExpress.com has everything you need from your luck of the Irish hats to deluxe Leprechaun costumes.  Surprise your friends and show up decked out as a little piece of Irish folklore!

It’s Mardi Gras Time – Let The Parties Begin!

It’s that time of year again when New Orleans comes alive with Mardi Gras!  This year Carnival started on January 6th, but the heaviest partying is still to come and will take place the few days before Fat Tuesday, March 8th. 

With a Mardi Gras costume you can bet you’ll be the hit of the party.  The more sequins and feathers the better.  To make your party one to remember decorate in Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.

Us everyday folk aren’t the only jesters to partake in a little Mardi Gras fun, even the Hollywood celebrities love Carnival!

100th Day Of School Fun!

School Bus

School BusChristmas break is over and the school’s are back in full swing.  Another thing that is in full swing is this crazy winter weather!  Wow can you believe all the snow that’s falling all over the country?  Here in the Midwest we’re getting another round of the white stuff and it’s coming down strong.  So even though school is back in session, some children are getting plenty of snow days added to their schedule.  I know my children love snow days, but they don’t like the part about making up the days at the end of the school year. 

One thing young kids like about school is all the classroom holiday parties.  February has a few holidays coming up where they’ll get to have party’s in school - Valentine’s Day, President’s Day and Groundhogs Day.  Another fun day in February that a lot of schools celebrate is the “100th day of school” day.  It’s a big deal to some elementary schools and they make it a fun day for the children with lots of games, crafts and fun!

February is the Month of Love!

Best Friends Forever Childs Costume

The most romantic holiday of the year is by far, February 14th Valentine’s Day!   A day for couples everywhere to shower their significant other with flowers, candy, cards and romantic getaways.

Valentine’s Day is also a big day for marriage proposals.  With love in the air, the popular question, ”Will you marry me?” is heard loud and clear by men of all ages across the country.  With so much romance going around it’s not hard to believe the the most famous of Valentine symbols is of course, the infamous Cupid, the Roman God of Love.

Best Friends Forever Childs CostumeWhat makes Valentine’s Day so special is that all ages get into the spirit of the holiday from children to adults.  Children have party’s at school where they make special Valentine boxes and exchange Valentine’s Day cards.  It’s so much fun to watch my children pick out just the right cards for their friends at school.  You have everything from Sponge Bob to Justin Bieber Valentine’s Day cards for kids to choose from.  HalloweenExpress.com even has a kids costume that two children can wear.  It’s a BFF (Best Friends Forever) styrofoam heart that is separated down the middle. 

It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day costume for my daughter Olivia and her best friend, Savanna.

Well we made it through the Christmas holiday and now we’re heading straight into the biggest party holiday of the year, New Years Eve! Everybody is making plans for which parties to go to, which dinners to attend and which friends you want to spend the last day of the year with. If you’re past that “party” all night stage then sitting at home with a nice bottle of wine watching the ball drop on tv is the perfect place for you. However, there’s nothing like a wild and crazy costume party on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to the old and welcome in the new year with family and friends!

Ring in the new year dressed as your favorite Hollywood star, a character from your favortie movie or perhaps even a superhero. The possibilities are endless! Make a political statement and dress up as a president (past or present). There’s plenty of crazy politicians out there that you could dress up as. Take the humorous route and portray a famous sports figure that made headlines this year…Tiger Woods instantly comes to mind!

Be the life of the party and try out a sexy costume from Halloween Express! Make the guys notice and the girls jealous by making this a New Year’s Eve party to remember! And don’t forget the accessories…never underestimate the power of a mask and cape!
