Going Green for Lily 💚

Today, March 17th, is St. Patrick's Day.... it's the day after Lily was born. One of two days in this world I held her. The day I left the hospital with an empty carseat a few keepsakes, instead of my newborn baby girl. Shamrocks and the green associated with this holiday will always remind me of her... green for new life. How appropriate considering that's what she brought me. 💚

This is a Shamrock made out of Lily's sweet footprints. I found it on Etsy. :)

I am rockin' my St. Patrick's Day green for my mid-March girl. Found this for only a couple dollars at "The One Spot" at Target. Custom handprint necklace is from My Forever Child (can't recommend highly enough!)

Lily's spot went green!

From BreAnna for my mid-March girl.

St. Patrick's Day pillow, also from "The One Spot."

When Stores Turn Green 🍀

I know Lily's birthday is getting close when the stores start turning green. When St. Patrick's Day items stock the shelves, I know March 17th is nearly here, and that means Lily's birthday, March 16th is too. That holiday and the color associated with it will always remind me of Lily, as it was one of two days in this world I held her, and the day I left the hospital without her. 🍀

I recently noticed this cute shirt walking by the children's section at Target. If Lily were here, I'd imagine she would like St. Patrick's Day, with her birthday being the day before, and that she'd like to wear St. Patrick's Day things. I also imagine her being a crazy cat lady in the making, like her mommy was a crazy cat kid too. This shirt would have been perfect for her. :)

I'm not one for sugary cereal, but when I saw this at the grocery store last night, I just had to get it because it reminded me of my mid-March baby girl.
