My common sense tells me it's pretty easy, just buy some beer and green food coloring and drink up LOL! According to <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Green-Beer">wikiHow</a> my common sense is right, but they also offer these tips:<br /><ul><li>It may be a bit difficult to add food coloring to a beer. Try adding a few drops to an empty glass or mug and then add the beer.</li><li>Try to purchase lighter ale, as dark beer, such as Guinness, will make it harder for the food coloring to be noticeable.</li><li>Perhaps put fewer drops of blue coloring, as beer is generally a yellow color. This is not confirmed to work, but is worth a try.</li></ul>So there you have it my friends, Green Beer! ... <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/peaceloveandyou/6486287">and here I have a super cute shirt for you to wear on St. Patrick's Day!</a><br /><br />Rock On!<br />~Ann~<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26522007-9010101602942146549?l=owenandemma.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~Ann~http://www.blogger.com/profile/13890949308193352948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522007.post-18237338487646257932009-02-14T07:44:00.003-07:002009-02-14T07:54:36.286-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SZbZ31czH_I/AAAAAAAAAI4/KTzc1fQVFwY/s1600-h/stpats.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SZbZ31czH_I/AAAAAAAAAI4/KTzc1fQVFwY/s320/stpats.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302665164539240434" border="0" /></a><br />So whatever, St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner! I remember in college we would go to parties and there would be green beer. How exactly did they get the beer to turn green. I probably don't want to know, do I?<br /><br />Now that I far past my college days, I wonder who exactly is St. Patrick anyway? and why do we celebrate him?<br /><br />A quick trip over to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick">wikipedia </a>and I learned that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. He was a captured slave who later returned to Ireland and worked as a missionary.<br /><br />In other exciting news, his birth name is rather stunning: <b>Maewyn. </b>I think that who make a beautiful name for a little girl. You could call her Mae or Maeve for short. <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/owenandemma.358070195">Anywho, here is a super duper cute baby onesie for your little wee one to wear on St. Patrick's day!</a><br /><br />Rock on!<br />~Ann~<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26522007-1823733848764625793?l=owenandemma.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~Ann~http://www.blogger.com/profile/13890949308193352948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522007.post-17539671562011756302008-09-19T06:10:00.003-06:002008-09-19T06:17:43.232-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SNOXp0C5ApI/AAAAAAAAAEg/mG4qaY9CT1Y/s1600-h/growupsarah.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SNOXp0C5ApI/AAAAAAAAAEg/mG4qaY9CT1Y/s320/growupsarah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247704735417959058" border="0" /></a><br />Hello!<br /><br />My goodness!

I have many wonderful girlfriends whom I can discuss (laugh, cry, yell, scream, whatever) being a wife and mother with, but I find that it's difficult for my family and friends to understand my desire to grow my business and all the pitfalls and joys that entails.<br /><br />The good news is that the internet is full of wonderful resources for women entrepreneurs. This weekend while fretting over how to find new, creative ways to market my business, I can across this website: <a href="http://www.mompreneursonline.com/">http://www.mompreneursonline.com/<br /></a>.<br /><br />WHOA! A quick look at the first page and I felt like I was a five year old let loose in a candy store! There are <a href="http://www.mompreneursonline.com/phpBB2/index.php">Forums</a> to connect with other women business owners, and occasional <a href="http://www.mompreneursonline.com/mparticles.htm">business articles</a> that certainly can provide you with ideas and inspiration. <br /><br />I truly enjoyed my look around the Mompreneurs website and plan to use it as one resource to help fuel my own online business.<br /><br />Rock on!<br />~Ann~<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26522007-513058896004714975?l=owenandemma.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>~Ann~http://www.blogger.com/profile/13890949308193352948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26522007.post-4442834757535662322008-05-26T14:42:00.002-06:002008-05-26T14:44:20.873-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SDshG0AhNxI/AAAAAAAAAAY/2_allenmHV0/s1600-h/ravioli1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8wvEYAiKk5I/SDshG0AhNxI/AAAAAAAAAAY/2_allenmHV0/s320/ravioli1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204790195280492306" /></a><br />Happy Memorial Day everyone!<br /><br />Today I put up for a sale a Ravioli and Marinara Sauce pretend Kitchen play set.
