We just got back from a fabulous trip to Montreal. We only spent one night, but it was so much fun. We celebrated Matt's birthday in style - strolling the streets of the Old Port, shopping on Saint Laurent, drinking fine wine and eating amazing food.
Our gluten-free culinary tour of Montreal began at a pub-like restaurant, called Cafeteria, on Saint Laurent. It was a late brunch in hopes to fuel us through our day of shopping. Unfortunately, it was over priced, underwhelming, unsatisfying and definitely not the way I wanted our adventure to start. But have no fear, the rest of our trip was sensational.

The straw flags/tags could be used as just that, straw flags...
...or as a shirt tag exclaiming "kiss me"...
...or as a little banner hung next to the leprechaun's treats left in the kiddo's shoes. Can't wait to stuff their shoes with fun green treats (ideas-- mike & ikes, sprite, limeade drink, green spearmint gum, green canister of pringles...etc. you get the jist of it).
This was a quick shamrock banner made by those sparkly foam cut outs that can be found at any craft store. I got mine at Michaels 50% off and three packages cost me all of $3. Love deals like that!
As I was hanging banners and taking pictures, this little fella snuggled in on the couch to watch me. Too bad his name isn't "Lucky", that would be so fitting for this post. Thus, his name is "Gus" and we love him whether he's an Irish dog or not.

The above picture is obviously from me-- not so professional looking, but we're ready to celebrate our No.1 daddy on this special day!
