Beautiful idea for a centrepiece

Clear glass vases are filled at the base with colourful rainbow sprinkles, creating a bright, cheerful foundation. Resting inside each vase is an inverted waffle ice-cream cone, cleverly used as a holder for fresh flowers. The cones are filled with vibrant pink roses, soft blush carnations, and delicate pale pink blossoms, with fresh green leaves adding balance and contrast.

Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s essential. When you take time to rest, recharge, and look after your own wellbeing, you have more energy, patience, and compassion to give to others. Just like a cup needs to be filled before it can pour, you need care too.

Small acts matter:
• Pause and breathe
• Eat and drink well
• Rest when you’re tired
• Ask for support
• Do something that brings you calm or joy

Taking care of yourself helps you stay healthy, present, and resilient — for yourself and for everyone who relies on you. 💛

This game is fun.

St Patrick's Day Game:
Roll a Rainbow 🌈🌈🌈
Print out enough of these roll a rainbow sheets for everyone who will play to have one each.
Give each player a game card, a six-sided die, and something to mark off their cards.
When you say go, players have to roll the die as quickly as possible and mark off the color associated with the number they rolled. Continue rolling until they’ve rolled every single color.
For the odd number red space, players need to roll the odd number, but they can only choose to cross off one color per roll. So if they rolled a five, they could choose to mark off the red space or purple but not both.
First person to finish rolling all of the colors of the rainbow wins.
