Description

This week we're diving even deeper into the world of everything St. Patrick's Day with the most Irish person we know (and one of our oldest friends), Margaret Moore! She'll explain what it means to her to be Irish and how to respectfully celebrate everyone's favorite day to drink (hint: it doesn't involve a Kiss Me I'm Irish t-shirt or shamrock sunglasses). We suggest you put on your Irish sweater, listen to some bagpipes, and truly get to know the reason for the season. And grab a Guinness while you're at it.
