In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, Crocs’ online store is offering 17% off your entire order, plus free shipping. Just use the coupon code STPATS17 when you check out.

With summer weather on the way, I plan to use this sale to stock up on brightly-colored Caymans (the slip-on style) for my kids. They love that they can put on their shoes themselves! The online store also has a ton of colors that I can’t always find in retail stores, so I really like that too.

This 17% discount is only good through today, March 17, so buy while you can.

St. Patrick’s Day is always fun to celebrate, but if you’ve got kids, the wild beer-swilling events aren’t always appropriate. Solution: Go to the Fort Worth Stockyards Station on March 13 for “Cowtown Goes Green,” their family-friendly St. Patrick’s Day event. Beginning at 1 p.m., they’ll have a variety of entertainment options for the whole family, including pony rides, a petting zoo, contests from Radio Disney, and a live Irish band. Plus, there will be the usual Fort Worth Herd Cattle Drive, followed by a St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
