Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls

In my dreams, I'm one of those awesome Pinterest-perfect moms with crafts and holiday goodies and the whole 9 yards, but in reality, I'm just "exhausted under-achieving mom" most of the time. But don't worry. I've come to terms with it for the most part.

I do still like to put in some effort to the Pinterest-y thing though, which is what makes these Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls so perfect. ย They're adorable and fun AND really really easy. ย Your kids will love them, and this festive breakfast won't eat up all your precious free time!

Pre-packaged cinnamon rolls and sprinkles are what makes these Shamrock Cinnamon Rolls festive and fun, and those same things are whatย makes them so simple (and sanity-saving!).

3. ย Shape the cinnamon roll strip by forming three loops, leaving a little bit for the stem. ย Be sure to put the cinnamon coated part on the inside of the loops. ย You may need to make adjustments for the first cinnamon roll or two, until you get the hang of it.
