Small Business Owner's Day - The Inspiration Behind Biddy Murphy

Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy and need your support now, more than ever. Biddy Murphy started as one of my crazy ideas (I’m known for having my brain going in a thousand different directions!) after I kept seeing a couple of patterns play out. These patterns served to be the inspiration behind the start of this small business.

SHARING A LITTLE IRISH LUCK WITH OUR NEWEST FRIENDS

As an Irish business, Biddy Murphy has always celebrated in March as part of Irish Heritage Month. This year, the team wanted to share a bit of their good fortune with others. Biddy Murphy selected St. Joseph Health System (SJHS) in Mishawaka, Indiana as their selected nonprofit and donated several items to the NICU.

Celebrating the Feast of  St. Patrick

When you think of Irish celebrations, perhaps Irish soda bread isn't the first thing that comes to mind, but it is one of the most authentic Irish foods that you'll see on American tables when they celebrate St. Patrick's Day on March 17th. (Unless you’re also serving Guinness and in that case, you might try this Guinness Milkshake!) When I was a boy in Co. Tipperary, Ireland, we would start the day by going to church to celebrate the Feast of St. Patrick. It was a Holy Day, so we had to get dressed up and go to mass. All I could think about was what we were going to have to eat afterward.

Celebrating International Women's Day - March 8th, 2020

It's only fitting that we would celebrate International Women's Day by paying tribute to the woman who inspired our business, Bridget "Biddy" Murphy.

Irish Traditions for St. Patrick’s Day

Irish Traditions for St. Patrick’s Day

March 17th, St. Patrick's Day - it's the day when everybody is Irish! (Or George Stephanopoulous says we all “pretend" to be Irish) People all over the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day. You'll see communities rally together with parades, parties and in some locations, pea planting. Many areas participate in the "greening" of their surroundings, like the Chicago River pictured above. It's all in honor of the Irish patron saint, St. Patrick.
