I can only get around to it every now and then so here goes!
1. Who knew time would fly by and your baby would be receiving First Holy Communion! On the Feast of Christ the King, Joshua Levi, my oldest baby received the Blessed Sacrament! I was so excited I didn't know whether I was going or coming! So very proud of my Little young Man! I'm so excited about him receiving with Jacques and I, that it's got me going to three weekly mass services!!! *dancing*

2. Circle Skirts have my heart and they will never know how much I love them because, I h a v e to stop myself. No one should have this type of relationship with an inanimate object! They're so pretty and feminine and twirly and modest and TOO kind to my sweet loving thighs. And since I realised that a 2cm waistband suits a shorty like me I want to m a k e them all the time! I think I'm going to have to do a tutorial! It's one of the easiest things to make if your have a sewing machine!
Oh!!! I made (the day before) and wore this one for Josh's First Holy Communion.

3. Advent is second most loved liturgical time of the year for me! I really love the anticipation of Christmas and Chritmastide. Living liturgically is all very new to me, in fact we only started THIS Advent Season! So to break us in, I decided to mash up our Advent with Jesse Tree Activities (perhaps thats how it IS done?!?). Its been really good for us and we have been doing it in the mornings, so we are kind of fresh and it actually helps the daily chores get done sooner than usual!
Hold thumbs for us as we try to do this the South African way! We have done bits and bobs here and there, but usually a day late because I take my cue from the American Mommies.

4. I have been asked to talk at our Parishes four masses for the third week of Advent, (s l i g h t l y PANICKED), on following The Star of Mercy as Mother, Wife and Nurturer. This is in follow up with the Popes announcement of The Year of Jubilee! So as I have been pondering the subject I slowly realised how unfamiliar I am with the virtue of Mercy. Patience, YES. Love, YES. Mercy, I thought I did but then I read this article, so I sat up and thought that I am going to have to try and PRACTISE Mercy this week, to get familiar with the topic.
5. My house looks like its in a constant mess, are you having the same problem? Its looks this way, but it feels like the best place to rest my tired and merciless soul. I remember when I went to bed with a clean kitchen and now its like whatever! The days are for playing and writing and sewing and eating and reading and swimming and all that jazz. I really like a clean house, but most importantly I LOVE a happy home! But if Alf on the Shelf wants to pay me a visit and clean, so be it!!!
