Catching Up....
So looking over my blog I noticed there were many events/memories that I did not blog about. So this one will be a catch up blog so if its a little long I'm sorry. I think there will be more pics than anything, lol.
First I noticed nothing was said about my Ostara. It was quiet and lovely. I made Ostara baskets for my two daughter and my mom. We colored eggs and ate a ton of candy. We left the dinner for Easter as I'm trying to accommodate my moms beliefs as well plus that is how I was raised so we honor both Pagan and Christian holidays in my home.
Below is a pic of our Ostara table.....
Next is a couple of pics of my youngest with her Ostara basket. She's funny, after she got it she said she couldn't wait for her Easter basket. I told her she got an Ostara basket and that was it. She turns and tells me "No that basket was from the Goddess, I'm waiting for the one from the bunny now." Oh boy kids........
Next was Beltane and the super moon. We had a lovely time but both of the girls did go home sick. They came down with a 24 hour flu bug. But the sabbat and super moon where still filled with magic. Below is a picture of my personal altar at home and the Maypole at the Beltane celebration.

Super moon pictures. Sorry camera cell phones don't do it justice at all but I'm happy I got a few pics of it.
Oh yeah and back tracking even further to Earth Day. We all went to IHOP for an extra early breakfast and we all ordered the Lorax breakfast and planted our seeds they gave us that day. Now after all these years I can finally say I ate green eggs and ham. Yay!!
That's it folks. I think I'm all caught up for now, lol. Thanks for tuning in. Blessed Be!

Blessed Lammas
Merry Meet!
How are you spending this Sabbat?
For my family and I not too much I already harvested herbs and veggies from our back yard. And I have never been much of a bread maker but I do have a recipe from Paula Deen called "Monkey Bread" which is so incredibly easy to make its just ridiculous. So with the monkey bread, and salad from our veggies and herbs along with some sage in my little fire pit that will consist of my celebration/ritual today. So whatever you may be doing I hope its a blessed one for you. I'm adding a little wikipedia knowledge link below for anyone who is curious on Lammas.

Blessing Ritual
So a few weeks ago two of my dearest friends did a blessing ritual for my two girls. I guess you could compare it to a wiccaning but it was a little different.
My 15 year old wanted to do it because after years of looking into different religions mainly because of her grandparents and her father all being of different religions. She did try the christian thing with her dad and grandmother. Catholic with her grandfather and Jewish with her other grandmother and time after time kept coming back to me with more and more questions on paganism. So finally she felt that she was at a time where she knew what she wanted and felt old enough to decide on her own what she wanted and that was my religion of the old ways.
My youngest is 4 and I never got around to doing any type of blessing for her. A close friend of mine did do a Navajo blessing on her when she was 2 but being that she is all mine and no other family to shove different religions down her throat or in her head I'm raising her how I want to and that is for her to be Pagan.
It was a lovely event. Very intimate with only the closest of friends in attendance. We had an awesome potluck afterwards and a nice fire pit going in the evening. You could feel all the love in the air it was so nice.
I'm so grateful to the Goddess for giving me such a loving family and friends to do this for us. Just wanted to let everyone know that no matter the age it is never too late to get the blessing or choose the religion you want or feel comfortable with.
