Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're here. This is where I share thoughts on liturgical living, faith, parenting, culture, and an extra dose of Jane Austen. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Instagram!
I am a ballet teacher and it is recital season. Things are a bit nuts due to the extra rehearsals and run-thrus preceding the performance. I keep having nightmares that I go out of town and miss the dress rehearsal or that I can’t find the auditorium or that none of my little ballerinas can find the right color tights. Whew. I’m a little worn out, but my sweet little dancers are just precious and I know they’ll do great. I keep reminding myself that regardless of whether they remember to point their toes or not, if at the end of the performance they tell me, “Miss Haley, I love to dance!” I will have succeeded. But, I’m a little antsy for the curtain to fall for my summer teaching break.
Coming Up in the Liturgical Year: We’re getting close to Pentecost! Does your family do anything special for Pentecost? We don’t have any family traditions for it yet, so I’d love your suggestions.
