By the sea…

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!

To celebrate my sweet mum’s 60th birthday, we went on a little trip to the ocean to eat at a restaurant built over the water (because it was a dry county in days past). We haven’t been there since the building was rebuilt after being destroyed in a hurricane. Now, why you would want to build your restaurant in the exact same place it recently fell into the ocean in a state that gets hurricanes at least once a year is beyond me…but, it IS a lovely spot. Benjamin has only seen the ocean once before so he was thrilled about the whole idea.

And now, get ready, because I think this is our first family picture since Lucy was born. (I think maybe there’s a picture of the four of us from last winter but she was fast asleep in the sling, so I’m not sure that counts…):

I’m quite a lucky gal.

    That’s a lovely family picture – and I think Lucy looks quite like your mom!

      Thanks, Abbey! And I agree. I think she looks more like me, my mom, and my aunties:)
