Welcome to Carrots! I'm so glad you're back. You can sign up for my email newsletter here to stay in touch, or look me up on Instagram!
Happy Monday, dear ones. We’re keeping busy with a new project that I can’t wait to tell you about later this week. In the meantime, you can find the first part of my Catholicism: Empowering Women series from a few months ago posted over at Catholic Exchange this morning!
And here’s an adorable picture of Lucy all dressed up for my precious goddaughter’s baptism yesterday to tide you over:
She felt pretty swell about wearing such a great hat to Mass…until she hit her chin on the pew, bit her tongue, and Daniel had to take the poor screaming gal outside to console her. Our goddaughter was a vision of adorableness. It’s the first time Daniel and I have had the honor of being godparents and I have to admit, it is grand. We celebrated afterwards with mead and these cookies.
Lucy looks just wonderful! And she knew it, didn’t she?
Poor baby, though, hurting herself!
I have always wanted to be a godparent, but it never happened. Now I’m 57, so I’m probably too old for anybody to choose me. Oh, well.
Oh my goodness, she’s adorable! I love the outfit
I love it!! Why are sailor outfits ALWAYS the best?!
I loved the little sailor outfit we had/have for Sebastian but unfortunately he only wore it once before he outgrew it. Those growth spurts during the first three months are killers. Anyway, she’s adorable.
I’d like to point out that it is officially “later in the week.” Spill it, sister.
I went over to Catholic Exchange and read your article. It was beautifully written! As a Protestant, I have encountered a lot of people in the church who look at women as second-class citizens. Even some women! It’s super unfortunate. The point that you made about Mary being the Mother of God, and not just the Mother of Jesus, really struck a nerve with me (in a good way!).
Keep up your writing! This Protestant loves your blog!
