I am just quickly putting some things together for my children and I to watch and learn about the inauguration together since we are all home. This year I plan to add to the traditional conversations around the inauguration -the loss of a public ceremony. How important it would have been for Black girls to…
It’s Shrove Tuesday!
So, today is Shrove Tuesday also known as Fat Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day. Traditionally, this is the last day of rich foods. We do this because tomorrow is Ash Wednesday which reminds us of our earthly mortality and which begins Lent a season of sacrifice. Here’s a great article from NatGeo. The pictures…
Our First Epiphany Feast
To end the Christmas season I hosted an impromptu Epiphany Feast. One of the reasons I love the Episcopal Church are the traditions. I’ve long been interested in The Twelve Days of Christmas.

So our house got broken into.
During the first week of February I came home from picking the girls up from around 3:30. The garage was open when we got home and I thought that was odd. I thought it odd-because there was a car that wasn’t from our neighborhood sitting in the cul-de-sac so I had specifically watched it closed….
