honoring Cicely: a Christian blessingway

honoring Cicely: a Christian blessingway

I’ve written a little bit about blessingways here. About a month ago, I had the honor of throwing a blessingway for a dear friend of mine, Cicely. She is pregnant with her 3rd child, and I wanted a chance to honor her. Since we are both Christians, I thought it would also be neat to interweave spiritual encouragement through the ceremony as well. I got a lot of ideas from this blog post about ways to make it specifically Christian….

Atlanta Greek Festival

Atlanta Greek Festival

We love the annual Atlanta Greek Festival. This year was Savannah’s 3rd Greek festival. She was only 7-ish weeks at her first one: A little over a year at her next one: And this year, we got Savannah a belly dancing skirt.

It will be…

Dragon*Con parade

Dragon*Con parade

Every Labor Day weekend, there is a sci-fi/fantasy convention here in Atlanta called Dragon*Con. For some reason, I never heard about it until last year, and I had a lot of other things going on at the time, so it didn’t occur to me to do anything about it. This year, though, I found out there’s a PARADE up Peachtree St. in downtown Atlanta. And it’s free to go and watch! I was really excited. I couldn’t find anyone to…
