Happy birthday baby! Fifteen years ago today, our youngest arrived - This is the most recent picture of her, taken a few minutes ago, as she and her older sister got ready to head out for some birthday shopping - I know it sound cliche, but I'd swear those two photos were taken about five...

No surprise to anyone that knows me that I heart Neil Gaiman. I will even admit there was a microt of time I wished I’d read Stardust before our son Tristan was born (and figured Tristran would put him on equal footing with his sisters Ciara and Caillean *grin*). I will admit that when I... Continue Reading →
A more accurate title would be, "Simply Ostara with a New Moon in Pisces and a Solar Eclipse to boot." However, that doesn't flow off the tongue quite as well. It does demonstrate how I sometimes manage to make simple things more complicated than necessary, but I'm learning to pull myself back to the side... Continue Reading →
We lost Sir Terry Pratchett last week. Today, I saw the following article in my Facebook newsfeed - Terry Pratchett will 'live on in the clacks' thanks to fans' programming code I've now installed the GNU Terry Pratchett code on this site. From the plugin description (created by Nick Cernis) - GNU Terry Pratchett From... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in the previous Fandom Friday, I've been on a quest to find easy, no-to-low yeast bread recipes. In the no-yeast category, I found a couple of Irish Soda Bread recipes that were close, but not quite, to what I wanted (yeah, me, the inexperienced baker, critiquing recipes - I'm such a brat!)....

Even though my family is many generations removed from the Emerald Isle, I always took great pride in my Irish surname. I was born a Cavanaugh, so St Paddy's Day was always a fun way to show my Bród na nGael. When I first began exploring Wicca and Paganism, I was completely dismayed to discover... Continue Reading →
Spring is springing! At least, that's the rumor. I'm seeing small signs of it today - The boulders in our yard are beginning to emerge from snow-covered slumber. There's even a spot of ground! Mr. Stubbs can now reach the Blue Jay's private dining area outside our bedroom window. And I went outside to feed... Continue Reading →
About a year and a half ago, I went in search of a recipe for the eldest, after we figured out she had a sensitivity to yeast, and a craving for freshly baked bread. I started making a traditional Irish bread, without the currents and caraway seeds, which was a big hit with the two... Continue Reading →
Today, thanks to the power of the interwebs, I discovered the full moon tomorrow night is called (among other names), "The Crow Moon." This makes me ridiculously happy, especially given the new friends I made this winter. This is what the unlikely-but-extremely-helpful-witchy-knowledge source, also known as the Farmers' Almanac has to say about the full... Continue Reading →
The epic battle between Elsa and Mab for title of "Queen of the Winter that closed Dunkins" continues here in New Hampshire, and all signs point to spring happening sometime around July. However, the near-and-sub-zero temps haven't frightened everyone away from our yard - we still have a few valiant visitors. Cool thing about this... Continue Reading →
If Wonder Woman, Nancy Drew, and Emma Peel got together and had a child, that bouncing baby girl would look an awful lot like Agent Carter (not to mention, being a Marvel of science). Red hats are cool The premise, from Wikipedia - In 1946, Peggy Carter must balance the routine office work she does... Continue Reading →
Many moons ago (too many to count), I was looking for a Witchy food blessing (aka, dinner prayer) to use for our then Wiccan family (I use the past tense because now that the kidlets are adults/near adults, they don't completely identify as such). I found exactly what I was looking for in the book,... Continue Reading →
