Hey! Thanks for stopping by. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Today is, as I am sure you are all aware, Saint Declan’s Day. If you would all kindly stop your feasting and merry-making to read my post, that would be great.
The ruins of St. Declan’s Church, seen over the flowers.
Anyone who’s ever met by blossoming two year old terror, Declan, knows that he is no saint. But he was unintentionnally named after one - Saint Declan of County Waterford. Although we had no intention of celebrating St Declan’s day before he was born, it’s not every day that you have a feast day named after you. On top of that, through coincidence, I happen to have a turkey defrosting in the refridgerator. So… TONIGHT WE DINE IN… sorry wrong movie.
Tonight we shall we feasting in Declan’s name. Yay!
I may pretend that I update often, but sometimes life gets in the way. By life I mean 2 kids, running daycare, crafting and sleeping. Occasionally I'm just lazy too. Please bear with me. I love my readers!

Aww, that’s such a good idea to have a little celebration on a patron saint’s holy day.
When I was in grade school (at a Catholic school) we all had to do a report on our patron saint. I was the only kid who didn’t have one (there is no saint Kelly, and my middle name is similarly secular). My teacher was aghast. I wish I had a cool name like Declan!
