Ostara

Today is the spring equinox also known for witches as Ostara. Much of what people now associate with Easter originally started as reference to Ostara. The Easter bunny, Coloring eggs, baby farm animals, and even the buying of new clothes all have a place in the history of this spring celebration. Much of the original pagan traditions were carried over into the christian holidays when the roman catholic church was trying to convert Europe. Take some time to day to enjoy the warming weather, color some eggs and decorate a spring tree or use fun colored plastic eggs for the decorating, try to balance a egg on the wide end and have it stand up. Take some time to look up more information and this fun holiday and the traditions that come with it.

Dressed up for spring!

Intro

Welcome, first off I know that there is a lot of garbage out there and one thing that I do for my family is to only buy the best, I also garden organically, and I bottle much of what I grow so one of the things that I will probably refer to often is organic.  Get use to it you will be seeing a lot of it.


Next is that I am a practicing and working Witch. Yes I wrote it I AM A WITCH. It is a recognized religion so get use to it. 


I am also a stay at home mom, and in this I am very lucky that my husband and I were able to work it so that I could take care of the kids and not sacrifice anything by not going out and trying to bring in more money. I say trying because for many family's if the math was added up then one parent could actually stay home after you deducted fuel, lunches out, daycare ect. not to mention time away from your kids. But for many others it is not possible to live there current life style without both parents working. 


I am a very dedicated parent, If you are great, if you want to try harder great, if you are looking for advice great, but if you want to complain on my blogs, or don't think of your children as the most wonderful things in the world LEAVE NOW. 


Most of what I will be talking about has to do with taking care of home and family, other parts are about living the craft, take what you will and leave what you don't want, this blog is not geared towards only those who are witches, nor is it only geared towards stay at home moms. However in that area I can be a little preachy sorry in advance but that's what I am, Don't take it personally after all this is only a blog. 


I hope that you find good useful information in these posts that are yet to come and that they might be able to better your life.
