Cake was a lovely addition!!!
We gathered together, all 8 of us,
with our local Matushka and talked about
what it means to be an Orthodox woman, married,
working Mothers with
children, how things have changed, raising children,
homemaking traditions.

It was so lovely and I do hope we can have another
in the new year...
building community is so important and needed in our lives.
And to come together as Christians,
and of course to have tea....
beautiful celebration and the sense of community is so important to being happy and healthy!
