My second daughter is turning twelve so soon. Childhood is marching away so quickly. With all the changes happening in our family dynamic lately, I have felt shaky and ill-prepared. What is the remedy for this? Celebration I suppose and as much of it as I can manage. So I planned a little afternoon blessing party for my daughter and some of her sweet friends and their mothers to take part in. It was so simple but so full of goodness.
During the party, we made flower crowns. I had never made a flower crown before especially for myself and it was a really special experience. I love the feeling of any sort of community or togetherness and this party provided that for me. I think my daughter was blessed. She was coming out of being very sick and so it was even more special to feel better AND to be with her dear friends.
Doing any sort of celebration takes energy. It takes planning and putting yourself out there. I was so thankful for the graciousness of these mothers willing to be a part of this plan. They blessed me far more than they will ever understand.
