New Developments!

There have been some interesting developments in this Witch's household!!

I was given the opportunity to become a regular columnist for a new magazine called Wildstar Forest. It will be an advice column for the day to day life for the average witch. I'll be dealing with issues such as: how to introduce children to the God/desses, what to do if your family doesn't approve, and the like. Plus, I will be answering questions from my readers (blog, Facebook, magazine, and in even the in person question).

This is an amazing opportunity for me. I was beyond floored when I found out that I would be writing steadily. Not going to lie, I almost vomited! I was so excited and terrified at the same time.

Daddy lost his job 3 weeks ago. I'm not going to lie, it has been a little rough. Wish it didn't happen right at the holidays. Although, I'm so happy he's finally out of there! I hated that place. He came home miserable. Went to bed miserable. Woke up miserable. He was never there for the kids either. It was rough on all of us. This was a good thing... (my new mantra).

The little bakery business that my mother and I have got going is doing really well! We have orders all the way into January of next year. Not looking forward to the Christmas rush, but the money will be worth it. Especially right now. At the moment we are still trying to figure out how to pay bills and manage Yule/Xmas. Something will work itself out. ^_^

Well my darling readers... I have cookies that need baking! And here are two links, one for the magazine I will be writing for and the other for our bakery. We ship cookies and cupcakes, too!

100th POST!!

My fellow readers, it has reached that time! We have reached 100 posts! Now, I know I said I was going to do a give away on the 100th post, but life has a way of getting in the way of the best laid plans. So... the give away has been put off for a bit. More than likely, until after Yule. Now... to get down to what's been going on in this witch's household!

We will start with the youngest of the bunch, Mr. Chubs. In August/September we spent 5 days in the hospital with little man because of a MRSA infection that needed to be operated on. He's had one since, but it was no where near as severe and was caught well enough in time to save him from going through another surgery. Other than that he is as healthy as a horse and continues to be my living room terrorist! He's walking, talking, reading, balancing on one foot (that was a hoot to watch, let me tell you!),  using the big boy potty intermittently, and all around being a rambunctious little boy.

Now, for the Eldest... he is currently enrolled in something called AWANA. It is a Christian bible study thing for kids that happens every Wednesday. His Grandmother asked if it was ok to enroll him. It's a 2 hour program where they get to meet up with other kids, play games, and yes... bible study. Every time he comes home and tries to figure out how what he learned could have something to do with my Gods and Goddesses. He hates that they try to brainwash the other kids, but doesn't say anything when he's there. In a way, I am glad he's learning other paths. I am very proud that he still chooses to have pagan roots. He's also doing very well in 5th grade. 

Big news time! Daddy and I FINALLY got married on Oct. 10th. Just a very small thing at the courthouse. No one knew but our witnesses. Not even The Eldest knew until I picked him up from school that day 30 minutes before it happened. It was the hardest secret to keep EVER! I am very happy though, we both are.

Also...I have opened the RavenFang Grove. It is a place for everyone to come and learn about what it is that I do, teach, and discuss. Not going to lie, I have some of the greatest students a girl could ask for! It is a secret group because there are those who are not ready to come out of the broom closet and some who just wish to learrn more about different faiths/religions. The group is open to anyone who is open minded but must ask to join. I also take on personal students who are looking to delve a little deeper than what the grove offers. All you need to do is ask. Every lesson plan is created per student, there is no one right way for everyone to learn. I usually ask for background and what you want to get out of your lessons.

Oh yea... one more thing to add. I went to the 3rd annual Witches' Bazaar on Staurday and met some wonderful people! I am going to do a whole page devoted to vendors and my reviews on said vendors. Please check them out. They are selling quality goods and are beyond some of the sweetest people I have met!
