Today the girls and I had the privilege of attending the 5th annual Mother-Daughter tea hosted by a gracious family from our parish.
The house was filled with lovely ladies and girls in pretty hats and dresses. And while the rain kept us from crowning the large garden statue of Our Lady, the little ones were quite happy to process around the small statue of Our Lady of Fatima while singing Mary We Crown Thee and Regina Caeli.
Our hostess had prepared quite a delightful table full of goodies, and moms and daughters brought along a few of their favorites as well. The tea was excellent, the fellowship even better and the little girls were on their best behavior.
This is truly one of my very favorite May traditions!
I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 27 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

What a blessing. That sounds like a wonderful afternoon. Your daughters will treasure these memories.
Yeah, rub it in…
All I get is “phone tea.”
