Kally's Cauldron

Today I'm thankful for..........





SUNSHINE
(particularly after all this rain we've been having....)

I'm thankful for Spring's blooming flowers.

Tonight is the Full Flower Moon and along with my normal monthly Esbat, I'm planning on doing a little career magick for my hubby (with his help). He likes his job but is hoping for a new, higher paying position to open up (there's two potential places for this to happen but the HR department in his office isn't exactly "on the ball")

The plan so far is to do two parts, the first for the position to actually open and the second to give him what he needs to GET said position. We only really decided today to do this so I'm trying to throw a little something together (unfortunately, I really don't do all that much magick...only when we really need the extra boost of help). I'll post on Thursday with what we ended up doing because at this point, I only have some vague ideas.

I also have a few fun witchy things going on in the kitchen....

Happy Flower Moon!!

Well, we never did make it to the farmer's market this weekend. Saturday was just too busy and by the time we got our act together on Sunday it was too late. I really wanted to get outside so we headed up to the Gatineau hills again.




For Easter my sister got the boys these awesome t-shirts that have capes that velcro onto the back of their shirts. Too cute!

I received this from my mother-in-law (of all people!) and thought a little funny would be a good way to end the week and wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day.
