Before you write and tell me that it's Advent and I shouldn't decorate my blog for Christmas, let me explain. I love peppermint stick ice cream. Love it. As a matter of fact, it's the only ice cream I think worth the calories. And even though it's Advent and not Christmas, the Christmas ice cream is in the stores. For a limited time only. Before Thanksgiving, we got some peppermint ice cream. Two-for-one, actually. And I ate way too much of it. I gained back previously lost baby weight (0nly now it's not baby weight, is it?). My baby does not like it--it gives her gas and makes her spit up. So, I'm giving it up.
What does that have to do with blog design? It was time to take down the baby ticker and the pregnancy prayers, time to load the Christmas reading. But it made me sad to take down that ticker. Kind of like this sort of sad.
I wanted to console myself. With peppermint ice cream. Since that wasn't available, I dressed all my children up like peppermint sticks, took a picture, and redecorated my blog.
And I posted the Our Lady of La Leche prayer for another child. You never know, right;-)?
Happy, blessed Advent. Now go have some peppermint ice cream. For a limited time only.
