Happy Gaudete Sunday!

It is so hard to believe that it is the third Sunday in Advent!  Gaudete means Rejoice, so let us rejoice that we are in this joyful week of Advent.  It has been quite a hectic and somewhat stressful first two weeks but I'm hoping that this week will be a bit more Advent-like (ie prayerful and quiet :)  

This week, too, I'll be launching my book "A Plan for Joy in the Home:  A Workbook on Organizing Your Day for Homeschooling Mothers".  I figured the joyful week of Advent would be a great time to present a book whose mission it is is to bring joy into your home.  Get your copy in time for the New Year :)

One of my all time favorite songs of the church is "Gaudete".  I found this video to share with you.  Enjoy this third week.
