ETA: Here it is.

Anyone interested in participating in a "Carnival of Everyday Summer Skirts & Dresses", please keep JUNE 3 in mind as the day for sending in your posts/pictures.

It’s a "Virtual Fashion Show for Moms!"

If you have pictures/posts of yourself in one or several of your favorite dresses or skirts that you wear for "everyday activities"....caring for children, doing housework, cooking, etc. please consider sending in a photo, or if you have a blog, send your blog entry to me by Sunday evening, June 3.

If you have a blog, but don't want to do a post specifically about this (maybe friends or relatives would "wonder"), you could just link to any general post with you in that outfit. (a covert operation )

WONDERFUL Suzanne! Thank you so much for doing this. I loved the photo album! Just a side note, do you know Donna Cori Gibson IRL? I've been listening to her music for years. Way Cool!

Yes! I started listening to her music a few years ago, and LOVED it. So, imagine my surprise when I show up to my first Cath HS Mom's meeting and there she was! I thought she lived in Montana b/c that's what the back of her CDs say

I took my oldest two girls to see her "in concert" the end of April at a church near us. It was wonderful.

We use her music a lot when talking about certain bible stories, saints, or aspects of the Faith. Who needs a catechism program when you have her music?

I loved the carnival Suzanne - and Lisa, I have been watching your blog for some time. Loved seeing how your still "skirting" while pregnant. That really helps me see how to do it with future hopes for more littles. I'm going to be in awe if Suzanne knows Donna Cori Gibson - I have all of her stuff! We listen to her a lot around here!

I'm sorry I missed the carnival for adding posts. I did post my general thoughts on femininity today on my blog because I was so inspired by this carnival and other threads here lately. It's good to be among other Catholic women living this out. You're all such a blessing to me.

Jennifer: I just added your post to the Mr. Linky at the bottom!

If anyone else has related posts, just go to the bottom of the Carnival post and add your link. It's really easy.
