"If my left leg was cut off, I'd be thankful that it wasn't my right leg 'cause I can hop really well on my right leg." * * * In other news, I miss this space! Do you miss me back? 'Cause I'm trying--trying!--to find the time to spend blogging, but I'd love a little online hug. {hint hint} I have so many posts lined up for you! Our grad … [Read more...]
Whereupon God knocks me out of Bed and I stop…
...seeking my happiness in external signs of accomplishment. "Mom," my son said. "Stop being creepy." "I'm not!" I replied, taking a photo at the stoplight. BOOM! That was the sound of God turning my world completely upside down. (Not really.) (Actually, I just fell out of bed.) (Seriously, though? How many grown women fall out of … [Read more...]
Armed & Ready: My Firstborn’s High School Graduation
In heading into this last week before our grad party... I wish I could say I was as confident as this. I wish I had the unabashed strength of a two-year-old—a strength in spirit if nothing else. I wish I felt ready to host a hundred people. I wish my garage were already clean. "Would you just trust me?" My husband is … [Read more...]
Bloom Where You’re Planted
This will be just a brief meditation because I have got to start cleaning the garage. See? It's dusty. It's cluttered. It's crowded. It scares me. How on earth will I be ready for a grad party? It's only {gasp} ten days away! "I'll show you, Mama! You get the work done by playing Monopoly with me!" That's what HE thinks, … [Read more...]

Up and Coming on the Blog: Highlights from the Minnesota Catholic Home Education Conference and Stress-Free Grad Party Planning
Okay, so I'm totally fibbing about stress-free grad party planning but I got your attention, didn't I? The truth is, this past weekend was so blessed & beautiful & crazy busy that when I smacked the snooze button on my alarm this morning, I did it with such style and ferocity that it didn't ring again. Not in five minutes. Not at all. … [Read more...]
Love is in the Little Things
One of the best parts of my day is that first cup of coffee along with my morning offering. I subscribe to emails from The Catholic Company, (you can subscribe here if you wish), so once my mug of dark roast is brewed, I settle in with the words that come from God to me. God can take the very same email—or the very same verse, or gesture, or … [Read more...]
On Truth, Beauty, and Being Free
Or, Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean that You Should My #StreamTeam Musings on #MemorialDay Here's the truth: I don't know where I'm headed with this post. On the one hand, I don't want to offend the good folks at Netflix. On the other, I don't know that I can't offend them...at least in part...because I don't always agree with what they … [Read more...]
The Gift{s} of Pentecost
Gifts. Plural. There are thousands of them that I could be requesting today, and also thousands of things for which I'm thankful. Like this little guy: ...who turns six today! This year, he shares his birthday with the Church. : ) You may remember that George is our miracle boy, a gift (there's that word!) from God after four … [Read more...]
