...here are our photos from today, i.e. EASTER. (Aren't I considerate? :-) ) (Posting them both here AND there? ) Happy Easter, everyone! He is risen, indeed He is RISEN! … [Read more...]
Leap Day Loveliness
True story: I was going to call this post “Leap Day Lunacy” but figured that title would scare you off. I’m all about being encouraging, you know? Because the truth is, we are crazy. Why else would we get a puppy when... We already have a houseful of crazies, including (but not limited to) a six-year-old who’s … [Read more...]
Who’s YOUR superhero?
:: A Valentine's Day Meditation (& Netflix Review) :: See those two little men in the photo above? I can tell you who their superhero is, no joking. It's me, Minnesota Mom. I'm the woman that rocks their world. Yes, seriously. (But don't tell them I told you.) * * * That said, I have to be very … [Read more...]
Giving the {Last Minute} Gift of…
C'mon, you had to know I would suggest it. For one thing, I'm on the Netflix #StreamTeam and am getting "reimbursed" for this endorsement. At this point, Netflix is the only sponsor of this blog, (which isn't bad, right?) and in exchange for my monthly reviews, my family was given a free year of Netflix streaming, (which we use ALL the … [Read more...]
Advent {Happy}
A bit of a mish-mash (as it were) of I was sick, Maggie's Quick Picks and how I haven't started shopping and couldn't care less. I. First off, wow. Have you or your kids gotten the flu virus yet? I noticed that something was wrong last Thursday when--this was my first clue--I had zero energy to get out of bed. Not even the promise of … [Read more...]
The Gift of Being…
Forgive me, will you, for taking a whole week to write this post? I've been dragging my feet about doing so because it means dealing with matters of the heart... ...and my heart is tender when it comes to these two. In my heart, I am still their little girl, and this little girl doesn't want to lose them. First, though, the … [Read more...]
Maggie’s Quick Picks: Our Sabbath Scripture Book by Family Formation
Lots to talk about this week! Before I get to my thoughts on some of the more horrific world events, I wanted to do a shout-out to God's thoughts in the form of this book. I've said it before. I'll say it again. My family really loves this book. We read it on the way to Mass, which means I have to speak VERY LOUDLY to reach all of the … [Read more...]
Friday the 13th
(Sorry! Didn't mean to remind you. :-) ) I don't want to talk about myself today. I would rather talk about Him. Crucifixion by Peter Paul Rubens I wouldn't be me if it weren't for Him. My life and its joys...its trials...its suffering... Raising a family. Letting go. Dying to pride. Everyday I move … [Read more...]
A Bold Move by My Daughter
Alternately Titled: If she can do it, so can I! (Only, maybe, not quite so short. ) When Cate suggested getting a haircut, I was all like "Yeah! Sure! You wanna do shoulder length with maybe bangs?" As it turns out, she had plans of her own, so off her hair goes (4 ponytails worth!) to Children with Hair Loss. Isn't that sweet … [Read more...]
“Trick or Stream”
Some Thoughts (and Movies) about Who We Are on Halloween Note to the Unsuspecting Reader: This is an Netflix-sponsored post, but the views expressed within are mine. There now. You've been warned. I wish today were a TGIF kinda day. You know exactly what I mean, I'm sure—a kick back kinda day, relax and chill before the … [Read more...]
