What do you mean, just the flax? It was meant to be punny. You know, to go with the picture. Have you ever dropped a whole container of flax seeds? Yeah, me neither. So...you're going to write a whole blog post about flax seeds? No. Good. Why don't you talk about something worthwhile, then? You mean, like the terrorist attacks in … [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...]
Asked & Answered
My Responses to all your Burning Questions :P So that was interesting. Kind of. Not really? Yesterday was just hard in general. I cried at Mass because everyone--my kids included--just barreled out the door after the final blessing, except for one sweet man in a Vikings jersey. Head bent low over his clasped hands, he was oblivious to … [Read more...]
Ask the Blogger
This is probably as lame an entry as you're gonna get, but really. Before agreeing to my "30 Posts in 30 Days" lunacy, I should have taken into account: 1. Who writes blog posts on a Sunday? and 2. Who READS blog post on a Sunday? Not me! I'm too busy huggin' my kids. So today's a gimme, as in, gimme what you got. Is there a … [Read more...]
Deliver Us From…
Pick your poison, 'cause on any given day that's what I do. When we pray the Our Father as a family, and we DO do this, every night before bed, I cling to that last request like nobody's business. Deliver us, Lord, from all sorts of evil. Deliver us from bickering kids. Deliver us from fear and feeling overwhelmed. Deliver us from … [Read more...]
What a $10 Beer taught Me about Me
In short, some habits are HARD to break. This is me. (Me and my husband, to be exact.) Can you tell that I'd had a $10 beer in this picture? I hope you say no, because I hadn't. Instead, alas, I'd had too much wine. TMI? No. Too much wine. (I'm telling you this for a reason. Bear with me.) This is our 2-year-old … [Read more...]
Baby Steps for a Big Baby: 7 Things I Did this Summer to Feel like Less of a Failure
Or: On How to Stop Over-eating, Over-worrying, Over-EVERYTHING, for crying out loud! You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging. There are at least two good reasons for this decision, seven of which I'm going to detail here. (?) The truth is, I was (trying to) squeeze every last moment of merit from the summer that flew by...and as … [Read more...]
In His Hand
aka This Pilgrim's Progress One of the problems I have with blogging is that I have quite literally hundreds of things to say. Right now (and thankfully for YOU), I'll focus on just a few of them. First, no matter where we're at right now, God's got this. He's holding us close in the palm of His hand. He loves us and wants nothing more than … [Read more...]
Please Read This
Why? Why should you read this? That's what I'm trying to figure out, and I'm trying really hard not to be a pill about it. "You just did a survey! What more do you want?!" That's a good question. Here are the facts: My blog is about to change a bit, because I'm (finally) making the jump the WordPress. More on that later. I … [Read more...]
