    I can relate! After #2 was baptized, I was sure I hung the heirloom baptismal gown in my mother-in-law's front closet. A couple year's later, when #3 was born, I asked for the gown again and was told I still had it. The gown was missing for 11 years. For 11 years my mil thought I lost the gown that all 6 of her children and 8 of her grandchildren had been baptized in. My m-i-l finally found it in a storage box shortly after my #7 was born, and we were glad to have him wear it for his baptism.trutr

    I have goosebumps!! Praying to St. Anthony has worked for us so many times! It does seem to work better when the children pray. We are so blessed with all of the intercessors we have for us in heaven. Happy advent to all of you.

    That was so INSPIRING!! St. Anthony has been very busy this week. He found my debit card for me on SUNDAY (Oh my goodness I just realized that it was Gaudette Sunday!!!!!) on the seat cushion of my dining room chair. I had searched the whole downstairs for it. Whalllaa I pulled out my chair to sit down to dinner, and there it was!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
