May your day be filled with the love of family, and may you love your family for who they are;May your plate be full and your heart, equally so;And may you look for laughter in those little moments...while keeping one eye on your wine glass at all times.PS. I call this photo "Carpe Vino." It's Angela, of course, and was taken four years ago on … [Read more...]
In which I question my homemaking and prepare for three days of Feasting
Updated to Add: It just occurred to me that this title sounds like a reference to Thanksgiving. It’s not! I can’t even think about Thanksgiving until we’re finished with these two birthdays.Lawda mercy, but it’s true. Here we go again.Yesterday was my daughter Cate’s 10th birthday.Today we celebrate Felicity’s 8th.It’s crazy, it’s busy, it’s … [Read more...]
Christ the King
In honor of today’s great feast…You may well have already seen this, as it’s been “out there” for a couple weeks now.Still, I cry every time I see it.Today is one of those feasts where I feel—acutely—my shortcomings as a Christian. I want to be bolder in proclaiming Our Lord’s kingship; I want to submit; I want to know. What does it mean that He’s … [Read more...]
Saying Mass
Or, in this case, playing it.Once upon a time, we purchased a miniature Mass kit from Our Father’s House. This was years ago, and it has seen a lot of use since then.I am always willing to take an hour or so out of our school day to teach our children about the Mass. Parts are assigned; liturgical costumes donned.There is always at least one … [Read more...]

He Said/She Said (Part II)
[Read Part I here.]I realized, as I spoke to the police officer, that I was wrong in my recollection of what had happened—completely wrong. I thought the man in the car in front of me had been traveling east as I had been, when in fact he was in the west-bound lane. He had spun out into my lane upon impact.How humbling to admit to the officer that … [Read more...]

He Said/She Said
Yesterday morning, on the way home from my holy hour at 6:00 a.m., I witnessed a two-car accident.It was horrible—not because anyone died, thank God, but because I thought someone had died. One of the cars spun out in front of me and the passenger-side door flew open. As I slowed to a stop behind the sedan, the driver (who appeared to be a man in … [Read more...]
Snowy November Saturday
It’s baaaaaaack! Overheard: “I’ve waited all spring for this!”Overlooked: The snowballs lobbed at little sisters.(Not really. Eventually I told him to stop.)(Which was No Fun in his opinion.)On the inside looking out...On the outside looking in...(My stockinged feet were so so cold.)And on the inside staying dry.“What’s all the hubbub?” Greta the … [Read more...]
