So do you remember this kid who turned 13 on Sunday?(He's the one on the left.)Well, I would have done a birthday post in his honor, but I was too...distracted, as it were, carrying on with him at a local amusement park. Because my husband was busy getting ready for a canoe trip, he asked that *I* be the one to take Joe & Jem and two of their … [Read more...]
Feeling Social Saturday: Blog Management

Retreat!
As in, this must be my battle cry.(But only for the next three weeks.)For the next three weeks, I need to retreat—that is, to go on retreat; to go away; to sit still and listen and know that He is God.(Name that verse.)Not to worry—this is no big deal. This is just a blog, and it’s just a blog break. I am taking it because, having been given a … [Read more...]
Hey, Google Reader Readers!
Did you notice that I changed my settings back to full view?It was fun while it lasted, having it on "partial view." I saw my stats triple and that was titillating! Still, in the end I just felt...greedy, and so I am switching it back to the way it was.You're welcome. … [Read more...]

I ♥ Our Lady
Subtitled: SerendipityI was tempted to feel discouraged yesterday. Here it was the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel—allegedly one of my favorites—and I had done little to nothing to prepare for it!First off, we didn’t make it to daily Mass and this omission quickly lent itself to all sorts of guilt. I batted it away and squared my shoulders. … [Read more...]
Homeward Bound (and Back)
You may already know that I’m originally from North Dakota.This is the view outside the WalMart in the town where I grew up. It is much better than the view inside the WalMart. Yes, I realize that makes the title of this blog a misnomer. I am not really a Minnesota mom—I am a transplant, I am a fraud.Would it help if I said that I grew up on the … [Read more...]
