Subtitled: A Person’s a Person… I changed my mind about not blogging until Easter when I received an email from Kalley Yanta this morning. Apparently the Planned Parenthood people are hosting a “party” outside the St. Paul abortuary (the 3rd largest one in the country, incidentally) today, complete with live band and food truck. Their goal, no … [Read more...]
“Today is the Day…”
“…that Jesus Christ established the Eucharist.” I heard these words just now on the Drew Mariani show and was inspired to do a quick Triduum post. Inspired, I tell you! I’m sure it was the Holy Spirit. Plus it’s my daddy’s 88th birthday today and since he’s the sweetest—the sweetest!—man in the world, I’m wondering if you would say a prayer for … [Read more...]
A Little Lenten Meditation
I stood at the kitchen window yesterday, wondering if ever the snow would melt…wondering if ever this Lent would end. I miss you guys. I miss your comments. I glanced at our salt dough crown of thorns and smiled to see its thorns half gone. So many sacrifices offered in love for Him! So many thorns tenderly plucked from His crown. I did … [Read more...]
Lenten Check-In
This is a picture of our 3-going-on-4-in-two-months!-year-old George. Photo Credit: Kaylee Do you remember how hard we fought we for this kid? Goodness. Lately George can’t decide if he’s a big boy or not. In fact, this whole thing with [insert new blog name for Baby Nickers here] has pretty much thrown him for a loop, because—on … [Read more...]
Check Mate
George and Felicity are playing chess. (This after much cajoling on George’s part.) Every time Felicity makes a clever move, George says cheerfully, “I can still kill you!” Only, in the way he says it: “I tan ‘till till you!” My heart. It melts. * * * Happy St. Patrick’s Day Saturday, everyone! We’re having a party … [Read more...]
Lacking in Humility
I saw this at a friend’s yesterday: Seventeen Evidences of a Lack of Humility (from the writings of St. Josemaría Escrivá) 1. To think that what one says or does is better than what others say or do 2. To always want to get your own way 3. To argue with stubbornness and bad manners whether you are right or wrong 4. To give your opinion … [Read more...]

Our Lenten Crowns
We finally got around to making a salt dough crown of thorns. What? There are still two and a half weeks left of Lent. We’re doing well! (Haven’t yet made a papal lap book, though.) (Fingers crossed. Please no pope until we get it done!) Hey, a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do, and when it comes to cooking & cleaning & … [Read more...]
Naughty Little Mommy Monkey
I got back from dropping the boys off at school this morning and my 3-year-old met me at the door. “George is a bad little monkey!” he told me. “Really?” I asked. “What did he do?” “Him opened up the gate where the bunnies were!” he said enthusiastically. “Them eyes popped open and the babies runned away! Him tried to catch them but them ran too … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
(Published on Thursday, because a day late and several dollars short is how I roll.) This post is going to be a hodge-podge of thoughts. I have a hundred posts inside my head but can’t find the focus I need to get them all down. (Lucky for you.) I am so very, very, very distractable. I’m like Dug from UP only my “Squirrel!” is blogging! Facebook! … [Read more...]
