And a Prayer Request I am nearing the end of 33 Days to Morning Glory and already I know I'll be reading it again. I know now that the only way to peace for me--and the very best means to emptying my full-to-overflowing bucket of faults--is to give all I got to Mary.

Mom’s Eye View
Look who's crawling. You will note, perhaps, the absence of an exclamation point in that statement. I am not ready for him to be crawling. My kitchen's floor's not ready; my stacks of books to be sorted are not ready. I have a ton, almost literally, of books and curricula I'm selling. If you would like to see a list of everything, shoot me an … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
I did not--most certainly did NOT--meet my health and wellness goals this past week. Between the wedding in North Dakota and my need for crunchy/salty, chewy/sweet while driving and my five oldest children away at camp since Sunday [momma angst!] and the bag of honey mustard Snyder's pretzels mindlessly consumed last night... Well. The weight is … [Read more...]
By Love Refined
I have one more "favorite photo" to share from my trip home. This one. This moment. My dad helping my mom into Mass on Sunday; a man holding the arm of his beloved bride; a couple married sixty-six grace-filled years. It's what I hope for my nephew and his wife; it's what I hope...for us. * * * * * One Final … [Read more...]

And so it begins…
The Advanced Maternal Age Edition My son Joe is working on his Eagle Scout project today. He’s installing a retaining wall at an area women’s shelter—a big job made a bit easier by the help of his father, friends, and various siblings. I have a baby, which means I’m exempt from most forms of manual labor. I baked them revel bars and called … [Read more...]

The "run" that she speaks of is a run for my money, which she gives me every day. {happy} I've decided to take this advice to heart. I'm not getting any younger, after … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
“We've all made mistakes that seem to lead us astray; But every time they helped to get us where we are today.” The Wailin' Jennys, Heaven When We're Home Goals. Do you have them? Do you set them? Are they S.M.A.R.T goals, as in Specific; Measurable; Attainable; Realistic; and Timely? I do. I have lots of goals, and eating … [Read more...]
The Face of Four
The "George" Edition We planned on doing a local water park yesterday, this despite the Arctic temps. (When the mercury hit 70, we knew we could do it. Still, the ol' lips were turning blue!) Normally, we don't do the local water park...it's pricey; we're broke; you know the drill...but there was a free event last night hosted by several local … [Read more...]
