What do you know? I'm over halfway there. It's both killing me AND making me stronger. (This kid, too, is both killing me and making me stronger.) (What a little stink he is!) (But extremely cute, so he gets away with it.) The thing about blogging daily is--actually, there are LOTS of things, but the big one for me is … [Read more...]
Asked & Answered
My Responses to all your Burning Questions :P So that was interesting. Kind of. Not really? Yesterday was just hard in general. I cried at Mass because everyone--my kids included--just barreled out the door after the final blessing, except for one sweet man in a Vikings jersey. Head bent low over his clasped hands, he was oblivious to … [Read more...]
Ask the Blogger
This is probably as lame an entry as you're gonna get, but really. Before agreeing to my "30 Posts in 30 Days" lunacy, I should have taken into account: 1. Who writes blog posts on a Sunday? and 2. Who READS blog post on a Sunday? Not me! I'm too busy huggin' my kids. So today's a gimme, as in, gimme what you got. Is there a … [Read more...]
A Quick Cute Kid Story and a Very Special Prayer Request
I mentioned that my friend Sarah was in town over my birthday. She brought with her (all the way from Alaska, no less), her husband Brian; her daughter Helen, her son Allister, her son Ian, her son Oliver, her daughter Zita, and her baby Emory. It was a houseful, and it was good. The food! The fun! The chaos! The laughter! We hadn't seen … [Read more...]
A Beautiful Feast, a Brand New Month…
...and one or two leftover spooky thoughts. I am inordinately fond of our kitchen calendar. I love turning the page on the first day of the month and seeing the new month's illustration, which is always bright, happy and fills me with hope. Hope is good. I'll take a plateful, please. A new month brings with it new goals, like the one … [Read more...]
Baby Steps for a Big Baby: 7 Things I Did this Summer to Feel like Less of a Failure
Or: On How to Stop Over-eating, Over-worrying, Over-EVERYTHING, for crying out loud! You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging. There are at least two good reasons for this decision, seven of which I'm going to detail here. (?) The truth is, I was (trying to) squeeze every last moment of merit from the summer that flew by...and as … [Read more...]
What the what?! I’m over here at WordPress!
And though I haven't a CLUE what I'm doing just yet... I feel like a kid at the playground. It's fun! But I'm lost. :P Come over and say hi if you have a chance. Better yet, give me a hefty push up this learning curve. It's steep and I'm old but what the heck? … [Read more...]
Alive not Dead: an Adventure through Life
As sponsored by Netflix. (Kudos to them for this post.) Last night it happened yet again. I hit bottom, my weekly date with despair! (What? I am nothing if not an Honest Blogger. Thus the label on this post.) (In last night's case, I broke down and called myself a "crap mom." My husband, exasperated, walked out of the room.) Look, … [Read more...]
In His Hand
aka This Pilgrim's Progress One of the problems I have with blogging is that I have quite literally hundreds of things to say. Right now (and thankfully for YOU), I'll focus on just a few of them. First, no matter where we're at right now, God's got this. He's holding us close in the palm of His hand. He loves us and wants nothing more than … [Read more...]
Please Read This
Why? Why should you read this? That's what I'm trying to figure out, and I'm trying really hard not to be a pill about it. "You just did a survey! What more do you want?!" That's a good question. Here are the facts: My blog is about to change a bit, because I'm (finally) making the jump the WordPress. More on that later. I … [Read more...]
