Happy feast of the Immaculate Conception! Are you finding the logistics of getting everyone to Mass a bit tricky? We are too, but it's always worth it. So we set up our tree last night, my husband and I, after the kids had gone to bed. I think it's beautiful before it's trimmed; in truth, I prefer it, but that's just me. When my … [Read more...]
An Advent Challenge
It's not what you think, my Advent challenge, because I have shamelessly lured you into this post with what appears to be a very cozy photo. My two little men cuddled up together...in Momma's recliner...perusing a book on the saints, perhaps? No. Let me forewarn you, dear friend of the heart. The internet is not what it appears to be! In … [Read more...]
Food for Thought on Easter Friday
~ This post is dedicated to Karen Edmisten, a dear friend and one of my favorite converts. : ) It was she that introduced me to Daily with De Sales...and it is she that has a birthday today! Happy Birthday, Karen!! "You recognize thousands of imperfections and failings in yourself, contrary to your desire for purity and perfect love of … [Read more...]
On a Lighter Note…
(and that is not a reference to my weight...) We made a cake for the feast of Saint George yesterday! A dragon cake, as per Charlotte's tutorial. (We all hacked off a body part. We slayed the dragon and served him up on china.) (I got the butt.) (I didn't mind.) Now, if you're like me when I used to read posts like this, you're … [Read more...]
On the 12th Day of Christmas…
...someone's decided that he's quite enough celebrating, thankyouverymuch. That would be a white chocolate-dipped pretzel, by the way. Minus most the chocolate. Little does this kid know that we're still celebrating! Indeed, we're having his very own godparents over tomorrow to celebrate...wait for it...his first birthday that was, like, … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas!

Crazy-Busy but Beautiful
The "Ack! Advent's passing!" Edition I. So we tried to take a Christmas card photo after Mass last Sunday. I am, if nothing else, ambivalent about the results. And what about poor little Baby Francis Waldo? Typical Number Seven, fighting for his place in the sun. II. Speaking of "Baby" Francis... The kid is keeping me on my … [Read more...]
Am I not your mother?
What do you love most about today's feast? Is it the beautiful, colorful, miraculous image? Is it the humility--the littleness--of Saint Juanito Diego? Or is it the very good excuse to eat good Mexican food? Pour me another margarita, please. Even though I am French (100 percent!) I love and lean on Our Lady of Guadalupe. In fact, just … [Read more...]
In Little Things and Big Things
...we are making our way towards the King. Point the First: This man. On Monday Father Andrew Cozzens became Bishop Andrew Cozzens. That would be a big thing. Not surprisingly, the Cathedral was packed. This was my view: Here. I'll zoom in a bit as a courtesy. Pretty cool, huh? I thought so. This man. Bishop Andrew Cozzens. … [Read more...]
Praying WORKS.
{emphasis mine} First things first though. The Kindle edition of The Baker's Dozen: A Saint Nicholas Tale is available for $.01 at Amazon today!!! That said. I'll be back later to update this post and tell you how I know that praying works. As if finding that deal on Amazon this morning wasn't enough. Afternoon Update: Sorry about the … [Read more...]
