In defense of the tongue-in-cheek title of my last post, I do not think I’m a bad mother.I think I’m a darn good mother, actually, though flawed. Very flawed.Is it my pride that makes me think I’m a darn good mommy? Or perhaps my vanity?No. Rather, it is my faith in the assistance of grace; my tremendous love of the people to whom I’ve been … [Read more...]
A Crazy Busy Kind of Life
I have so much to do this weekend that I really have no business blogging.You are thinking, “I have so much to do this weekend that I really have no business reading your blog.”Should we just ditch it all and go for coffee?I’ll give you but one example of the title of this post in action and then I will open up the comments for discussion. ; ) … [Read more...]
Only for Today
Lest you think that my love of Magnificat magazine is unfounded, here is the daily meditation from yesterday, which is every bit as applicable....today.How Much More Will the Father Give1) Only for today, I will seek to live the livelong day positively without wishing to solve the problems of my life all at once.2) Only for today, I will take the … [Read more...]
Hi, my name is Margaret.
And I am a MagnifiMom.I never really knew how addicted I was to my Magnificat magazine until 2 weeks ago, when I went to get the October’s edition out of the drawer where I always kept it and discovered—to my surprise and then my horror—that it wasn’t there.You can imagine the mad scramble that took place over the next few days. To have this happen … [Read more...]
Blog Ambition
A little over a month ago, I decided to take a break from blogging.I am back now, none the wiser but every bit as cheeky.(Ah heck, you’re saying. And for this I’m checking in?)Okay, I lied. I’m totally wiser.Hee.To tell you the truth, (because that’s what I’m here to do), I do feel slightly different. I’m older since I went away, for one thing. … [Read more...]

Everything is Grace
I expected to be entertained by the rousing good thriller that my husband & I watched this weekend. I did not expect to be weeping by the end of it. (You’ve pretty much got me pegged by now, haven’t you. Yes, well, I can be a weepy person.)The movie dealt with some of life’s most complicated themes: the love of a man and his wife grown cold; the … [Read more...]
If not now, then when? (Part II)
If this mom in Minnesota were to jump off a philosophical cliff, would you follow?Because I feel as if that’s where I’m going, first with that last post and now with this one.Hopefully this post will make more sense. I don’t think that Part I was as…cogent as I would have liked.Big sheepish grin. Let me explain.When I think of discipline, I think … [Read more...]
