MSB {21}: Ugh.  The Beatitudes

,

I took the oldest two to Mass today, so I was able to hear the whole homily.  The wheelchair accessible pew was even open.  Yay! I tried something new for My Sunday Best.  I’ve been watching a lot of Hilary Rushford from Dean Street Society, and one of her tips is shopping your closet for […]

Free Massages for Life?!?!

,

  Our Journey to Melt A couple years ago, I saw an advertisement for a couples’ massage program.  It was recommended by another Catholic mom.     I was curious.  Hopeful. David and I were in a tough place.  Cee had been diagnosed with SOJIA for about two years.  The daily shots I had to […]

Library Love {10}

Welcome back to the library haul link up!   Here are some of the winners from our library basket from the last few weeks.  (Although the goal is to suggest materials for your family’s next library trip, if you happen to order something using these Amazon links, we receive a small commission at no cost […]

MSB {20}:  Adventures of Captain Surly and The Nanny Duck

My (Saturday Night) Sunday Best! We visited another parish this week for Mass on Saturday night, and Moe fell asleep on the 40ish minute drive there.  That meant he was still waking up during most of Mass.  He wakes up hard.  And slowly.  So although he looked surly, he was quiet and still for almost […]

[…]

MSB {19}:  Transition-y Decor

  This is me.  In my Sunday best.  The shirt is from Lands’ End.  The pants are from a magical Dia Box. Now that that’s out of the way, we can get on to the real stuffs.     We got a new hand-me-down couch that didn’t really flow with our current gallery wall, and […]

A Tuesday Haiku

,

Stomach bug is here. All plans fly out the window. Better luck next week. We’ll leave it at that, or I’ll risk crossing the line into “too much info.” If you’re looking for more to read, check out some of the JEI linkup greatest hits: chores, mom self-care, and school stuffs. We’ll push back our […]

MSB {18}: Christmas Program

,

For the past few years our parish has held the Christmas program at the tail end of the Christmas season.  Like today.  January 8th.  It’s nice because the rush, rush, rush of Christmas has passed.  It’s hard because lots of people have sort of moved on from Christmas already.  (While liturgically appropriate, it feels sort […]
