The Zelie Group is launching a monthly thematic linkup. This is a much more open-ended way to stay connected, and I look forward reading different reflections on the same theme. In January we’re talking “quiet.” Feel free to link up your quiet post below. I’ve heard whispers, legends, stories of moms who are able […]
As I’ve been reviewing my life choices and discerning the future, I’ve slowed down my blogging. You can read more about that here if you missed it. But I didn’t want to miss My Sunday Best, because I actually managed to get a picture! Just now I’ve told the kids to “go downstairs and don’t come […]
Welcome to the weekly link up, Just Enough Info (JEI). The internets can be a great source of community, and I’d love to get to know you better! Feel free to share your answers in the comments or link up if you have a blog. Faith Formation 1. Do your children attend your parish’s religious education program? […]
Participants in “Write 31 Days” pledge to write for 30 minutes on a single topic every day in October. My topic? Happiness. Today is Sunday. In the past I’ve participated in the “My Sunday Best” link up hosted by Rosie. If you visit that link, you’ll see a list of reasons why someone like me who […]
Seven Quick Takes of Randomness! 1- Wacko Wisdom We’ve never actually started a list of the crazy things that we say as parents. We should. Usually it’s some sort of “wisdom” said with a straight face that we laugh about later. “Actually, it’s considered impolite to eat your soup with fingers.” “You can’t go outside without […]
My Sunday Best with The Pew Boss I have enjoyed linking up with My Sunday Best because it’s a means to swap Mass survival stories. But– I’m getting a little tired of posting the same picture of myself over and over. I <3 Lands’ End and have been rotating their fit and flare dresses all summer. (They […]
If this is your first time stopping by, be sure to subscribe through email —–> or through bloglovin. 🙂 Mass. With kids. (cue the most terrifying music ever known to humankind) The last two weeks we’ve resumed attending as a family after trying for the past yearish to split up so Moe didn’t go regularly. […]
Today was a big day, because Cee received her First Communion! It was a happy, happy day. Cee looked beautiful, and she was so excited to receive Jesus. Whew. We didn’t know if we would make it to this point. There were times we honest-to-goodness didn’t know if Cee would make it to ANY of the milestones we […]
Have you seen the previews for the movie “Miracles from Heaven?” I saw one, and it looks like Jennifer Garner plays me in it. Okay, she actually plays a woman named Christy Beam, but there are some similarities in our lives: a daughter’s terrifying, sudden-onset illness. A million questions. No answers. A crisis of faith. Hope. […]
Cee is at the hospital with David getting her most recent infusion. She still has that lingering cough, but the rheumatologist said to go ahead with the infusion as scheduled. So we did. We can’t risk putting it off indefinitely because of one isolated symptom. Infusions have become pretty routine, but the cough throws a wrench […]
