This post contains affiliate links. When my friend Christy announced she was writing a book, I knew I’d buy a copy. She’s so funny and smart that it didn’t matter if it was a nonfiction book on house cats or a dystopian middle grade novel — I’d buy it, no questions. The real book, however, […]
This blurry-ish picture is courtesy of Cee for My Sunday Best. I’m wearing my favorite Lularoe Carly. And here’s the rest of the crew: That about sums it up. Every week, I go into Mass expecting to get a little note from God. (The readings used by the Catholic Church are pre-set. The Catholics […]
We didn’t have any slithering today at Mass. Or major blood gushing. Overall it was not the worst ever, either. I wouldn’t say it was great…I did have to stop Moe from chewing my sweater (because that’s a thing?!?!). And Bea got wiggly, so David took her out for a bit. During consecration Moe was […]
If you’ve been following My Sunday Best for awhile, you know that occasionally I get a little cheat-sy. I’m supposed to post a picture of what I wore to Mass. Well, what I wore this week was pretty much the same as last time. So I offer the substitute picture of me and Bea […]
I have a weird approach to life’s obstacles. I think about the best thing that could happen in any situation, and then also the worst case scenario. Somehow it’s comforting to know that however things actually unfold, it will be somewhere on the spectrum of things I’ve already considered. Maybe I could call it the Outcome […]
Be grateful for your trials, for they will become your greatest blessings. This message has been on display on a maker board in the hallway of the parish which hosts our homeschool co-op. I’ve had to look at for several weeks now. We have little chats, me and the marker board. I walk […]
“What do you hope to get from Cincinnati?” several people have asked about our intent to see a specialist for our 8 year old daughter, Cee. I’m not sure how to respond. A drug trial? Earlier options for hip replacement? In truth, I’m not sure I’m interested in either option. The […]
Thanks for hosting, Rosie! Me: David, will you grab the camera for My Sunday Best? David: Could I take a picture with you? Me: Okay…but who is going to take the picture? Various Kids: Me! I’ll do it! I want to take a picture! We let them take turns. This was the best shot. Poor, […]
Cee’s illness impacts everything. Worries about what the future holds are overwhelming. I’ve enjoyed being able to escape all that by writing about fluffy topics lately. Library books. Clothes. Fluff. It’s all fluff. Yesterday I posted My Sunday Best and concluded that being intentional about what’s in my closet makes me think about clothes less. While […]
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 […]
