At a glance I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. ( more?) Contact meBooks read in 2011Books read in 2012

We met with Fr. L today. He recommended we pray the Stations of the Cross and meditate on the seven last words of Christ. He knows that this won’t remove the pain, but rather comfort us and give us reminders that suffering and pain is sanctified. Fr. L also said that he knows we [...]
It has been one week since our little Saint Elisabeth Hope flew home to Heaven. In some sense, it feels like eons since I went to the ER up in my Hometown. In another sense, it feels like it was just yesterday that it became more real that our baby was going home long [...]
The latest and greatest Catholic Carnival is up over at Living Catholicism. Go take a look-see!
I need a break from writing my Archaeology paper (I was mistaken in that it is due today – it’s actually due tomorrow). I have six pages written, and a third of the material that I want to talk about has been well, talked about. I don’t think I will have problems finishing it [...]
Something I’ve been thinking about since we lost Elisabeth has been what we need right now. A lot of people are well-meaning and well-intentioned, and we definitely are grateful and thankful for them. Some people just don’t know what to do, what not to do, etc. I wrote this list as an attempt to [...]
Tomorrow begins the school week. I’m afraid that I am going to have to talk to one of my professors about getting an extension on some homework. I did procrastinate a little bit, but I was intending to do my work during Thanksgiving break … obviously, plans changed severely. It will be nice to [...]
So, a rather large wrench has been thrown into my secret. Probably not surprising to anyone, yes; I was pregnant. I was planning on announcing here after Thanksgiving break, once my parents had been told. Instead, my parents were told about our little one when I called my mom to tell her that I [...]
Tomorrow Greg and I are traveling home for Thanksgiving break. We’ll be back on Saturday. The trip isn’t long, but we recently had snow and we have to travel through a mountain canyon to get to my hometown. :/ Thankfully Greg is driving, but still. Ugh. Prayers for safe travels would be much appreciated. [...]
Catholic Carnivals 144 and 145 are up.
LoveToBeCatholic.com has amazing videos to go check out.
St. Michael’s Media also has great resources to see.
A nice thread about skirts vs. pants going on over at Catholic Answers Forums.
Still plugging along, feeling a little less tired but not substantially better. Next week Greg and [...]
There were two baptisms at Mass tonight. The first little girl cooed and babbled as she was being baptized, which was picked up on Fr. L’s microphone. The second little boy was quite calm and collected throughout the baptism. I love baptisms – I love seeing people become saved by Christ’s sacrifice, marked for [...]
