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?)

Divine Mercy

I’ve been partaking in one of my favorite novenas – the Divine Mercy novena. I love the beauty of novenas, but this one particularly. Granted, I tend to be more drawn to the Mercy of God, thanks in part to my past when I was an atheist. The fruits of the novena are already [...]

The rules are:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. 2. Each player answers the questions about themselves. 3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting [...]

About my visit to the dentist…

Tuesday I had my lovely dental exam. Since I’ve paid money in dental fees to the school, I went to the school’s dental clinic (which is not staffed by dental students, as there’s no dental school here). I went to them after I fell off of my parent’s insurance and couldn’t afford to see [...]

So tired…

I’m feeling quite tired these days … gee, I wonder why!

I have some posts backlogged, such as what I learned from my Lenten sacrifices (it’s an eye-opener, for me at least) and how my dental exam went this morning. Mmm, randomness, good for blogging.

What blog post could be complete without a [...]

Go check it out, as always!

Baby Update: 18 weeks

This morning Greg and I had our monthly checkup for MegaBean. I think s/he gets an upgrade from “MacroBean” since the kicks are a-coming! My blood pressure is good (100/44), my weight is good (128 pounds, for another 4 pounds added in the last month), and nothing abnormal coming out of me (to put [...]

A Very Blessed Easter Triduum

In an attempt to celebrate the Easter Triduum in a more appropriate fashion, I’m ceasing all internet goodness apart from email and the databases I need for a research project. So, I’ll be back at things on Easter Monday.

In the meantime, if anyone is in my neck of the woods and is curious [...]

Catholic Carnival #164

I know I’ve been behind on posting Catholic Carnival links recently. However, the latest Catholic Carnival has been posted. Another fantastic job with fantastic submissions.

Flutters of Life?

I had Greg take a picture of me last night in all my belly glory. I’ll admit it, I was a little surprised to look … pregnant. I am 17 weeks today, so that picture is the 16 weeks 6 days mark. I guess from my viewpoint, I don’t look too pregnant. And since [...]

Spend an Hour with Christ

The Worldwide Hour of Eucharistic Adoration will be held on April 2nd 2008 at 7pm local time. This is the Third Anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s death.

I enjoy Adoration – there’s nothing more peaceful (or moving) than spending any amount of time in the presence of Jesus Christ. Him truly there, the [...]
