Life as a Catholic wife and mother

The Home Management Binder

After much discussion, Greg and I decided to rock the Home Management Binder. Mainly for the whole “everything in one place” factor. We do have a great system worked out with the bills, and it would be nice to start figuring out what kind of an organizational system will work the best for us, before [...]

Brrrrrrrr!

Our local forecast is predicting lows as cold as -21*F, into the -40*F and -50*F with wind chill. I am very grateful we made it to Mass tonight as opposed to tomorrow. Heck, I don’t think we would have gone tomorrow, depending on the temps. I also am grateful for this: The real wood stove. [...]

My Love for Skirts

I realized a little while ago that here it is, mid-December in Montana and I’m still wearing skirts. I started wearing them daily back when I was pregnant with Elise. May, I think? Either way, the only time between when I started wearing them daily and now was when I was coming home from the [...]

Our Lady of Guadalupe

And while I did finally understand [...]

Snow everywhere, but not enough to make driving an issue (that was last week, hee hee). I am thinking… that Elise must be [...]

Daddy/Daughter Bonding Time

3.5 Months Later…

I can’t believe it’s already December. I also can’t believe Elise is almost 3.5 months old. It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with her, and eventually in labor at the hospital. Looking back, I don’t remember much about labor other than it was incredibly painful, hitting transition with all the fun that [...]

Simple Woman’s Daybook: Hodge-podge Edition

As always, you can find more Daybooks over at Peggy’s place. :> FOR TODAY December 1, 2008… Outside my window… It’s pitch black. Apparently we’re supposed to get some snow tonight, but none has arrived yet. I am thinking… About bills, bills, bills. Unfortunately. I am thankful for… the nice person I talked to at [...]
