1. Our house is like, a HOUSE! The walls + truss people came in on Wednesday and in the span of 1.5 work days, our house went from a basement with walls to an entire HOUSE, complete with stairs and interior walls. Greg, Elise, and I took a tour of it yesterday and I’m [...]

 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?)

As someone who was a former music major (and detested composing), this video is really quite cool. Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). [...] I don’t think Greg and I imagined that by our second anniversary, we would have two kids, plus one little Saint in Heaven. But hey, I’m (definitely) not complaining! Happy anniversary to my better half!! ♥ Image thanks to the always awesome James Ridle, who did our entire wedding (and engagement [...] Part two of Marigold’s question – the nuts and bolts of Oblate life. You can see what being an Oblate means to me here to get a better feeling of where I’m coming from. I think it’s important for me to add my disclaimer, which I’ve thoroughly grown to love: I have not had [...] One of my biggest problems is my temper. Growing up, tempers in my family were excused because “it’s how you are” and therefore, unchangeable. After beginning my conversion I came to a different view of things like tempers – that they’re apart of you but not unchangeable. I don’t want Elise and Company to [...] Elise erupted 4 teeth in the span of a week. Since these 4 teeth aren’t as beefy as her top fronts, she’s only needed the Hyland’s teething tablets for pain relief. I’m pretty sure Elise would get Teether of the Year award, if one existed. Her teeth count is up to 8, which [...] The City is replacing the water main that runs underneath our street. I currently feel like the road – all dug up with a bunch of heavy equipment sitting on me. In a good way, though; not in a “I’m being crushed to death!” way. We have snow already (seriously!) so I need [...] 1. I totally love little “love notes from God”. Today, I received a card from my mom that had a little wallet card about Guardian Angels in it. My mom isn’t Catholic and doesn’t celebrate feast days; so I can’t help but smile at the card. Today is the feast of the Guardian Angels, [...] Marigold asked me about being a Benedictine Oblate – how it relates to my everyday life, that sort of thing. That’s quite a simple but loaded question. I think the easiest way to answer this question is to start with the things that attracted me to the Benedictine life. First, it’s important to remember [...] |
