O Christmas Tree
We decided to set up our tree this past Sunday instead of waiting for the 4th Sunday of Advent. Granted, our little tree isn’t much to set up, but we had fun. Elise had fun playing with the lights before we strung them on our tree. We had to use my box of fabric to [...]
Mmm, technology
In the grand scheme of things, I find it funny how a 3 year old laptop that once had a beer spilled into it works better than my 18-month old laptop. The younger laptop had been flaking out, and today it decided to give up the ghost. Greg thinks the motherboard is shot. Fun! I [...]
Want some cloth diaper reviews?
I’m starting to do them over at my Saving Money blog. I’ve got some diapers coming for Elise to try out, but I’ve posted my thoughts on the Thirsties covers that Elise has been using since we started cloth diapering.
7 Quick Takes, Miscellaneous Edition

There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church….As a matter of fact, if we Catholics believed all of the untruths and lies which were said against the Church, we probably would hate [...]
For the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception…
Lovely Lady dressed in blue Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, Tell me what to say! Did you lift Him up, sometimes, Gently on your knee? Did you sing to Him the way Mother does to me? Did you hold His hand at night? Did you ever try Telling stories [...]
Compare and Contrast
25 weeks and 3 days with Elise: 25 weeks and 3 days with Little One: And I wonder why I have so much more back pain earlier than when I was pregnant with Elise.
Advent, Week 1
I’ve been reflecting on Advent thus far, given that we’re already in the Second Week of Advent. Greg and I both made Advent resolutions, and it has been in adventure in the continuing conversion St. Benedict calls us to. Some days are really good, some days aren’t so good; but each day we pick up [...]
