One of the things I love about This New House is the room. We are finally “settled in” and so now I get to roll up my sleeves and tackle some of the more long-term projects. One of the things I have been dieing to take care of are toys. The majority of the [...]

 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?)

I like to think I’m not totally insane for deciding that 0530 is a good time to wake up. In fact, I end up getting a lot accomplished. And, I’ve been faithful to that wake-up time for two weeks now. It hasn’t been easy – waking up early means going to bed early. It [...] Lacy over at Catholic Icing posted this very cute, very simple “jewel cake” for St. Basil’s day. We had a lot of fun assembling it and of course, eating it! Elise was especially thrilled with the jewels inside! Our jewels waiting to be jewel-i-fied. Elise helping by making sure [...] So, it’s Christmas. It’s been a fun Christmas, except for that dull ache inside me. It’s so hard not to have that ache, when the entire world is focused on the birth of an Infant. It’s hard not to think “boy, I would be 32 or 36 weeks pregnant right now … we would [...] The other day, I had an epiphany. I’m sure I’m the last person on the planet to figure this out, but at least I figured it out. My problem was a simple one: why, despite having quiet time for the kids and myself; do I feel so burned out by the end of the [...] Greg and I have spent the last couple of weeks purging like we’ve never purged before. Yesterday we hauled the fruits of our purge to the local Goodwill – literally about half of our possessions. That’s the brunt of it, there are still a few small bags left to purge; but the most of [...] Now that the house is done, what will I write about? Like I have any shortage of things to write about: * perfectionism: how it can benefit me, how it can hurt me, and its proper place in my life * I joined the parish Choir, which means I have plenty of musical escapades [...] We had a blast on our vacation. We went to Washington state! The last time I was there was on a highschool orchestra tour. It was nice to explore without a rigid schedule or chaperone. Our agenda was simple: relax. We did just that. We did take in some sights, checked out the local [...] It’s still a race between what will happen first: finishing our house or going on our vacation. We received some very encouraging news from a neighbor of ours who is a builder about just what we need to have completed to pass the last inspection. It’s a lot less than what we were expecting [...] I know, I’ve said that about the house for the last two weeks. We are making much progress. Yesterday we managed to get the kitchen and the master suite move-in ready. We’re busy working on installing trim throughout the rest of the house – and that’s it. The basement still needs drywall, but when [...] |
