The Emails of My Life

I’ve been trying to clean out my email account, after I realized I have mail dating back to 2004 in there. Most of it can go, since there’s no need to have emails that old in my account. I had some time to do so this morning and it was interesting to watch old emails [...]

Small Successes – 4.22.10

1. Yesterday, I took both kids on my own to two stores. And it wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating it to be. Granted, it took over 90 minutes; but hey, we got things accomplished. 2. I made a wrap for Benedict, since the Ergo + insert is a little bit … much for [...]

It’s like canceling your birthday!

I’m almost ready to pull the plug on my Facebook profile for the sake of simplicity and helping me to be less narcissistic and hopefully better my relationship with God. I went through and deleted friends so that I could message family easier. It’s been really amusing watching various reactions come in from my news. [...]

Unplugging

I’ve been reflecting and thinking about things as of late – mainly, THE INTERNETS. Like most people, I have this blog, my saving money blog, Facebook, and some side projects. I’ve been praying a lot about my use of THE INTERNETS, this blog in particular. I enjoy writing it (even if I can’t find time [...]

Seven Quick Takes, Afternoon Edition

1. Yesterday was my 4th Catholicversary. I was received into the Church April 15, 2006. I thank God for the gift of my Conversion – I have never had a deeper relationship with Our Lord than Him truly present in the Eucharist, and so much grace God has given me in these last four years. [...]

Oh, hi!

I’ve been trying to figure out what to write for … a while now. It seems like I’m in some weird fog of writer’s block, which happens quite regularly around these parts. I can’t for the life of me figure out why it comes so often. Eh. We’re all doing quite well around these parts. [...]

A Fruitful Lent

Today is the Third Monday of Lent, and I’ve had ample opportunity to reflect on how Lent has been thus far. One on hand, it’s been a harder Lent than usual, thanks to random bouts of Braxton-Hicks contractions, the effects on me physically, mentally, and spiritually that being this pregnant has had, and a few [...]

Catholicism and the Marines

Another one of those posts from the “better than I can say it” department: Why I Am Catholic: Because He Didn’t Promise Us A Rose Garden

Fools for Christ

One of the books I’m utilizing this Lent is Lenten Meditations with Fulton J. Sheen. Each day has a short quote from Archbishop Sheen, and a verse from Sacred Scripture that reflects what he’s trying to convey. I particularly like today’s: One of the beautiful effects of hope is that it relieves us of the [...]

A Few Thoughts on Homemaking

Exspectantes posted a post yesterday afternoon that really has me thinking. Her thoughts on making a home, especially why it’s so important to her. I suppose this isn’t shocking to anyone, but my mom is the typical ‘Type A personality’ (which is something her and I get a lot of laughs out of). I’m somewhat [...]
