 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?)

One of the things I love about the New Year is that the blogosphere is abuzz with everyone’s favorite books from 2011, and their recommendations for books to read in 2012. Allow me to jump on the bandwagon. Last year I read 49 books. Which isn’t bad, considering if you look at my “Books [...] Degas, Ballet Rehearsal (source) Elise and I went to the ballet recently. A quintessential “mother and daughter” activity. We went with Greg’s Mom, so it was a “grandma/daughter in law/granddaughter” activity. The ballet was The Nutcracker, performed by a local dance company of girls (and a few guys) ages 4 to 17. It [...] 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 [...] After writing this post, everything was great. Well, as great as they could be. Greg and I made the decision to not have a follow-up ultrasound, based on my physical recovery. If you know the details of our first loss, recovery physically was pretty much identical to that. And if you don’t, let me [...] Thank you all for your prayers. We are doing “okay” over here. Yesterday was a particularly hard day for me, because I think things became more real. Not as if I was living in denial but I think the realization that “oh, we lost the baby. We’re not pregnant.” made it through to every [...] I woke up Thursday (the day, the washer, died! Sing it with me!) and had no idea what day it was. At first, I thought it was Rosary Group day, then Sunday, then realized it was Thursday. It was a little disconcerting to experience that again – I had experienced enough of it in [...] Our plans: Lent Chain: I cut 40 strips of paper, and wrote two ideas on each strip. One hard idea (for Greg and me) and an easy one (for Elise). (since I hung it up in the kitchen, both kids love looking at it while we eat ) It also doubles as a countdown, [...] Not long after my 24th birthday, I established this blog. I’ve been writing online my life for a while … since at least 1999. Most of the “old days” are defunkt or backed up to my hard drive. This particular blog wasn’t intended to be a standalone blog, but rather a blog for sorting [...] A blessed 2011 to all! Each year I try to make resolutions, goals, ideals; whatever – and they always seem to fall flat. This year, I’d like to take another crack at it. I’d like to change things, though. I have some goals in mind, but they all can be summed up as such: [...] |
