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 [...]
Ash Wednesday
Lent officially begins today, and I’ve already had a rough day. I think it’s one part due to pregnancy hormones and one part due to the Other Side not liking what all is going on. Greg, Elise, and I all made it to Mass for our ashes (Elise thought our ashes were OH SO FASCINATING, [...]
Lent 2010
I think a conclusion has finally been reached with what I’m going to do for Lent. Since I’m pregnant (and my OB has expressed that I do NOT need to be losing weight in this final stretch) and will be nursing; I am exempted from the Lenten fasts relating to food. Or rather, I get [...]
Our Lady of Lourdes
Today is the memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes. You could say that I have a devotion to St. Bernadette (my patron!) and Our Lady of Lourdes, because they are apart of my journey Home. It’s amusing – to me at least – that St. Bernadette led me to Our Lady of Lourdes, who in [...]
Mind vs. Heart
Matthew 6:25-34 really needs to be my focus for the next 5 weeks. I have been overwhelmed with worry and anxiety, mainly with Little One. Everything is fine, fine, fine at the last pre-natal appointment; but I’m overly concerned about whether or not the baby is head down. My OB will check at the next [...]
Small Successes for February 4th
1. I delinted the bathroom today! Our dryer vents into the bathroom, so I’m forever delinting most of our little apartment. The bathroom is especially frustrating, as lint gets into everything and eventually it’s like walking into a sock, or perhaps someone’s navel. I finally had enough (or maybe had some nesting energy) and delinted [...]
