 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 [...] Farmer John arrives at the Nativity on January 5th, announcing the arrival of the Wise Men on January 6th. A most blessed Epiphany of the Lord! 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 [...] Guess what I’ve done all day. It involves boxes. And many trips in the car with said boxes full of stuff. And eventually emptying said boxes into our beautiful new house, and repeating the process. The City re-inspected our house this morning and signed off at about 0915. Major Dad told me at 0920, [...] Hooray! It’s the feast of St. Benedict today! Being a Benedictine Oblate and having a Benedictine son, it’s a very happy day today! My personal preference is that we celebrate both St. Benedict’s days – the Death of St. Benedict in March and then his feast day -today – on the revised calendar. In [...] I’m trying something new – writing what we did for feasts as opposed to what I wanted to do. Benedict’s Baptismal anniversary was April 11th. I didn’t have a chance to light his Baptismal candle, but we did light a candle and had a lovely treat to celebrate his anniversary. My Confirmation anniversary [...] I like to think we had fun, despite overtired babies and a broken washing machine (which has been upgraded to a shiny new MAYTAG). I wanted to make paper shamrocks with Elise but that did not happen, due to the broken washing machine. But, I did get the food done! We didn’t do corned [...] 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, [...] 9 – Ash Wednesday. We’ll be receiving our ashes. 14 – Greg’s birthday. It’s entirely up to him what he wants to do, so I’m not going to put anything here! 15 – Benedictus turns ONE! Since my Dad is overseas, we’re not even thinking of a party until he returns. But, I’ll whip [...] Milestone #1: Elise is back on the growth charts!! She had a weight/height check on Tuesday, and we were shocked with just how big she’s grown. Since August she’s gained three inches and three pounds (I’m sure the bulk of that was since November, since we went gluten-free). The doctor’s FNP suggested we give [...] |
