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 [...]

 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?)

In celebration of a lot of things (good health screening results, cativity-free AND freak-out free dental appointment for me, drywall progress) I present: pictures! Our feast of St. Scholastica included this book:Elise thought the book was about her brother. Every picture she would point to St. Benedict and say “Brudder! Brudder!” Our Lady of [...] “Our prayer life provides the strength and grace that is so necessary for the survival for a healthy and happy family. A Christian mother finds that it is essential to transform her life into a prayer. Yet, she knows that she can’t spend her day on her knees in prayer. She’s not living in [...] While most of the country is watching the Super Bowl, I’m blogging. 3 – St. Blaise. We celebrated by having Monsignor over for dinner and received the blessing of throats. Thank you, Monsignor!! 10 – St. Scholastica. I really like this litany to St. Scholastica. 11 – Our Lady of Lourdes. Another white [...] Yeah, I know; January is pretty much half over. But, better late than never, right? Janaury is devoted to the Holy Name of Jesus. Here’s what’s in store for the rest of the month. We celebrated Mary, Mother of God; Epiphany, and the Baptism of Our Lord in the first half of it. [...] 1. I need to make some gluten-free chocolate chip cookies for Elise’s Baptismal anniversary (tomorrow!) and some GF pepparkakur cookies for Christmas. 2. Go the extra mile in being charitable, especially with those closest to me. 3. Continue to not stress about the final days of Advent and Christmas. Thanks be to God I [...] Yesterday, we had a delightful celebration of St. Nicholas. I managed to pull off a gluten free version of the pepparkakor cookies. They turned out practically identical to their non gluten-free counterparts. Mmmm, mmm, mmmmmm. Elise colored a color page of St. Nicholas and I told her all about him. We also read his [...] 6 – St. Nicholas: We plan on exchanging the bulk of our gifts (to each other and to the kids) on this day. Like last year, I want to make a batch of my most favorite cookies – peppakakur – using my mom’s recipe (which came from her mom). Although I get to experiment [...] Now that it is December, Elise and I cleared off our faith board and set it up for December. I had a brilliant idea to put all my holy cards into baseball card holders, and while cleaning I found tabbed dividers for each month. I organized my holy cards per month based on feast [...] Figure out a wheat-free menu plan for Elise. I checked out this book from the library and have found a lot of great recipes in it to try. Benedict’s Godmother sent us some wheat-free recipes, as well. I’ll post the menu once I figure it out. Clean up! Yesterday we had a water [...] |
