Here in the Hundred Acre Woods?

As I came home from running a few errands yesterday, Eric said to me (after stepping away from a weather screen on his computer), “You always know it’s going to be bad when the National Weather Service says it’s going to be ‘blustery.’” Eric said that makes him feel like we live in the Hundred [...]

This will be my prayer for my life in 2008

Nicole from 60 Piggies just posted this, and it’s right along the lines of what I think about often, although she expressed it much better than I could have. I’m going to print it out as a reminder for 2008 and pray on it often that I have the strength to change instead of always [...]

Menu Plan Monday: December 31st Edition

Monday: lunch —> Leftovers from Fajita Dinner (from Don Pablo’s); dinner —> Appetizers during New Year’s Eve “party” (it’s a very small party) Tuesday: lunch —> Not sure…probably just something we grab from the kitchen; dinner —> Noah is making dinner tonight for us and Grandma and Papa! He will be making cheese pizzas and [...]

Our Weekend of Freebies at the Store & Almost Free Meals

Had to share some of our freebies and almost freebies from this weekend! First…our dinner last night: We received a $25 gift card to Don Pablo’s for Christmas from Eric’s boss. Along with that, we got a card that is for $5 off a $25 or more purchase (and you can use the card on [...]

How to be a more holy family?

Today is the Feast of the Holy Family, and it’s an important day to focus not only on the Holy Family, but also on what things we can do to be a more holy family. One thing that Eric and I discussed last night was to add daily family prayer to our routine — maybe [...]

Motivated Moms — Are You Ready?

Do you have your 2008 copy of Motivated Moms? I have mine, and I have already printed out most of January and have it on my clipboard. The 2008 planner starts tomorrow!

Excellent Catholic Date Book/Planner

I have posted about these before, but what with it being the end of the year and all, and a time for people to start using new date books, I thought I would post a reminder of these wonderful planners for Catholic men, women, and students. I have had a bad, bad habit of buying [...]

Out of the mouths of babes…

I’m excited to have a new banner for the blog, but it also brings up an important confession that will be told through a very telling statement of Jack’s. We played Monopoly for the first time with the boys earlier this week. Jack had seen that I was the iron last time Eric and I [...]

Video Games Rot The Minds of Children

Seriously. Noah got this game for Christmas, and it has been running on the computer for over four hours now. Really…I must step away from this game and go to bed already. My mind has rotted and my arm hurts.

Hope You’ve Been on the Nice List This Year!

I’ll be taking a bloggy break for a few days, in order to get ready to celebrate Christmas with my family. We have a busy couple of days ahead of us, but I’m hoping to take some time to really appreciate the true meaning of Christmas as well. I hope that everyone has a wonderful [...]
