2T Blue Jeans and a Size 6 Shirt…

Yes, that is what Molly Katherine is wearing right now. How wrong is that? And, no, my daughter does not have a freakishly long torso. She is just your average about to be three years old little girl. This combination has more to say about what our society tells us about modesty than it says [...]

It wouldn’t be cool to be toliet paper

Today, Jack said to me (after going to the bathroom): It wouldn’t be cool to be toliet paper. Toliet paper can’t talk.

A little hello to anyone from our RCIA group

In case anyone drops by from the RCIA group at our parish — Hello! Everyone going through RCIA is asked to keep a journal, and so at our first meeting, I talked about journaling and the importance of it. But, I told them also that I preferred blogging to keeping an actual paper notebook, and [...]
