Works for Me Wednesday: Recording Your Family History

I have always admired people who kept journals. I, however, am not one of those people. I am one of those people that will buy a gorgeous journal, write in it twice, and then putting it away in a drawer to never see the light of day again. I took some comfort in the fact [...]

Oh…I almost forgot. I see you out there, Tricia.

Okay, perhaps I can’t really “see” you, but I’ll pretend that I can. Hope that the little princess is finally over her cold. It would seem that ours is now developing one. Anyway…since I promised a posting that would call you out, I thought I would post a little ditty from YouTube that I knew [...]

Menu Plan Monday: January 28th Edition

Some carryovers from last week, since we got food out one extra night, and then also took a meal or two from farther along in the month. Monday: Spaghetti with Meatballs Tuesday: Homemade Soup (purchased from local bakery) and Beer Bread Wednesday: Homemade Pizza Thursday: Pancakes Friday: Crockpot Meatballs over Jasmine Rice w/ Steamed Broccoli [...]

Now that’s the right answer!

I thought Father had a great homily tonight at Mass, and gave me a lot to think about. I’ll probably write about that later. Anyway, at one point, he asked something along the lines of “Are you ready to follow how God is leading you?” or the like. From behind us in the pew full [...]

Making Pine Bark (Cracker Candy) — A Journey in Pictures

I took these pictures a few weeks ago, intending to post the recipe and how to make Pine Bark (which I have also heard called Cracker Candy). And, then I just kept putting off posting it. I really enjoy making these because not only are they tasty, but I love all the different visuals of [...]

WFMW: A twist on decorating with family pictures

Sometime last year, I decided that I didn’t like my wall arrangement of photographs in our dining room. It was made up of around seven framed photographs — ranging from 4×6 to 8×10 (and only one of those!). So…first thing — bigger pictures do tend to look better on the wall. So, I knew I [...]

Some Links of Interest…

A couple of these might be a little old (you know, like an entire week or more), but they are still worth reading: 13 Little Ways Our Family is Going Green in 2008 at Tickled Pink (This has finally inspired me to have us start composting, which was something that we had been discussing) Frugal [...]

Menu Plan Monday: January 21st Edition

Several carry overs from last week — since I actually plan a list of meals that is one month at a time (just in list form), we ended up changing some things last minute, but mostly just picked something from the list (with one evening of pizza from out because of two 100% spelling tests [...]

Overheard coming from inside the Thomas Engine tent

“If you just be a good girl, I won’t have to poke you.”

Searching the floor for Jesus

Eric and I have talked before about the fact that Molly will never remember not being Catholic. Since we were all received into the Church when she was just 2 1/2 years old, we just suspected there might even come a time when she might utter the words, “What do you mean we haven’t always [...]
