Make Ahead Gift: Handmade Christmas Scrapbook

Yes, I am aware that I’m posting a Christmas scrapbook project and it’s the end of June.  While this may seem a little funny, this is about the time that I started this project last year.  I made eight of these albums (five square ones, two circles, and one rectangle, because I was just trying [...]

Ten Reasons I Love My Husband

1. He is a good husband. He doesn’t usually fuss at me, even though he probably has reason to do it.  He is supportive and understanding. 2. He is an excellent father. Sure, I do fear that if I wasn’t around for several days the kids might exist on chicken nuggets, macaroni & cheese, and [...]

Oh no! Not the Popsicle Privileges!

This year was the first time that the kids have gone to Vacation Bible School where I didn’t stay and volunteer.  Two of the days of VBS week found me hanging out in a local Panera chatting on Facebook working on my blogs. On the first day I was there, two mothers came in with [...]

7 Quick Takes: June 25, 2010 (Vol. 44)

~ 1 ~ This is now the third month in a row where I have spent a week (or more) out of state.  Quite frankly, I’m pretty exhausted now.  I have been admonishing myself for getting so far behind in many things in my life (online and offline).  But, I guess when I have spent [...]

Finding Educational Activities in the Most Unexpected Places eBook on Sale

Where in the world has this year gone?  As I look at the calendar, I can’t believe that the year will be half over so soon. To mark this (almost) half way mark, as well as an homage to my glee in being back home after a week without Internet access (although it was also [...]

The One Where I Write a Post From My iPod Touch

{I was so pleased to write this in the doctor’s office one day.  Unfortunately, the title was all I was able to do from my iPod Touch.  I never could manage to make it allow me to actually write a post.  So sad.  The End.}

Hasta La Vista, Germs

One day, after a trip into the store, the boys were using some hand sanitizer in the van.  They got to the point where I suspected that they had used way too much.  Finally, in what I felt would be a sign to them that it was quite enough, I asked, “Hey — are you [...]

Many Little Links: June 19, 2010

Hey, long time no see, Many Little Links!  I can’t remember the last time that I posted one of these.  It’s not that I’m not reading blogs or enjoying them, I just think that I’ve been feeling pretty scattered lately. Yay! Moosh in Indy Dot Com – Moosh in Indy If you are a blogger, [...]

7 Quick Takes: June 18, 2010 (Vol. 43)

~ 1 ~ This week, my kids attended Vacation Bible School.  They had such a good time!  Can I just admit that I am such a softie that I get choked up watching all of the kids at VBS dancing and singing about things like God being their hero? It’s just so wonderful to see. [...]

A Reflection on Reconciliation From a Child

We have now been Catholic for just over three years, and I have been to the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) many times.  Perhaps not as often as is good for me, but I am always going a minimum of twice a year. Still, every time I go, I get nervous. Often, I think, “Oh man [...]
