7 Quick Takes: December 30, 2011 (Vol. 106)

~ 1 ~ In the week that has passed since my last 7 Quick Takes, I feel so different.  Just so much older. Okay, not really.  I mean, I don’t feel older, but I most definitely am older than I was when I wrote it last week. Hello, 35!  As a number, you sound nicer [...]

Personal Shopping from Betty Beguiles

Today at Catholic Mothers Online, I’m sharing about my personal shopping experience with Betty Beguiles.  Go over and read about it, plus check out the super cute Inspiration Board that consists of a total of four outfits, once some mixing and matching is done. Hello, pumpkin colored skirt!  You are so, so cute! Read about [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 1, 2011 (Vol. 76)

~ 1 ~ We went to Once Upon a Child this week to get a “new” pair of jeans for Noah.  He tried on a few, and used some very interesting adjectives to describe some pairs.  Amongst those were that one pair was “wide” and another pair was “fluffy.”  I realized that wide just meant [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 20, 2011 (Vol. 71)

~ 1 ~ Jack and I got over the flu!  WooHoo! Oh, but then it seems that Eric picked up something at work, brought it home, and the two of us whose immune systems were already working overtime just couldn’t take it any longer.  So, that’s right — Jack and I were sick, got better, [...]

Embracing Individuality

I must be up front and say that Molly drives me crazy sometimes. She’s six years old and she does six year old kinds of things.  She screams like someone is doing her serious bodily injury when the string comes off her balloon.  When everyone else is in bed, she declares that she has neither [...]

7 Quick Takes: October 22, 2010 (Vol. 57)

~ 1 ~ This week, we did our first “Project Day” for school.  I plan to post more about it later.  But, one of my favorite things about the day was when Noah said, “Mom – I love Project Day!  You know how to make school so much fun.” Of course, he doesn’t normally say [...]

The Dress Code in Purgatory

I was chatting with my other friend Amanda (not to be confused with the friend I usually refer to as “my friend Amanda”) while we watched our daughters in gymnastics.  I quickly grabbed my phone to take a picture as Molly went down into the splits.  I wanted to show Eric, because we had never [...]

How to Clean Out Your Closet and Sort Through Your Wardrobe

A few years ago, if you looked in my closet, you would think that I had a ton of clothes.  And, really – I did.  You could have seen them.  I was using every spare inch of my long closet rod, plus a short rod as well (for pants, dresses, and skirts). While this sounds [...]

Is It Juice or Short Pants?

Molly typically wears dresses throughout the summer, but every so often, we can coax her into a pair of shorts or capri pants. One day, in what was a surprise request, Molly said, “I want to wear my Capri Sun pants today.” Despite repeated corrections, she continued to call them Capri Sun pants most of [...]

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 [...]
