And may I say that I’m nervous, but excited? You may remember that I attended a Catholic homeschooling conference in Atlanta this year, and had the privilege of speaking with Laura Berquist. She said something at that conference that I truly believe was one of the sole reasons for me to be there: ————————————————————————– “Jesus … [Read more…]
Because sometimes, imagination just isn’t enough. Make sure to visit Awkward Family Photos!! [h/t Rachel at Testosterhome]
What do you do when you’re becoming anemic? If you are me, you look for recipes with blackstrap molasses, of course! (wait a minute, you’re thinking. It’s 100 degrees down there in South Carolina right now! Shouldn’t you be sitting on chairs, drinking mint juleps and munching on cucumber sandwiches under a magnolia tree? What … [Read more…]
Sigh. I really didn’t want to have to EVER write about these things again, but here it is. Some of you who have stuck with this blog for awhile (and I REALLY thank you!) may remember the horrible series of panic attacks (here, here, here, and here) I had in the hospital after giving birth … [Read more…]
I know everyone has been breathlessly awaiting to hear what phone I finally decided on! I took the plunge and bought an iPhone. First, I goofed and let my iPAQ battery completely run out.

If someone could kindly direct me to a website where I could learn all I need to know about raising (almost) teenagers, and getting them to clean up after themselves, I would be most appreciative. Sigh. Yeah, it’s been one of those days. I hit the wall sometime this afternoon, and Reilly got to hear … [Read more…]
We are a drawing family. My kids draw EVERY DAY without fail. The first thing that is placed on the kitchen table in the morning isn’t breakfast… it’s a pile of paper and the pencil box. So it was no surprise that I came into the kitchen and Thomas (age 6) said, “Look, Mommy, here’s a … [Read more…]
I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy, obviously! The strawberry season is winding down, but I was able to get myself going this past weekend and make TWO batches of strawberry jam! That bumps our total to twenty jars of strawberry jam (since we opened one already and ate it). What does one do with that … [Read more…]
