Merry Christmas, everyone!
I will not be able to post again for a few days, so I wanted to wish everyone who stops by here a very blessed, joyous Christmas!

No knead bread recipe
I found this recipe and video from Homespun Living (a fantastic blog that never fails to inspire me!), and she claims that the recipe really is as easy (and as wonderful) as it looks. I wasn’t going to post this until I had actually tried it, but it seemed too wonderful to keep it to … [Read more…]
I know I’m her Mommy and all
…but that picture of Grace that I posted below is just too cute! Sorry… just thinking out loud…
Free Books
I’m sure you’ve seen this already, but Maureen Wittman (who wrote/compilated the wonderful Catholic Homeschool Companion, which I highly recommend) is giving away free books! Stop by her blog every day and see what book is being given away that day… then email her and see if you win!
What I’m thankful for
This Saturday was the PERFECT sort of day for me — cold, drizzly, filled with shopping, and ending with a hot meal in my snuggly home. Here are some of the things I was thankful for: My fun red shoes that my Mom got me last year. They keep my feet toasty warm, which is … [Read more…]

…when you’re trying to homeschool? Christopher (my 5-yr old) found the perfect solution: You make her a bed in the hamper, complete with pillow, blanket, and various toys. Surprisingly, she loved it!
Feast: Our Lady of Guadalupe
I’d love to say that we’ve got great activities planned for today, but that’s not possible this year… so we’ll be celebrating by eating Mexican food this evening! Whoo hoo! (crockpot chicken tacos are a family favorite, so this will be a wonderful way to celebrate! And what could be easier? 2 packages of boneless/skinless … [Read more…]
Please be patient with me!
My days — like yours — are filled to the brim. Grace is a sweet baby, but has, shall we say, “napping issues.” As in, she doesn’t do it well. At all. Unless I hold her. Or one of the other kids graciously volunteers (which they do!) to hold her. She doesn’t go to sleep … [Read more…]
Feast of St. Nicholas
Happy St. Nicholas’ Day! Our parish actually had an Advent/St. Nicholas party last night, complete with a visit from the beloved saint himself. I think the kids were pretty impressed to see him come in, dressed quite a bit like the picture above. He sat down with the kids and talked to them for awhile, instructed them to live virtuous … [Read more…]
