He did it again!

November 16, 2009 by Kathy 2 Comments

You may remember my “experiment” of last week — trying to keep Sunday work free, and asking God to work it out so that I didn’t go crazy from the mess on Sunday, AND that I didn’t get too behind on Monday. He answered that prayer in a wonderful way. So, this past Saturday evening … [Read more…]

Thought for the morning

June 23, 2009 by Kathy 3 Comments

You know, we can all wax poetic about the glorious vocation of motherhood, and find all sorts of deep spiritual lessons from the activities of the day, but this morning I can’t stop laughing at the thought that *MY* personal path to holiness — lovingly planned and hand picked by God Himself — is peppered … [Read more…]

What a great way to start the day!

June 6, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

I’ve had a rough couple of nights this past week… very little sleep, plus a 19 month old who STILL won’t give up nighttime nursing (arrgh!), has made waking up in the morning a less-than-pleasant experience. And if you knew me, like my family does, you would know that even on a GOOD day, I … [Read more…]

There’s a time to be a stickler about bedtimes…

January 14, 2009 by Kathy 3 Comments

…and then there’s a time to throw the whole thing out the window, and give a sweet little three-year old girl (who’s having a hard time falling asleep) a special time with “just Mommy,” long after everyone else has gone to bed. Marie and I just spent the best hour together in I-don’t-know-how-long, nibbling on … [Read more…]

I am in such trouble

July 11, 2008 by Kathy 4 Comments

This is Grace (the baby) with her sister Marie (who I am madly in love with at the moment. The girl has had “her cute on” for quite some time, and I’m finding every minute with her to be sheer delight… but that’s another story). Grace is a sweet, happy baby that I have called … [Read more…]

On base

June 17, 2008 by Kathy 3 Comments

Not a big, earth-shattering post here… but just what I’ve been thinking about all afternoon. Remember playing tag when you were little? Fantastic game… the thrill of running as fast as you can, that slight fear when you realized you were going to get caught, and the sheer simplicity of it all — you run, … [Read more…]

Organizing Our Hearts by Sanctifying the Moment

March 5, 2008 by Kathy Leave a Comment

Now that we have ideas for keeping our homes in order, let’s turn to organizing our hearts. Let’s face it, even with the best laid dinner plans, filing systems, curriculum, and laundry organizers – life as a homeschooling mother, often with many children, is unpredictable. The temporal demands of managing a household can sometimes become … [Read more…]

Shhh! Nobody tell my daughter I’ve escaped!

February 4, 2008 by Kathy 1 Comment

She thinks I’m still lying next to her in bed. Poor thing. She’s not feeling well, so it’s been “all about Mommy” for the past several days. She’s being even more clingy than usual, which means blogging time has been… well… non-existent. Bless her heart. It’s hard to be upset about it (well, not when … [Read more…]

Maturity at 40

November 15, 2007 by Kathy 6 Comments

Well, at least I’d love to *think* that I’m maturing a little by now! While there’s nothing I’d enjoy more than to claim victory on so many different levels, I think just one will have to do for now — I’m a bit more patient with Grace than with any of my other children. It’s … [Read more…]

The Importance of Motherhood

July 6, 2007 by Kathy 2 Comments

I will not even begin to say that I agree with everything Chesterton had to say about women and motherhood in his book What’s Wrong with the World, but I certainly appreciate this (rather famous) quote of his: How can it be a large career to tell other people’s children about the Rule of Three, … [Read more…]
