It’s basically inevitable. I take my baby in for a WELL-BABY check-up at the doctor’s office, and a few days later BAM! We get sick. (Do the words, “please don’t touch your face” not mean ANYTHING to my children???) Oh well. On a day of horrific colds with coughing and snorkeling everywhere, I am thankful … [Read more…]
I know you’ve all seen the “Homeschool Family” video (done to the tune of the Addams Family) which, truthfully, had me crying the first time I saw it. (“There’s recess in the foyer…” is hysterical!) Well, there’s a website where you can enjoy more of Tim Hawkins’ comedy. I thought “Cletus Take the Reel” and … [Read more…]
In the “I must be doing something right department”:Thomas (as I prepared Cheerios and strawberries for his breakfast this morning): “Mommy! Are you putting… SUGAR… on my cereal?” Gratuitous baby shot moment… Mommy… I’m not sure what this toy is… Oh look! It’s a cute baby! And in the “we’re desperate for entertainment” department: She … [Read more…]
Like I mentioned in my post yesterday, I had really hit a wall with homeschooling sometime around Christmas (not a big surprise, since I usually start slowing down halfway through the school year, PLUS I had a newborn to add to the mix). I knew I was in big trouble when I realized that I … [Read more…]
Here’s the listing of all the Loveliness Fairs for the beginning of 2008. I always find something to inspire me in my vocation… and hopefully you will too!
And my apologies to those who have been wondering, “Where the heck ARE you?” I’ve been cleaning and organizing (hasn’t everyone? It seems like it…) I finally hit the wall when we got back home after our Christmas visit to my parents’ house. I was OK when we unpacked our suitcases, but once the toys … [Read more…]
I was going to write a post on organization (which seems to be a topic of interest everywhere I turn!), but that will have to wait a bit… I have only a short time this evening to blog, and that post will take longer to write. Instead, I wanted to share some pictures of our … [Read more…]
You know, you can tell a lot about a person once you find out what their favorite artist or favorite song is… and I find it fascinating to hear what songs or type of music speak to other people. I’m into a lot of different types of music, but if I *had* to pick my … [Read more…]
I had good intentions — keeping a running list of books that I’ve read in any given year — but I fell behind. I’m the kind of person that reads constantly. You can go into just about any room in my house and find some book that I am currently reading. It’s one of my … [Read more…]
And often, it’s something wonderful, like getting a really cool present from your Dad (like this Nativity scene, that my Dad made for me this year. Thanks, Dad!)… …or getting a pretty decent picture of your kids on the FIRST TRY, even though they had just come in from the pouring rain after Mass and … [Read more…]
