99 Things: The Love Note Project
I love my husband. and I love shouting it from the mountaintops. He’s dashing (especially in a bow tie) and funny and patient and he can calm me down in a way no one else can. A sweet father, an encouraging man who doesn’t let me give up, and I could go on and on […]
WoW Wednesday: His Holiness the Ex-Pope? Adopt a Cardinal, Before You Say You’re “Done,” and LOTS more
Ok guys – there was really a lot of Wisdom floating around online this past week! Enjoy all of the FUN as much as I did!! Pope Benedict XVI ends his tenure as pope tomorrow; but what’ll we call him? Dr. Mark Zia (one of my favorite professors from Benedictine!) wrote a brief and clear […]
When My Kid Told Me to Get Back in Mass
Every soul has a weakness, right? I’m not thinking chocolate or daytime TV, but a legitimate, nagging obstacle that seems to constantly resurface. Like a workaholic with his to-do list, or the immoderate caretaker who’s just a touch too nosy, or me – the pushover. It doesn’t define my entire existence, but in many cases […]
Ask Not What Your Husband Can Do For You
It happened all the time. I was at home with our first son, totally exhausted expecting our second.

It didn’t matter […]
WoW Wednesday! Laud for B16, Red Flags in Relationships, & a Lenten Checklist
When I was little, I was a big believer in “Wednesday is wedding day,” a decree passed around my 1st grade class ordaining that the boy you happened to walk next to during the day became your husband. Just until the next Wednesday, though. I’m pretty sure the boys were oblivious to the girls and […]
For the perfect romance, add Holiness!
Happy St. Valentine’s Day!! Hands down, my favorite holiday of the year right there next to Christmas…and St. Patrick’s Day. How would you describe the romance in your life? Exciting? Lifeless? New? How about holy? When it comes to relationships, keeping the faith isn’t often connected with lighting the spark, but I submit that the […]
A Word of Wisdom
“At that time I had to struggle with many difficulties, but God was lavish with his graces.” – St. Faustina, The Diary #15 Whatever crosses I have, whatever struggles I will endure in life or even during this particular Lent, the only thing that will give me hope of overcoming them is trusting in God’s […]
Lent: Being Pre-Prayered and Sacrificing My Will
So…Lent starts this Wednesday!? Per usual, it totally crept up on me and now I’m scrambling to figure out what to give up. I don’t think the decision has to be made BY WEDNESDAY – I definitely want it to be more meaningful than rushed, though I like the idea of sacrificing something at the […]
