How a Woman on Her Bike Made Me Think Twice

Last updated on: April 6, 2013 at 7:40 pm By Katrina

When I’m at the gym, I often opt out of watching TV and decide instead to pray the rosary. This works well because I am focused, I can’t wander off to do something else, and I can unite my intense suffering to that of Christ. (Just kidding!) One thing that I don’t do, however, is make the Sign of the Cross, or at least a Sign of the Cross that anyone in the gym would recognize as such. It’s more... Read more

Silence and Gratitude

Last updated on: April 4, 2013 at 10:53 am By Kellie "Red"

So today is day # 3 of me having the worst sore throat of my life. I don’t know whether I have strep, laryngitis, the flu, or something else, but it feels like I have shards of glass in the back of my throat every time I try to swallow. I can’t speak AT ALL. And I’ve been running a fever for the last 48 hours. I’m headed to the doctor tonight just to make sure this isn’t strep, and... Read more

Life with a 3 year-old

Last updated on: April 2, 2013 at 3:35 pm By Katrina

Life with a 3 year-old is unpredictable. They are sunshine and giggles one minute and storm clouds and tantrums the next. They play happily with their siblings for a few minutes, but as soon as something doesn’t go their way they melt into a puddle of despair. When you’re out in public, they may happily hold your hand or you might end up dragging them when they protest, “I walk by my own self!” If you don’t have any older... Read more

Happy Easter! He is Risen! You only get so many Easter Sundays, and so we tried to soak in every moment. It was truly blessed.

Wishing all our readers a joyous Easter Sunday and Easter Season. Read more

He is Risen, Alleluia!

Last updated on: March 30, 2013 at 6:38 am By Katrina

“…When they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them. They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, ‘Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.’…” Luke 24: 5 May God’s blessings be upon you and your families on this Easter Sunday, and throughout the... Read more

Hit the Road, Jack

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 4:29 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

By the time you read this, my family will have been on the road for many hours, yearning to arrive at our southerly destination. The kids will have been awoken from their slumber in the wee hours of the night, nestled into their seats, and lolled back to sleep by the humdrum of highway driving. This is the way my husband and I like to roll. Get an early start and get a few hours in before the kids become... Read more

Good Friday

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 11:11 am By Katrina

An annotated version of the holy Gospel according to John 18:1-19:42 (from the Magnificat Lenten Companion, 2013) “Jesus went out with his disciples […to a] garden […]. Judas his betrayer also knew the place […]. The band of soldiers […] seized Jesus. […] Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “[…] I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What... Read more

Tonsillectomy Diaries

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 10:13 am By Katrina

There are many important issues going on in our country right now, issues that I am thinking and praying about and that I would love to blog about, but for now I am going to have to write about what is front of me right here in my own home. Our 5 year-old had her tonsils and adenoids removed on Tuesday, and tubes put in her ears for the first time, so dealing with her recovery has been all-consuming! Below... Read more

Thoughts to begin Holy Week

Last updated on: March 24, 2013 at 9:16 pm By Kellie "Red"

Here are some thoughts as we begin Holy Week — Mothering our families can feel overwhelming at times, can’t it? Well, I came across this quote today, and I really love it. –“Do everything calmly and peacefully. Do as much as you can as well as you can. Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed. Walk very simply with the... Read more

A Week of Meals, One Day of Cooking

Last updated on: March 22, 2013 at 1:26 pm By Katrina

If your family is anything like mine, then you will understand me when I say that cooking a decent meal on a weeknight can seem next to impossible sometimes! It’s not that I lack the ability or the enthusiasm for cooking my family a good dinner – I think that I have a modest amount of both – but rather that my family’s afternoons provide the perfect storm of factors that seem to keep me from getting a proper supper...
