Catholicism

Last updated on: January 4, 2012 at 6:00 am By texasmommy

My husband and I recently began watching the Catholicism series that we DVRed some time ago when it was on EWTN. It. Is. Awesome. You can view the trailer here: Catholicism There are about 20 episodes that present the Church in her fullness. Fr. Robert Barron travels to 50 places around the globe while articulately expounding on Jesus, the Bible and Catholic doctrine and how all this applies to us as people created for joy. Just watching the first episode brought be... Read more

St. Augustine on the Nativity

Last updated on: January 2, 2012 at 9:55 am By Katrina

“Therefore, let our heart speak thus to Him; ‘I have sought thy countenance; thy face, O Lord, will I still seek. Turn not away thy face from me.'[Ps. 26: 8-10] And let Him reply to the plea of our hearts: ‘He who loves me keeps my commandments; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.'[John 14: 21] Indeed, those to whom He addressed these words did see...

After returning from a trip…

Last updated on: December 31, 2011 at 9:37 am By Katrina

…It was so nice not to have to run out to the grocery store for breakfast essentials! Before leaving, I had purchased a half gallon of organic milk with an expiration date one month from now, so we were all set for breakfast this morning. (Organic milk seems to spoil a bit faster than regular milk once the seal has been broken, but has a much longer shelf life before opening.) I also had a loaf of pumpkin bread in... Read more

Christmas Blessings

Last updated on: December 25, 2011 at 10:51 pm By Mary Alice

BMama’s prior post reminds us that near and far there are families who might not be having the merriest of Christmases this year. Whether your Christmas has been merry and bright, bittersweet or just plain sad, please be assured of our prayers for your family this year and into the New Year. At Christmas, we see Our Lord vulnerable in the manger, and we celebrate His birth, but we know what is to come for that baby. We know that... Read more

To All Our Prayer Warriors:

Last updated on: December 23, 2011 at 11:27 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

I’m asking tonight that you join me in prayer for a young man who needs a miracle. He is a son, a father, a friend to many and has been told he has days to live. I know his family would love your prayers for a miraculous turnaround in events. You can follow his story here. Thank you and God bless. Read more

Keeping It Real

Last updated on: December 23, 2011 at 10:05 am By Mary Alice

B-Mama suggested that we start a periodic column telling some of the less than perfect realities. I want to add at the outset that my goal, in my less than perfection, is to remain loving and cheerful (love perfects all things), so this is NOT to be taken as complaining or denigrating the life of the family, just to give our readers a little window into the everyday foibles that even we Tigers face. I can think of no better... Read more

Cleaning House for the Holidays

Last updated on: December 22, 2011 at 9:43 am By Kellie "Red"

We are hosting Christmas this year, and since my blood pressure has been a bit high, I’m trying to rest as much as possible in these last weeks of pregnancy. My parents will do most of the cooking at my home on Sunday, but I’m trying to keep this house in some semblance of order prior to Saturday. I’ve solicited the help of my older two children in this regard, as I bark orders from the sofa. They did a... Read more

A Strategy for Presents

Last updated on: December 21, 2011 at 5:17 am By Mary Alice

Red let her son open my Christmas gift as soon as the package came, which meant that, to my good fortune, my gift got to stand alone instead of being part of a pile on Christmas morning. He was really excited about it, and even called to thank me. I think that it would be great if each gift got that sort of pride of place, but it is difficult in the rush of Christmas for a child to really... Read more

“Best Dinner Ever”

Last updated on: December 20, 2011 at 6:21 pm By texasmommy

In Texas we get cold rain instead of snow, which is not nearly so Winter Wonderland-ish as the white powder. It’s cold, dreary and very, very muddy. The kind of mud that sucks up mud boots of little boys and has my washing machine churning through the heavy duty cycle. Since we’ve been fighting generic winter colds, I’ve been low on energy and creativity. Enter an easy dinner to make life just a bit simpler. I warmed tomato soup from... Read more
