Builders Unite…

And what a grand weekend it was! The bride was stunning, the community was bursting with nostalgia, and the friendship was golden, as always. We also had the privilege of linking up with our friend and fellow blogger, Shannon, from A Friend of Gianna. It was a grand time, indeed. Read more

For the Newlyweds

Last updated on: October 1, 2011 at 1:35 pm By Mary Alice

One of our dear friends is getting married today, and many of the Builders are gathered in Washington for the special event. Weddings are amazing; your friends and family fly in from all over the world to celebrate your commitment and your relationship is imbued with new, sacramental strength. If FT were there, he would tell you a few things, we have heard them many times from him at weddings, but they deserve to be repeated. First, don’t run away. ... Read more

For MaryAlice on Michaelmas

Unsurprisingly, we have been slaying cupcakes for years on this feast day at the Incredible household. Here is a requested picture. This is Incredibaby at 14 months in 2009 (apparently we also painted that day!): Read more

Thoughts for Thursday — We haven’t forgotten it!

Last updated on: September 29, 2011 at 1:39 pm By Mary Alice

What am I cooking? I have been copying Kat’s habit of cooking larger batches of food and freezing, so will have lasagna tonight, and I don’t have to cook! What are my weekend plans? A long run, a charity pancake breakfast, a birthday party, a CCD dinner, a christening. Is your head spinning? Mine is! What are my prayer intentions for the day? For peace of mind and the mental space to parent intentionally. Our school year got off to... Read more

Shower of Roses: Michaelmas

Last updated on: September 28, 2011 at 11:14 pm By Mary Alice

Shower of Roses: Michaelmas. Okay, so we are a bit cupcaked out around here, but if you are up for cupcakes in your house, I LOVE this idea of devils food cupcakes which you stab with little cocktail swords in honor of St. Michael. Love, Love, Love. Please, somebody do it, and send me pictures! I’m looking at you, Tex, if not this year, file it away for the future. PS I have read... Read more

It is September birthday week here, we have celebrated John and Mary’s 7th birthday with pancakes and cupcakes, and today we lit the candles for Peter’s 10th birthday. Peter is the oldest builder kid, and as you can see in the picture above, 10 is really big! Peter contributes so much to our home life, and he has had a strong role in forming our other children, he is like a builder on a different level, the one who can... Read more

Ode to My Husband’s Risotto*

Last updated on: September 28, 2011 at 6:00 am By texasmommy

Last week we had a joyful day While Mr. Incredible worked far away. We wanted to share it while he was far from home, so we emailed him pictures to his iPhone. The three happy brothers reacted with glee to see our new little one floating on the little TV! That’s right….we have a tiny new one who just can’t wait to join the fun! For weeks now my stomach has done flip flops And sometimes there is just one... Read more

The Vacuum Cleaner: Just Another Tool in the “Love and Logic” Arsenal

Last updated on: September 25, 2011 at 11:23 pm By Katrina

The other night, I casually told Christopher that I would be vacuuming the next day, and that his room would be on my list of rooms to vacuum. The next morning, I found him frantically cleaning up his Legos from the floor before school. When I told him that he didn’t have to clean up just then, he said, “But Mom, you’re going to be vacuuming my room today!” Logical consequences/motivators at their best 🙂 A blessed Monday morning to...

Peace Out, Facebook?

Last updated on: September 23, 2011 at 12:11 pm By Mary Alice

Well, I know that it is much discussed over on FB itself, but the feed stream is so confusing there that I thought I would solicit comments here. I am thinking that I may have to bow out of the facebook community. Figuring out the new privacy details seems trying, and I don’t love that comments on friends posts will be seen in another feed. I find looking at the screen pretty confusing. Sadly, several of my friends who used... Read more
