Divide and Conquer

Last updated on: July 25, 2011 at 6:03 pm By Mary Alice

It has been a super busy summer, involving early mornings and late nights, toddlers pushed through and beyond their nap-deprived patience and me melting down or falling asleep by 9:30 most nights. With all of this in mind, I am particularly thankful that my mother-in-law has taken the littlest two for a sleepover at her house tonight so that I can get the older four off to swim championships at 6:30 am. This is a win-win situation, the little guys... Read more

Not a helicopter parent

His day visiting his great-grandparents didn’t go as planned. Poor kid. It’s always something with our Gus. But the tomato he was carrying came through unscathed. He asked about that tomato as soon as we got the bleeding under control, and again once they finished stitching up his face. He then ate it for lunch today. Unfortunately, in the craziness of our day, we left the ointment from our hospital trip behind. His discharge instructions say to keep the wound... Read more

What is modesty for mothers?

Last updated on: July 21, 2011 at 8:01 pm By Juris Mater

Recently, we were at the pool with my VERY FIT friend Mrs. X and her five children. Mrs. X was in a fairly skimpy bikini. After 5 kids, she still has the figure for it. At the pool that day, instead of asking Mrs. X for a juice box himself, my 5-year-old son asked me to go ask her. Twice I told him it was his responsibility to ask her if he wanted a juice box. Finally, as I was becoming impatient, he told... Read more

Food Storage Question

Last updated on: July 20, 2011 at 12:11 pm By Mary Alice

We like to buy in bulk, but then every once in a while we have an unexpected stretch of not eating at home as often, and things go to waste. Right now, we have some issues with insects (pantry moths) in our grains, and I was thinking that I might like to just get an extra freezer and keep everything in the freezer. Does anyone have experience or thoughts on this — I keep rice in the freezer, but what... Read more

Pope appoints Archbishop Chaput to Philadelphia archdiocese :: Catholic News Agency (CNA)

Last updated on: July 20, 2011 at 7:33 am By Mary Alice

Pope appoints Archbishop Chaput to Philadelphia archdiocese :: Catholic News Agency (CNA). Exciting news for our area, and also another chance to practice with PressThis. I must now relinquish the computer so that a certain nine year old can check his online chess game. By the way, does anyone have success posting to wordpress from email or an iphone? I want to be able to do this, I can post pictures and things easily to blogger and facebook, so... Read more

Last updated on: July 20, 2011 at 7:30 am By Mary Alice

Serendipity: Along the American History Trail ~ Lewis and Clark Stop 1. We are going to use some of these resources for the early part of our 19th Century America. This is a test of the “press this” tool on WordPress. It is an easy way to link to anyplace on the web, but I don’t know if it will be too busy to be doing this as a fresh post, some of us really want to have a... Read more

Test Post and brief update

Friends, this is just a test post because some of us have been having trouble with wordpress. Looks like it is working now! Here are some quick takes from my family in July: 1. This is the summer of swim team and audio books, both of which have been great fun. We have listened to The Kite Fighters, which was wonderful, we are also using “playaways” which are individual mp3 players loaded with a book from the library. The kids... Read more

Soccer Cinderella

Last updated on: July 18, 2011 at 11:35 am By AWOL Mommy

I got home at 12:45 AM last night. I am within 24 hours of the most incredible sport spectacle I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing live. A friend offered me the opportunity to use one of their tickets to go to the Women’s World Cup Final (USA v. Japan) in Frankfurt. Immediately the rational, sensible, mother-of-seven-years-side of me went into gear. Kick-off wasn’t until 20:45, Ethan is away and I have three children… I couldn’t go! Fortunately,... Read more

for the good news on my u/s yesterday! Baby looks very good, nice big round head!!!!! Thank you all for the prayers. They sustained me. I can’t tell you how humbled I am by the prayers of my family, friends, and complete strangers. You are all amazing, and I’m so thankful for every prayer said on our behalf. I’m sure I’ll feel the anxiety set in again before the next big scan at 18 weeks…but for today I’m just feeling... Read more
