In Right Relationship

Last updated on: August 22, 2012 at 8:00 am By Sarah Babbs

First off, thank you so much for the responses to Monday’s post about the new focus. I appreciate the questions you all asked, as well as the suggestions for issues to explore. I especially wanted to respond to Bonnie’s comment, which I am re-posting here: “Sarah, I am excited to read what you’ll be writing. I confess, when I hear “social justice” coming from a Catholic it conjurs up a lot of negative images for me of Catholics who are... Read more

When I set out to write this blog, nearly four years ago, I did not have a clearly defined focus. I was in grad school and about to be married. Obviously a lot has changed. Atticus and I have been married almost four years, I finished grad school with my MA, have been pregnant twice, and have one lovely little almost 2 year old girl. Over the past four years I’ve written about the seasons of the Church year in... Read more

7 Quick Takes Friday

Last updated on: August 17, 2012 at 8:00 am By Sarah Babbs

7. We had the most delightful date night on Wednesday. I packed a picnic of chicken, corn, avocado salad (see my previous post for recipe!), homemade salsa, and homemade peach-ginger pie, as well as a bottle of sparkling wine and headed to the free outdoor Art Park that is part of the Indianpolis Museum of Art. So.much.fun. We sat under a particularly lovely shade tree, ate our picinic, drank our wine, and then took a long, meandering walk through the... Read more

Summer Salad Extravaganza

Last updated on: August 14, 2012 at 8:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Otherwise known as the week when I stopped using the stove. Ok, maybe not completely. But I decided that a week of salads was a great idea. Especially since I only have to make three dinners this past week. So I thought to myself, I thought, maybe my dear readers would like to learn more about my week of salads. Maybe they like salads too. Or maybe they like not using the stove when it’s roughly the same temperature outside... Read more

7. In a stunning display of the extent of the brokenness of man, our local St. Vincent DePaul food distribution center, which gives assistance to nearly 10,000 people a week, was victimized by criminals twice in the last three months. Yes, that’s right. In the first instance, copper wiring was stolen from three of the distribution center’s rooftop cooling systems (for keeping the perishable food cold), and the second incident was when three of the center’s trucks which they use...

Peaches

Last updated on: August 7, 2012 at 9:44 pm By Sarah Babbs

Sometimes, when the state of the world gets me down, and I want to strangle the internet with my own two hands, I read poetry. It’s a balm to my soul, and it lowers my blood pressure as well. In honor of the delicious summer fruits from this week’s farmer’s market, here is my favorite ode to summer: From Blossoms From blossoms comes this brown paper bag of peaches we bought from the boy at the bend in the road...

Celebration Tastes Like

Last updated on: August 6, 2012 at 8:31 pm By Sarah Babbs

this. Yes, that’s some Asti and dark chocolate called Beauty Bark. Tonight we are celebrating a heavy burden that has been lifted. Today we have paid off the remainder of my grad school loans. Praise God and we continue to pray for those who are under the burden of loan repayment. Meanwhile, we’re enjoying some wine and chocolate. Hope you are enjoying this fine summer evening, too.

7. Our trip to Scranton was a success! We got to visit with my family and got to celebrate my good friend’s bridal shower. We also got to meet the wonderful blogger (and now friend) Louise from Wonderful World of Weez. She is so sweet in real life (and blog life) and her little girl Elise is so adorable and smart. It’s always fun to meet a fellow blogger. 6. Here are some photos from our trip: Maggie’s first time... Read more

7. Holy Buckets. I haven’t done of these in forever. There always seems to be something to do and I can’t get to this poor, neglected blog. Also, Ihave a lot of ideas and half-written posts, but I can’t seem to make them stick, if you know what I mean. 6. I wish I could tell you all that this is going to change anytime soon, but alas, it probably won’t. We are leaving tomorrow for a road trip to... Read more

Back in Black, or Burning Up

Last updated on: July 5, 2012 at 10:45 am By Sarah Babbs

Although, I suppose, it would be better to be back in red, white, and blue? Ah well. The blogging break during Fortnight for Freedom was refreshing and spirtually fruitful, I think. Namely, taking a break from blogging has helped me to get my prayer life out of the crapper, where it had been for quite some time. Have you ever noticed that when you gradually stop praying, you generally start feeling more restless and dissatisfied in proportion to how little... Read more
