She’s here in town for a NCYC, and we’re going to have brunch and chit-chat time this Sunday. I’m so excited.

7 Quick Takes — Wish I Knew Edition

Last updated on: November 11, 2011 at 8:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Visit Jen for more quick takes. I’ve decided to dedicate this quick takes to things I wish I’d known or discovered sooner. 7. I don’t have to wear high heels to be stylish. I’ve worked my way through boxes of band-aids and Dr. Scholl’s before I figured that one out. Oh Louboutin’s. You have a siren song that’s hard to ignore, but in the interest of not looking like this in 25 years: I’m sticking with these: or these: The... Read more

7 Quick Takes!

Last updated on: November 4, 2011 at 8:51 pm By Sarah Babbs

7. Have you heard about the woman who gave birth to her son in an art museum as a piece of performance art? At first I was skeptical, but upon watching an interview with the new mom this morning on GMA, I think this is a good idea. She explained her reasons for doing it, and I have to say, I agree. She said that “having a baby is the most beautiful work of art.” She also said that “childbirth... Read more

7 Quick Takes — Grass Edition

Last updated on: October 28, 2011 at 1:39 pm By Sarah Babbs

This week’s quick takes are inspired by a quote I came across recently which has been stuck in my craw for a while now. The grass is greener where you water it. 7. I discovered an awesome blog, Homestead Revival. She posts lovely ideas for the home, garden, and chickens! I wish we had chickens. Maybe someday. Anyway, the post I linked to above is inspiration for doing a “simple kitchen” makeover. I spend a lot of time each day... Read more

Celebrating the Hallowed Days

Last updated on: October 20, 2011 at 4:07 pm By Sarah Babbs

I love these, especially the pro-life o’lantern! One of the most wonderful times of the liturgical year is upon us, the Hallowed days; All Hallows Eve, All Saints, All Souls. Here are some ideas I’ve found for bringing these feasts home. All Hallows Eve (Halloween, October 31st) Does your family “do” Halloween? Both Atticus and I grew up celebrating, and I personally love it, so it will be part of our family’s tradition. This year, Maggie’s first Halloween, she’ll be... Read more

You Can Sleep When You’re Dead?

Last updated on: October 19, 2011 at 5:20 pm By Sarah Babbs

Exactly. Friends, I need help. We need help. Maggie used to be a great sleeper. We’d put her down in the crib, and she’d sleep for nine or ten hours, maybe waking once or twice in the night for a pacifier. Those days are gone. It all started about two months ago when she got a cold. She caught her first real, slight fever, snotty nose, can’t breathe cold. Understandably she couldn’t sleep in her crib. So she slept in...

7. I am officially a coffee-drinker. I really wasn’t for most of my life. Ironically, I developed a taste for coffee during my pregnancy with Maggie, when I drank iced coffee with cream. Now, when I drag myself out of bed and downstairs, I walk over to the coffee maker and pray “Please let there be coffee.” It’s better for everyone when there is. What I want to know is, how were they able to convey with such truth how... Read more

One Thousand Gifts: An Invitation

Last updated on: October 12, 2011 at 11:01 pm By Sarah Babbs

Friends, did you ever start reading book and feel tingly? Start to feel as though perhaps this book might shake up your little world? Did you ever then decide not to keep reading? To walk away. Stay safe. Comfortable. Stagnant? I have. Stagnant is like ratty old sweatpants. Comfy as hell, but does nothing for you. I started reading Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts a few months ago. I read two chapters in, got scared and closed the book. Put... Read more
