7 Quick Takes Friday

Last updated on: June 24, 2011 at 12:01 pm By Sarah Babbs

7. We’re so excited because on Sunday we’re having a half-birthday party for Maggie! Her birthday is in December, and three days after Christmas, so we decided it would be more fun (read: people would actually come) if we had a party for her half-birthday in June. I’m making cupcakes with pink icing that spell out “Happy Birthday Maggie!”, and the theme is pink and purple. Her signature colors. 😉 6. Baby sleep. Man, it’s tricky. Maggie is a pretty...

God: He’s In Our Bedroom and Our Bank Book – Part I

Last updated on: June 23, 2011 at 9:00 am By Sarah Babbs

Not our actual bedroom. Looks cozy though, doesn’t it? Sex and money. In our (abysmal) Pre-cana class before getting married, we were told that sex and money are the top two things that newly-weds fight about. They then proceeded to skip over all the virtues and talk about the “love languages” and how those would help us avoid all the sex and money fighting yet to come. After being married for 2.5 years, I can see why they would say... Read more

Non Serviam

Last updated on: June 16, 2011 at 10:40 am By Sarah Babbs

I was reading through the comments on Leila’s post, and I came across one that really caught me off guard. Well, two comments really. The first was this: “But one of the most wonderful ways to serve is in your God-given vocation as wife and mother.” and then the response, from a regular commenter over there, College Student: Its funny because I believe in God and one day hope to be both a wife and mother yet I still find...

Thai Food, Rain Boots, and A Question

Last updated on: June 14, 2011 at 8:30 am By Sarah Babbs

The lovely Betty is asking today: How did you and your sweetie get engaged? Well I thought you’d never ask. April 12, 2008 was a cool, rainy, Chicago spring day. I had class, and then was meeting my wonderful boyfriend “Atticus” for dinner. Even though I had moved that summer to a different neighborhood, he suggested going to a Thai restaurant in my old neighborhood, Hyde Park. I’d never been, and love Thai, so it sounded good to me. Since... Read more
