10 Things about Atticus and I

Last updated on: March 30, 2011 at 8:16 pm By Sarah Babbs

Betty Beguiles has this great little thing going on today; Ten things about you and your sweetie! Here goes: 10. Atticus and I met for the first time at church. After Mass, on the steps of Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. The first thing we ever did together was pray a decade of the rosary. 9. Then we had brunch. We both adore brunch. In fact, we love breakfast so much we usually eat it for dinner about once... Read more

Dear Maggie

Last updated on: March 29, 2011 at 9:00 pm By Sarah Babbs

You are three months old. I can hardly believe it. I remember so vividly the moment you came into the world and I got to hold you and look into your sweet face. It feels as though it were a million years ago, and yesterday. I met you on December 28th, and I have been getting to know you ever since. In the last few weeks, your little personality has started to come out more. Every morning when you wake... Read more

A Love Story — Part 1

Last updated on: March 24, 2011 at 8:59 pm By Sarah Babbs

“And what you thought you came for Is only a shell, a husk of meaning From which the purpose breaks only when it is fulfilled If at all. Either you had no purpose Or the purpose is beyond the end you figured And is altered in fulfillment.” –TS Eliot This is a love story. An often painful, sometimes messy, always grace-filled love story. To tell the journey of my faith, it must begin this way. Dostoyevsky wrote, “Beauty will save... Read more

This, That, and the Other

Last updated on: March 20, 2011 at 9:26 pm By Sarah Babbs

I thought I’d share some random photos of Maggie from the last few weeks. Here goes: Oh yeah, Aunt Karen is coming to visit! And since I never posted pictures of Maggie’s room, here are a few. And yes, that is a Disney alphabet poster. I couldn’t resist. There you have it, the baby girl’s room. And, to complete this totally random post, totally randomly: I am fighting off a sickness and lost my voice today. When... Read more

Taking a Stand

Last updated on: March 17, 2011 at 9:43 am By Sarah Babbs

I am a big time wimp. Even as a child, I was terribly afraid of things. Like snakes, and heights, and roller coasters. You know how it’s every kid’s dream to go to the amusement park and ride every roller coaster eight times? I sat on a bench with everyone’s bags and read a book. I couldn’t have been happier. I hoped with age my wimpiness would subside, but really, it hasn’t. However, rather than physical locations, animals, or thrill... Read more

Best Things About Lent

Last updated on: March 15, 2011 at 11:19 am By Sarah Babbs

*** 6 *** Free Stuff! You know, the ashes, the palms, etc. All the “cultural” Catholics come out of the woodwork for the Masses when they give stuff away. And then sit in my pew. You know, it seems like all of those big days are during Lent. Coincidence, I think not. *** 5 *** Coming up with creative meatless Friday meals. Oh, who am I kidding? Most years, we just end up eating pizza, spaghetti, tuna noodle casserole, and... Read more

She’s Got Style

Last updated on: March 7, 2011 at 9:32 pm By Sarah Babbs

Last week, Betty was asking readers over at Faith and Family Live about their personal “style icons”. She revealed that her icon is the beautiful Grace Kelly. I love the idea of a style icon, (so much I decided to do my own post!) and I’ve tried to have one over the years, yet somehow I never felt completely right about “imitating” the style of someone else. However, as I’ve grown up a bit in the last few years,... Read more
