Living Hopefully vs. Hopefully Living
Although I graduated from college almost 30 years ago, I still say I AM an English major rather than I WAS an English major. That self-identification is probably indicative of why I enjoy usage manuals like The Elements of Style by Strunk and White entirely too much....
Iris, Resurrected
Mima–my maternal grandmother–loved working in her yard. In my mind’s eye I see her kneeling in front of her porch, setting out marigolds and impatiens in the rich black dirt she’d bought at Kmart. Later she’d move to the bed by the...
How I Am #RockingMotherhood
It’s been three weeks now since Anni tagged me to participate in the #RockingMotherhood challenge. I hadn’t forgotten about the challenge–I was just thinking. Because it IS a challenge, in a society that’s hell bent on making mothers feel that...
How My Faith Helps Me Worry Less

It's No Sacrifice
In thinking about what I could add to the discussion of sacrifice, having come late to the party and drawing the last spot of the month, I turned to one of my favorite sources for information: the dictionary. Quickly I found myself falling down an etymological rabbit...
Things I Like about ME
Five years ago, I participated in an exercise in which bloggers were challenged to post a list of what they liked about themselves. The premise was that most women are a lot better at self-criticism than self-praise, that we are always focused on the ways in which we...
My True Feelings about Confession
So today’s post is brought to you courtesy of the Catholic Women’s Blogger Network. It’s part of our monthly blog hop and I totally would not be writing it if it weren’t. Because here’s where I peek out from under my somewhat ill-fitting...
