All I Want for Christmas Is Books, Books, Books
Even when I was a little girl who still enjoyed getting toys for Christmas, I also looked forward to receiving books. Then as a teenager I remember enjoying Christmas night, after all the festivities were finished, finally getting to lie on the sofa to read whichever...
SPONSORED: Coobie Bra Review
Awhile back I posted some info on Coobie Seamless Bras. As a blogger for US Family Guide I occasionally get free stuff in exchange for my honest opinion on said stuff. Usually my honest opinion ends up being more or less positive, but I’m not a fan of the...

12 in 2015: A Year in Pictures
At the end of 2013 and again last year I participated in a linkup in which participants shared one picture for each month of the year. I’m not sure that the linkup is taking place but I think it’s a fun way to recap the year so I am going to do it anyway!...
That Time I Did Not Advent Right
Time to get real here, folks. All last week I posted about Advent: Advent memories, Advent crafts, Advent Workshops, complete with Pinterest-ready graphics. Yay me! But the truth is, I’m failing at Advent this year, and it’s not the first time. I wanted...
Signs of the Season: An Advent Workshop
Since it first launched in 2001, my family has attended the Signs of the Season Advent Workshop at our parish every year–even when Lorelei was only ten days old! This annual event, founded and conducted by Dorothy Romines, has always been an integral part of...
Tragedy and Traditions
The following was written in Advent 2011 and posted at my friend Lacy’s blog. That first post-fire Christmas still seems very close and this time of year still is a little painful for me. Traditions. We all have them. Children demand them—“We did that last...
Celebrating Advent with a Jesse Tree
When most people are getting excited about Christmas, I am usually getting excited about Advent. And outside of church, you don’t hear much about this special season, as people are so eager to rush straight into Christmas. When I was growing up my family always had...
Advent Memories
I’m a Catholic school veteran—16 years all told. I sent my three oldest children to the same parochial grade school I attended. Catholic schools have Religion class every day along with Math, English, and Social Studies, and that’s great—but what’s even better are...

Everyone who’s old enough to remember has a 9/11 story. Mine is probably fairly typical of those of us with no personal connection to the events, and I’ve never written about it because it feels t...

Ten years ago, I joined a link up to post 12 pictures, one for each month of the previous year. When that link up ended, I found another one. Now that one no longer exists, but I’m still doing this ...

Is a faith nurtured primarily by media slanted in one direction or the other likely to bear good fruit, like humility and love, or rotten fruit, like pride and hatred?

“By their fruits you will know them,” we read in the Gospel. “ . . .[E]very good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tre...

I have mentioned before that my favorite Gospel stories involve Peter, my favorite saint. I love Peter because he is relatable. He is human and makes mistakes, some bigger than others. Yet Jesus chose...
