“Sunday Morning Scramble”

A week or two ago I was inspired to expand a comment I’d left on Kate Wicker’s article, Why Children Belong at Mass at Inside Catholic into a post on my blog: 20 Things You Can Do to Help Your Toddler Behave at Mass. I guess this is a...

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, It’s… Drizzling

Driving home from the store tonight I said something about it raining. A little voice piped up in the back of the car. Bella: It’s not raining. Me: Yes it is. B: No. It’s not raining. It’s cloudy. Me: Yes, it’s cloudy...

Baby News!!! (not mine)

I am so very excited. I have two friends named Katherine, both met through blogs. Both they and their husbands graduated from UD, though I knew none of them while I was there. Both lovely women have accompanied me spiritually in the last months as...

Rainy Friday

Went to the post office this morning. Funny to watch Bella circle and circle around the room, fascinated by everything. I gave her Dom’s Netflix envelope to drop in the slot. Oh what joy! Sophie sits on the counter next to me and observes from...

Reading with Bella and Sophie
