Written by my husband… Although adoption is a wonderful gift for an entire family, I think the perspectives taken by a husband and a wife can differ dramatically. As we all know, women and men differ in how they provide for their families. Women tend to provide more of the basic emotional needs for the […]
What Are You Lookin’ At?
You would think by now we wouldn’t notice the stares. We are used to the double takes, sometimes subtle, other times not so much, but we still do notice them. Whomever said children are color-blind, must have never met a child. Believe me, they notice and question why a white woman is holding a black […]
Rosary Roses
A few months ago I ran across this blog that had the cutest idea for helping little ones pray the rosary. I don’t crochet so it was something that sat in the back of my mind for a while. For the last year or so we have tried to say a decade of the rosary each […]
Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Home Education Magazine
Thought I would pass along a good resource. Mater et magistra is a magazine for Catholic Home Educators. Chock full of good information and inspiration! I just received my first issue and for $20 a year is well worth the subscription price. I only recently learned of this magazine so I thought maybe […]

Gentle Prodding
Do The Next Thing At an old English parsonage down by the sea,there came in the twilight a message to me.Its quaint Saxon legend deeply engraventhat, as it seems to me, teaching from heaven.And all through the hours the quiet words ring,like a low inspiration, ‘Do the next thing.’ Many a questioning, many a fear,many […]
Lenten Calendar
My St. Valentine’s gift from Bob was time alone in the house today. He and the kids left earlier this morning and will be back home sometime this afternoon. This little break is even more special because he was originally scheduled to be out of town for work this weekend, but due to snow everywhere […]
