We LOVE this Advent activity. It is a great way to explain the whole story of creation to your kids, but without the stress of one more thing you “have to do” this Christmas season. We don’t do one per day because some days we can’t get to it. I just have each child color […]
FAVORITE MOVIES: The Blind Side Fireproof Courageous God’s Not Dead Woodlawn! War Room FAVORITE SONGS: Isn’t it the same for everyone? Certain songs especially stir your heart and draw you closer to the Lord. Or the lyrics might speak straight to your current circumstances and comfort you like nothing else could, because only God knew […]
One more link from one of my favorite Catholic Christian bloggers, Jennifer at Conversion Diary: Duty Before Holiness Let me know if this hits home for you as much as it did for me.
Recently I’ve been struggling with a spiritual dry spell. What do I mean by that? It means that doing my morning readings has been a struggle for the past few months and I fail at least half the time (and then feel terrible about not putting God first in my day). It means that when […]

Below I’ll show you a video that made me very nervous to watch, but first… A couple weeks ago I finally saw Fireproof and I still think about it all the time. Mostly it comes to mind when Kent might irritate me for some reason and I know I should zip my lips, but before […]
Aren’t these colors amazing? I hope what you see on your screen does this picture justice. The kids and I were loving our view of this sunrise out the slider the one morning last week, and I’m surprised it showed up so well on camera. This certainly wasn’t a good fit for my Kitchen Kop/Health […]
Our teenager rolls his eyes each time I say this since he’s a little sick of hearing it. Isn’t it true, though? What a great quote to keep us humble, and without a doubt, humility is a necessary virtue in a life of faith. It’s also great to remember when you’re too caught up in […]
I don’t know about you, but my BIGGEST PET PEEVE is when I hear the Lord’s name spoken in vain. Several people we love speak this way often, and it always makes our toes curl. I’d much rather hear an F-bomb dropped any day… and I’m sorry if this offends you, but I have to […]
