If I'm not off hiding somewhere with a good book, chances are I'm chasing a kid or a dog or sleeping, because every mom can use a nap! I found Prince Charming and married him, and now we enjoy the idiosyncrasies of life in an old farmhouse. Oh yeah, and we root for the Buckeyes. Every time.
It’s hard for me to have a favorite apparition of Mary – as I went from marveling at the “basic Mary” (Mother of God, I suppose) when I first became Catholic, to hearing the different titles and stories associated with different areas, I found myself finding something special – something to relate with – in [...]

Thankful for Mary
November 29th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Mary Moment Segments, Thankful Things, podcasts, writing
The Thankful Train is still chugging away in my neighborhood, in part because I was too sick on Thanksgiving — or on the day after — to cook.
I’m thankful, today, for the turkey that tasted delightful, along with all the sides served on my pretty green china, and for a day, quiet and full, in [...]

Today’s a big game day if you’re a Buckeyes fan. We play The Team Up North.
And you know what? I’m really out of it this year, not really caring about football. I’m struggling to keep up with my life, balancing a few balls in the air, and failing to remember when it’s Saturday and I [...]

Mary Linking

My four-year-old finds beauty in everything. Maybe that’s just one of the many reasons I’m inspired by her all the time. Maybe she’s the reason I write so much about Mary. She was born on a pretty important Marian feast, after all. (On the other hand, maybe she was born on a major Marian feast [...]

Looking for me?

I’m taking the weekend “off” and I may not be around here. (Or maybe I will. Who knows?)
But, since you’re here and looking for me, check these out:
This week’s Catholic Moments, where I’m Mary Moment-ing about Mary Vitamins.
My column this week at CatholicMom.com, where I’m prattling about the loveliness of my car’s decorations

Queen of Saints and Rosary Failures
October 29th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Inspired by Mary, Mary Moment Segments, podcasts, writing
This week, I’m geeking out on Mary with the Queen of All Saints and rosary failures.
On the one hand, we have my beautiful daughters, one who’s a spitting image of a younger me and one who’s a spitting image of my husband (who is quite the handsome fellow!). When people tell me, quite infrequently, that [...]

This and That

The end-of-week linkage:
This week’s Catholic Moments features Deborah Schaben and her pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. Deacon Tom and I combined the Deacon Moment and Mary Moment and discussed my conversion to the Catholic Faith and how Mary was close to me during my journey into the Church. And, big news! [...]

Glad to Be Back (updated)

It’s been a nice, quiet week since I’ve been “out of the blogfice.” A big thank you to Kate Wicker for visiting this week and sharing her wisdom.
It’s amazing how my online time changes when I’m not (a) getting on my blog or thinking about what to blog, (b) reading blogs (or printing them out [...]

The Prayer of Our Lady of Akita
September 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Inspired by Mary, Mary Moment Segments, podcasts

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, truly present in Holy Eucharist, I consecrate my [...]
