…cue the music (or is it just me?). I’m over at Catholic Exchange: This is one of those years where it’s striking me particularly hard that May is Mary’s month. As busy, as crazy, as chaotic as it is, it’s Mary’s month. As hare-brained as I am, as filled to the max with unfinished tasks, as [...]

Over at Catholic Exchange earlier this week, I shared five ways your family can honor Mary in May (and beyond). At CatholicMom.com yesterday, I made a list of seven new books Mom will love. Now, off to enjoy the spring allergy season, the beautiful colors, and the sunny weather…
