Simply Lovely One-on-One
Being a stay-at-home, home-educating mom, I don't often stop to think about the need to "spend time with my children." I think I lean more towards thinking about when hubby will be home so I can have a little break! However, when I noticed that the Loveliness Fair...
Stuff… Stuff… Stuff…
Speaking of Stuff, Colleen has a very thought provoking post on the need to declutter:"From the day's First Reading:""Tend the flock of God in your midst, overseeing not by constraint, but willingly...Do not lord it over those assigned to you, but be an example to the...
It’s all TOO MUCH

Personality
Everything is calming down around here... The kitchen is clean, the boys are schooling, the washing machine is staying very busy, and so far no one has thrown up! Thank you all for your prayers! I really appreciate them, and I KNOW they have been a TREMENDOUS help....

A Beautiful Day!
One of the benefits of being an "eclectic" home-schooler is that you can draw from so many wonderful learning styles, which I just love to do. If I had a strictly "textbook" home-school, today would have been a complete failure as I spent most of the day catching up...
What a surprise!!
Ever had one of those "I really wish I would listen to Flylady mornings," when you put off showering and getting dressed, and then when you finally take a shower, the doorbell rings? That's what happened to me this morning.Anyhow, when I finally made it to the door, I...
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
