7 quick takes- Grace’s birthday edition!

April 23, 2010

And now I present to you, my 7 favorite Grace Philomena memories

Giving birth.  I pushed and pushed and huffed and puffed and I didn’t quite blow down a house, but I birthed a baby.  It’s a pretty magnificent thing!

What kind of mom are you?

April 13, 2010

In one season of America’s Next Top Model, Tyra asks the 10 or so girls what their “future goals” are, meaning what do you plan on doing when you’re done modelling?  One girl, Joanie, said she thought being a mom was a super important job.  So for the photo shoot they all got to be [...]

How are YOU doing?

March 25, 2010

So I know I’ve been a bit MIA the last few weeks.  I’ve been focusing a lot on spending my time wisely.  So many bloggers take Lenten breaks so I didn’t feel totally alone.
There was a pretty significant part of me too that really didn’t feel like I had much to say.  Maybe I just [...]

When you are little, usually it’s just your birthday.  It’s a Momentous day.  The Day you were Born.  As you get older, you add these Days.  Anniversaries of events like First Dates, First Kiss, [...]
