May 16th, 2009 As Stephen’s First Communion cake cools on the counter, I’ve been researching buttercream frosting recipes. Can I just say … blech? How dare anyone call a recipe “buttercream” when it’s made with shortening and a cup of flour? Or (probably the worst) butter-flavored Crisco? I’m trying not to be a baking snob here, but EW. May 16th, 2009 “This,” I thought to myself as I watched the very nice but clueless young man behind the deli counter hand my cartful of eager children free samples of cheese which they grabbed with grubby touched-everything-in-the-store-so-far hands and hurried into their hungry mouths … “is a very good way to get swine flu.” May 15th, 2009 You can read my latest column at Inside Catholic today: My Kingdom for a Pencil May 14th, 2009 Oops! I forgot to get the Small Successes post up at Faith and Family this morning. But it’s up now. Come join us! May 14th, 2009 Of all the things that exhaust me as a mother in this household, it’s the drama that depletes me most.

The real drama May 13th, 2009 I really loved this recent entry from Arwen Mosher at Faith and Family Live: The dynamics of our human relationships being what they are, asking for love can be complicated and stressful. I’m not saying that I don’t make the effort to do it, just that it can be difficult sometimes. But there is one person who will always respond positively to requests for his love. Read the whole May 13th, 2009 Popular cereal is a drug, US food watchdog says. Arrest me now. Apparently, I’ve weaned all my babies on … drugs! May 13th, 2009 InsideCatholic.com – The Hidden Hand behind Bad Catholic Music. Probably more than you ever wanted to know about the secrets behind bad Catholic music, but a VERY interesting read. At least for this mom who found herself singing the most ridiculous lyrics last weekend — I won’t even blog them. But believe me, they were ridiculous. Oh, of course you believe me. |
