October 5th, 2009 I just set up a second computer for kids’ schoolwork in an upstairs bedroom. More and more of the kids’ schoolwork is requiring the use of a computer — we definitely needed this. But an internet-connected computer in a private room makes this mom of growing kids worry. So I decided to set up this computer with a wireless USB adapter. Now this school computer can only access the internet August 18th, 2009 Raphael’s reaching milestones this summer. Come read the details at Faith & Family Live. September 14th, 2008 Now here’s what it’s all about. If God created the internet for no other reason, it surely was so that mothers could help and support other mothers through the potty training process. Excellent advice. Moral support. Practical considerations. It’s all there. Go now. June 2nd, 2008 Already, we have boys who wear shoes that are too big for my feet. We have jeans in the laundry that I can’t imagine belong to any person once small enough to have grown inside me. We have wrestling in the backseat of the van that I dare not break up for fear of losing a limb.

Well, she’s not actually getting paid or anything, but the stable where she has taken riding lessons for the past 8 years has offered her a “work for riding” opportunity. She works in the barn and grooms the horses in return for free riding. Well now, riding is worth more to this particular 13 year March 13th, 2008 It’s official. There’s a teenager in the house. I know we are standing at the precipice of a whole new world as our older children mature, and yet somehow it does not feel as daunting to me as it did 13 years ago today when we first looked at this little bundle … and trembled. But darling Kateri, colic and all, was exactly what this nervous parental unit needed. January 28th, 2008 1. If you are a boy and your mother tells you on Sunday morning that the pants you have on are dirty and you cannot wear them to Mass, you will have to change. But if she neglects to tell you specifically that you must put them in the laundry, anything is fair game. You can totally take them off, kick them under your dresser, and leave them there until |
