Blessed is She

No long post today.  Instead, I am going to link up to a new project started by some of my friends - Blessed is She.  They write devotions on the daily Mass readings.  Enjoy!

Well Read Mom

-
The well read mom program was started here in Minnesota, by a mom who, while homeschooling her children, realized that women, particularly mothers and wives, also needed the nourishment and joy of good literature just as much as school children.  She put together a book club of sorts, selecting good, often unheard of, books and poetry centered around a theme, to be read from Sept - June. While I don't have a group to join to read this year's book selections, my intention is to at least read them on my own. This year's theme is "Year of the Spouse." 1. Hannah Coulter - Wendell Berry 2. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 3. Lilacs and the Long Ago - Mary Lavin 4. The Secret Diary of Elizabeth Leseur - Leseur 5.  The Betrothed - Manzoni 6. Hound of Heaven at My Heels - Waldron 7. The Jeweler's Shop - Karol Wojtya 8. Anna Karenina - Leo Tolsto y However, on my trip to the library this morning, I wasn't able to find any of these books on the shelv...

Back on the saddle again

So, this whole blogging idea of mine really didn't take off, did it? :)  I realized this AM that the post about my new year's resolutions wasn't even published (hence today's date) and it's been six months since I've logged on.  However, I need to write and get the mental juices flowing again, so I guess I'm back on the saddle. It's currently summer here in Minnesota, and like most of the year/winter, it is cold and windy!  It seems the whole country has fallen under a chilly spell. Honestly, it is a little refreshing from the hot hot hot days, but it still felt weird to pull on a sweater and jeans before I made my way out the door to run errands yesterday morning.  The sun is out now, though, so I imagine Little M and I will be heading outdoors this afternoon. Since moving in to our current place, I have a bit slow to the decorating/nesting/making it a home thing.  I have had the curtains and curtain rod sitting in my closet for too long  awhil e ,...

Seven Quick Takes: Edition 1

Here I am, jumping in again to update my blog!  I thought I'd start with my first "Seven Quick Takes" linking up with Jennifer Fulwiler over at Conversion Diary. 1. Happy Feast of St. Therese!  Technically, the feast was celebrated on October 1, but since our day didn't pan out like I expected, I am celebrated today.  October 3 was the feast day according to the old Church calendar (pre-vatican 2). 2. With all this rain (and talk of snow tonight!) little Darlin' and I have spent way too much time with the TV and Netflix on.  I think I need to make a list of activities to do in rainy/snowy weather, or else this pending winter will have me shut in and depressed.  I also need to figure out how to become less dependent on the magic box that plays her favorite thing (Winnie the Pooh). 3.  Speaking of Winnie the Pooh, I've been working hard on transitioning Little Darlin' to her own room, and to make that room cozy and cute so she actually likes the idea ...
