Finding joy through my faith, family, and the natural world. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Not that he has always been this way. He used to have no fear of any medical professional or facility. However, that was the pre-tonsillectomy Joah. After experiencing the trauma of a very painful surgery last year (you can read about that drama here. It's easy to overlook the little milestones in our children's lives that show that they are growing up not only on the outside, but also on the inside. The pants that ...

Flowers For Francis: To The Top
http://flowersforfrancis.blogspot.com/2015/07/to-top.html
Finding joy through my faith, family, and the natural world. Saturday, July 4, 2015. And if I ever doubt this, I need only to recall my climb up Uncompahgre many years ago. Because little did I know, on that 4. Day of July, in 1997, that it was also the feast day of Blessed Pier Georgio Frassati, upon whose intercession I had called upon that day to help me make it to the top. Bl Pier Georgio, pray for us. July 4, 1997. July 5, 2015 at 11:10 AM. What a beautiful reflection! July 6, 2015 at 2:23 PM. Forme...

Empty Arms Full Heart. Living with Miscarriage and Infertility. Next Post →. July 9, 2015. We must be willing to let go of the life we had planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. Joseph Campbell. I just came across this quote on a fellow miscarriage bloggers blog. It stopped me dead in my tracks and I reread it multiple times. The comments, in God’s time or God has a plan make my stomach hurt. I am almost ashamed to admit these things. I am totally in love with my God and kn...It is like ...

Sew : September 2013
http://sewinfertile.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Pictures Do Not Lie. I had a great visit to Baltimore! Let me just recap my trip. Flew in Wednesday evening, Thursday morning drove to FJIEJ house 1.5hrs to stay the night and eat FJIEJ great cooking, and on Friday morning woke up at 5am and packed the kids in the car at 5:45am for a 2.5hr drive. Then after we finished with our appointment drove home 3.5hrs. I did all of this with great energy, scary calm and with NO crashes! That is how I'm rocking these hormones! My childs a...

Ecce Fiat: On living in the present moment
http://eccefiat11.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-living-in-present-moment.html
Our journey so far. Saturday, September 14, 2013. On living in the present moment. Another amazing passage from Fr. Philippe's book Interior Freedom. Catholic Mutt, did you get to this part yet? It's in the section called "The Present Moment." Here he discusses how living in the present moment is key to a life of interior freedom because, for one thing, we can only exercise freedom now. Some of my favorite lines from this section, and why I love them:. Amen This strikes a chord because I want. I just lov...

Empty Arms Full Heart. Living with Miscarriage and Infertility. Newer posts →. July 6, 2015. My new adventure this month is ultrasounds to see how my follicle is developing. I am hoping this gives me some answers. Lastonth everything was ideal and still did not get pregnant. Depending on what she sees today I may have to go back in a few days. I am praying this works because being a teacher I cant really do these ultrasounds again. This really is my only chance…. Will keep you updated! June 20, 2015.

Flowers For Francis: June 2015

Finding joy through my faith, family, and the natural world. Friday, June 19, 2015. 7 Quick Takes - Trial Runs, Feasts, and Getting Outside. The boys are both napping and if my pecking on the keyboard or the rumbling of the approaching thunderstorm as I pound out this post doesn't wake them, I just might be able to get this Quick Take written in record time. Have I mentioned lately how wonderful it is to have four-year-olds who still nap? To learn how to do it. Last week, we enjoyed "meat Friday" and...

Ecce Fiat: Musings on the Paschal Mystery (re-post)
http://eccefiat11.blogspot.com/2015/04/musings-on-paschal-mystery-re-post.html
Our journey so far. Saturday, April 4, 2015. Musings on the Paschal Mystery (re-post). I'm re-posting one of my favorite posts, which I wrote a few years ago. Blessed Triduum and Happy Easter! Before they slip from my mind, here are some thoughts/reflections/insights that came to me during the Triduum this year. Fair warning: these are unfiltered and relatively stream-of-consciousness. Good Friday - yes, it really is that bad. In trying to parse out why this point impacted me so much this year, I think i...
