C is out of town for work for a few days, so it's just A and I. I got some of that list done. I mopped and did laundry and reorganized stuff and read. But I definitely did not finish the list. In the evening, A and I watch YouTube videos together and hang out. … Continue reading Creeping Catholicism

No More Makeup
Last week I wore makeup, as I often do. We were getting our pictures taken. And C did not want to kiss me because he hates the texture and taste of my lipstick. Then he admitted he hates makeup. I always knew he thought it was frivolous, but I didn't know he hated it. Knowing … Continue reading No More Makeup
Soft, Softer, Softest
I visited A at lunch today and brought her Taco Bell. She was so excited when she saw me! She didn't know I was coming to school today. It was so sweet to get to see my baby for lunch! She invited me to the library with her and then bought me a cute little … Continue reading Soft, Softer, Softest
Long Week
Tomorrow I'm going to Mass. Afterward, I meet with the priest to discuss RCIA. I'm definitely excited. Today we went gift shopping for A's birthday, and then C grilled burgers. It's a sunny, happy Saturday. This week has been busy. I went to a mom group meeting with my neighbor. There were some really nice … Continue reading Long Week
Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates

I will be glad she has bus service. At least she will get to ride to school with … Continue reading Health, Catholic
Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
Prayer
I don't know about you, dear reader, but I need a better prayer life. We often think of praying as something you do alone, down on your knees or lying in bed. But if you only pray when you're in one of those two positions, you will not pray enough. After all, life is busy. … Continue reading Prayer
Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman
We all owe something to other people. We live in a community. And if you are married, you owe your husband sex. He's not some random person. He's your partner for life. The relationship between husband and wife is special. It's like nothing else on Earth because it reflects the relationship of Christ and the … Continue reading Sex is a Responsibility for a Married Woman
Bible Journaling Life
Bible journaling is life changing. I've never felt closer to God or more engrossed in His word. I'm having a hard time doing other things because I just want to be in my Bible! I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
