Choosing Favorites

I have noticed something lately, a funny little detail about being a mom and running the show and making lots of choices. Here it is: when it comes to making decisions, I choose what I like best.
That probably sounds like a no brainer, but it has occurred to me lately that I might be inadvertently training my children to have the same yens as me. When I reach for the yogurt at the grocery store, I... READ MORE
Hair Today
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Up until about a week ago, my dear sweet one-year-old daughter wore a precious hair bow without protest. I would pop the giant accoutrement into her bangs and off we’d go, no fuss no muss.
Lately, I am sad to report, Isabel will have none of it. The minute I insert the grosgrain accessory, she yanks it out. We try again: I put it in, she pulls it out. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
“No, no,” I explain, “it’s... READ MORE
The Big Reveal
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, April 06, 2011
In one of the cutest methods I’ve seen for revealing baby’s gender, one Catholic blogger writes about the fancy cupcakes she used to share the news.
We’ve never found out our baby’s gender in advance—after the first three boys, I decided that finding out when I was actually meeting the baby was going to be my best option. Otherwise I ran the risk of feeling emotional (and not in a good way).
But so... READ MORE
Hair Today

Hallie’s post about post-partum hair loss resonated with me, and I’m happy to report I’m on the other side of that adventure. Ten months after the birth of our baby, my hair is (finally) filling back in.
It’s funny to have little baby hairs lining my scalp, but I’ll take it—I always get nervous when the hair starts falling out in handfuls, and I’m always so relieved to see it come back in.
Take heart, all you postpartum mama’s. You too, will look like Eddie Munster before you know it!
4 Minutes and 52 Seconds of Truth

Check out this great pro-life speech from one of the “new guys” on Capitol Hill.
A couple (of many) highlights ...
“We can use any euphemism, like ‘fetus’ or ‘dividing tissue’ or ‘embryo,’ or just simply ‘inconvenience,’ but no one comes to the family and says: How is the embryo? No one says to a pregnant woman or hears a pregnant woman say: Excuse me, I just felt the fetus kick. No one comes to a... READ MORE
Baby's First Christmas
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, December 08, 2010
For each First Christmas of our children, I have always made sure to get a special Christmas ornament. With some children this ornament has been quite fancy; with others it has been homemade (and possibly a little too simple)—but it always involves an ornament that can include a picture. I take a picture of that baby and pop it into the ornament and voila!—something the boys look forward to hanging... READ MORE
Not Too Late

As we celebrate life and wait with expectant faith this Advent for the coming of our Savior, we can read this story with great joy.
Thanks to a new alliance announced this week between the Pro-Life Action League and Resurrection Medical Center and The Women’s Center, some women in the Chicago area who have begun the abortion process in the second trimester—and then change their minds—can save their... READ MORE
65 Year-Old Secret Revealed

Here’s an amazing story I read over the weekend:
65 Years Later, A Mother’s Secret Revealed
An 83-year-old woman, a rape victim who gave up her baby for adoption as a teenager, is reunited with her son—a son her family knew nothing about.
After phone calls and e-mails Haner became convinced Kiser was her brother. She then decided it was time to ask her mother an almost unbelievable question: Did... READ MORE
S Is For Sweet

Hi ladies!
Thank you so much for the many prayers before, during and after the birth of my little one! They meant the world to me! I’ve missed you guys and am so glad to be back! Having said that, I am just a tiny bit sleep-deprived so you will forgive me if my grammar, spelling, and/or clarity leaves something to be desired. Yawn…
Anyway, on to the fashion…
Since I’m currently living in the land... READ MORE
