Worth Having Around
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, August 31, 2010
I was tidying Isabel’s nursery today and realized, as I added books to her second book basket, that I have a weakness for books. I am practical about things and stuff and I can get rid of just about any other item around this house. But when it comes time to purge, rarely can I justify ditching a book.
(I sort of feel this way about shoes, too, but somehow I can rally and get rid of them here and there.)
What about you. How would you finish the following statement: You can never have too many ____________?

Today, our parish and school staffs came together for our annual retreat prior to the beginning of the next school year. With events in my personal and professional lives on my heart, I really savored this time to pray and talk with my fellow staff members, who feel really more like family than co-workers.

Book Bash!
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Saturday, July 24, 2010
As Danielle and Rachel can probably tell you, living out the dream of writing and publishing your first book is an amazing ride. My book came out in February, and I still get a giddy sensation every time I have a book-related experience. It’s so bad that a few weeks ago, I saw someone at a conference walking through a hallway with my book tucked under his arm, and I literally had to restrain myself... READ MORE
Touching Fame, Teen-Style
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Thursday, July 15, 2010
Kateri is a big fan of the Eragon series of fantasy novels by Christopher Paolini. So much of a fan, in fact, that she wrote a letter to Paolini several months ago, telling him about her life as a homeschooler and requesting an autograph.
I encourage these kinds of letters and even dare to call them “school” sometimes. Nothing motivates a writing exercise quite like the potential of “touching fame”... READ MORE
