Here’s proof that kids live at my house.
Do kids live at your house? How do you know?
Only a Catholic Kid
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Reader Amy shares:
“This morning, my two-year-old my son dipped his fingers into the tray below the ice-dispenser on the fridge (full of water) and then proceeded to make the sign of the cross.”
Blessed indeed! What a cutie!
Other friends have told me about their Catholic kids genuflecting before taking a seat at the movie theater and calling police officers “Father.”

The Painful Truth

Gabby: I don’t like being the “bigger person.” It seems to me like the “bigger person” always loses.
Those Weren’t the Days

This is what I would have looked like if I’d been graduating from high school in 1952 - almost a whole generation before my own mother. I like it - I look demure, which is something I’ve never looked as far as I can remember. I rather enjoy it.
And in a pretty - or really, not so pretty - bit of irony, the funniest picture I got from yearbookyourself.com was the one that was supposed to be from... READ MORE
Rachel Balducci, Class of ‘66
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Just me on Saturday, August 16, 2008
Rachel takes her grades very seriously, but thank goodness her seriousness stops there. She is always up for a visit to the local drug store for a yummy chocolate malt, and she works hard on that amazing head of hair. No wonder she was voted Best Bob Hairdo, Class of ‘66. Rachel plans on being a rocket scientist or maybe an actress.
Bad 80’s Hair
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Saturday, August 16, 2008
OK, Danielle threw down the gauntlet, so of course I am compelled to rise to the challenge and share with you the results of my own little trip down memory lane over at yearbookyourself.com. Being the old lady of the Faith and Family blogging team, I graduated from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California in 1981. The truth of the matter is that my real yearbook photo was nothing like this one - I was one of those long, straight hair girls with no bangs. But it’s kind of fun to imagine that what might have been (not!!) had I given in to the big hair craze!
Weekend Fun

Oh, the miracle of the internet! Though I wasn’t yet born in 1968, by uploading a photo to this hilarious website, I can see what my high school yearbook photo would look like for that year. Stunning, no?
There are many different years to choose from. I tried out a couple of the oversize eighties hairstyles but was unimpressed with the results. If I want to see pictures of myself looking like that I need look no further than my parents’ home where several of them are framed and hanging. And I look AWESOME, thank you very much.
Go on now. Have yourself a laugh this morning.

When you let your 6 year old set up an email account where he can “practice” this is the kind of thing you can expect to find in your inbox:
hey mama, there is a spider on your foot.

Compromise and Reason

Last night, as I was tucking Gabrielle into her bed, she asked me to turn on her electric fan.
“Put it on HIGH!” she told me.
I sighed. This is a nightly battle. Her sister roommates don’t like the fan on high, but night after night, Gabby insists.
“How about if we put it on medium instead?” I suggested.
“Noooooo,” Gabby began a predictable protest. “Just this one time can’t I have it on high?”
She... READ MORE
Never Fail Cure For Boredom
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Family on Saturday, August 09, 2008
We have an adventure with cousins planned for a little later, but the waiting is not going well.
Child who-shall-remain-nameless, whining: Mom, I’m booooored.
Me (merciless): I have some chores you can help me with.
Child (perking up): I’m not bored at all!
It’s like magic.
(For the record, that’s not my sink.)
