Feed The Hungry

Let's share how!

Summertime is upon us and for me, that means five hungry boys will commence to eating us out of house and home. Every day.

It’s already started and I am amazed. One teenage son has recently started an afternoon workout regime that leaves him STAR-VEENG. As in, he was so hungry when he came home from school yesterday that he immediately ate one (or two!) boiled eggs, a frozen pizza, and some form of... READ MORE 


Mom, I'm Bored!

What to do, what to do

Let’s have a little contest called “Mothers Helping Mothers.”

It goes like this. I say, “Mom I’m Bored,” and you give one or two of your favorite responses to that statement.

Of course, practically speaking I think it’s up to the child to figure out how to entertain himself. As my mother always told us, “I’m not a cruise director!” Kids are smart. They can find things to do.

But it’s also nice, at... READ MORE 


Book Listening

Got audio book suggestions?

Next month my husband is taking his first-ever solo road trip with our daughter.

Camilla gets carsick, so travelling with her is complicated. She can’t read or watch videos or do anything but sit in her car seat and stare out the window. She’s pretty good at singing/talking to herself, but she still needs amusing about 30% of the time, a task that usually falls to the parent in the passenger seat.... READ MORE 


A Good Habit

How does your family pray for the dead?

On the last day of a theology class I took in college, the professor walked into the room, looked at us seriously, and picked up a piece of chalk. He said, “If you remember only one thing from this course, I want it to be this.”

And then he wrote across the board in big capital letters: “PRAY FOR THE SOULS OF THE DEAD.”

The class, incidentally, was Theology of John Paul II, so this point wasn’t even... READ MORE 


Double the Fun!

Double the everything

One of my very dearest friends just found out she is pregnant with her sixth and seventh baby. Twins!

She is excited and nervous and a whole host of other emotions as well. Mostly, she’s amazed. Having twins is way more than just one baby times two.

I told my friend I would ask all of you, our dear readers, to send her way whatever practical tips or suggestions you have. She has questions like: what... READ MORE 


Green with Hormones

A complicated season

First off, I am posting this picture of a sweet, precious baby because when looking for pictures to describe “morning sickness” and “feeling seasick” the images were so much less delightful. I decided I am going to just keep my eyes on the prize during these challenging few weeks.

Having said that, things are actually going very well. If you got to listen to last week’s podcast, you will notice I... READ MORE
