Wordless Wednesday: Surprise Pair
I was sick enough Sunday morning that I missed Mass. Palm. Sunday. Mass. Big Girl sought out an EMHC to bring Jesus to me (I cried when the family was leaving as I asked), but while I waited, in the just-after-the-rain I saw a beautiful cardinal in the tree. No, not that kind of cardinal.…

Sick on Purpose
I think God was preventing me from getting myself any more upset than I already was this week. I joked with Travel Man that Obamacare made me sick because I had a fever Monday through Thursday at about noon. Turns out, I missed Masses and the Mission all week, and according to my friends who…

Blog Facelift
I just did a quick update on the blog’s look. If you’re on a feed aggregator, feel free to click through and see the new, updated header and the new color scheme. Travel Man will be SO thrilled to post, I’m sure. Not that he does much, anyway.
Simple Crafts: Make a Balloon Barrette
I’m turning into a real artsy-fartsy, homemaker kind of gal lately. I’ve got a bread machine, I made homemade chicken stock, I’m cooking up a storm, and now, I’ve started to make clips for Little Girl’s hair. I can’t take credit for the idea. It came from an old book on how to braid hair…
