Spring Reading Thing 2012
I have to confess, I’ve been a little sloppy lately in my reading. It’s been 60-80 degrees here. In Michigan. In MARCH! I know! Who knew that it would be so nice on the month when I over-scheduled myself and have a book a week to read and review! In trying to blog a […] Read more…

Easy, Frugal (Catholic) Easter Basket Stuffer
A few years ago, I purchased my oldest a church bag full of stuff on the anniversary of her Baptism. It was only marginally cool. The thing that sold me? You know, besides the fact I was I in my first trimester? This cool set of laminated holy cards. Then I thought, why in the […] Read more…
