Hey Everyone. I'm a little discouraged this afternoon. I know I'm a good mom to my three boys (5.5 y, 2.5 y, and 3m), but sometimes I just run out of ideas on how to deal with them. My 2.5 y old is…Continue

My Conversion Story
I'm just finishing up Rediscover Catholicism. This book has changed my life. I am so encouraged and inspired to live a better life today; to be the person God created me to be today; to really try to eliminate bad habits and replace them with good habits today; to nourish my soul today. In the last section of the book, Matthew Kelly talks about evangelization and how we should be...{Read the rest online...}
Nature Walk
After a long day, I steal a few minutes outside with my camera. All alone. Even though I don't live in a cabin in the woods on a lake, I can find peace in nature right here, in the middle of the city, in the neighborhood, in the garden, barefoot on the grass, among the daisies and the bumblebees. I love the colors this time of year. Where have you found beauty in nature? If you'd like to...{Read the rest online...}
My New Little Curtains
I live in a basement this year. My room has two little windows that let in an amazing amount of light during the daytime. I wanted to hang some curtains, just for decoration. I found this pretty fabric. I bought some extra to make some pillow covers that have a fold in the back, like these. I haven't gotten around to those yet though. These curtains took me forever to make. Mainly because I spent...{Read the rest online...}

Hey Everyone. I'm a little discouraged this afternoon. I know I'm a good mom to my three boys (5.5 y, 2.5 y, and 3m), but sometimes I just run out of ideas on how to deal with them. My 2.5 y old is sweet as can be, until things stop going his way. He has been throwing nasty fits over just about anything. I usually stick my ground. I made him finish his broccoli before he could have the "fun" food, and I put him in his room/bathroom (b/c he had 2 fits during lunch) whenever he was…See More
Elisa commented on Susan DiParisi's blog post Anger management"Interesting. This thread just popped up today at the F&F sidebar when I came here looking for some - any answers to dealing w/ my 2-yr old. These are all great ideas. I don't usually get angry, but I find it hard to discipline without being…"

Mary Bennett replied to Elisa's discussion Gifts for Baptism"This is probably a totally "romantic" idea, and won't be all that popular, but what about a beautiful, handmade, lacey veil? She could wear it at her baptism, it could be adjusted with combs and clips for her first Holy Communion, and…"

- Ist ja lustig, daß Du aus Omaha bist. Wir waren öfters dort! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Deiner Schwangerschaft. Ich habe eben auf Deinem blog gelesen, daß Du zu Hause entbinden möchtest. Das finde ich toll! (Ich bin dazu wohl nicht mutig genug ;-) Die beiden Kleinen halten Dich bestimmt ganz schön auf Trab. Ich habe einen Sohn, der im Juli 2 wird, und eine Tochter, 5 Monate alt.

- Servus Elisa! Ja, ich bin aus Deutschland. Übrigends, Dein Deutsch ist fantastisch!! Mein Mann und ich waren im Studium 4 Monate in Lincoln, NE und haben dort über Freunde das Magazin kennengelernt und sind seitdem eifrige Leser. (Anschließend waren wir auch eine kurze Zeit in der Schweiz - Grenchen bei Solothurn- bevor wir wieder nach Deutschland gegangen sind und hier grade Wurzeln schlagen. Wir haben 2 kleine Kinder und bauen grade!)
