In the past week, we have celebrated our youngest daughter's 2nd birthday and welcomed our first grandchild into the world. Two blessings!

Hi Alison,
Sorry for the delay on approval for the Archdiocese for the Military Services group. May family and I have been in the States for the past three weeks celebrating the wedding of our oldest son and to take our second-oldest to college. Now…

Hi Meredith,
We love Japan! We live on the north end of the same island as Tokyo (Honshu). It is a rural area, so not the crowded craziness of Tokyo, which is a blessing.
It's a great air base for family life, we think.
I'd be happy to…

Hi Judy! Thanks for the note! I may pick your brain regarding homeschooling at some point if you don't mind. My little one is still young but I anticipate we'll be homeschooling. What's Japan like?

Hi Meredith,
Welcome to the Archdiocese for the Military Services group! How blessed you are to be serving in Italy!
I am in Japan with my DoD civilian husband and 5 of our 6 children. I am an attorney, too, but am not practicing. Homeschooling is…

I felt cheated somehow by this book.
I would love to discuss it with others who have read it because I was really bothered by several things and am wondering what I'm missing because it is getting tons of press.

My husband and I are reading Introduction to the Devout Life together this Lent.
Judith Gibbons Riordon replied to Mary Alice Teti's discussion 'Where are your bags going: Trash or Good Will?' in the group 40 Bags in 40 Days
We're about half and half on trash and donations at this point (trash is about half a bag ahead). We use the same standard Joan suggested for giving away. Would someone else like to own it? (Is it in good enough condition that I would be…

You never do know. I had our sixth at 44. :) And my mom is now using the crib she bought for my youngest siblings (new enough to be safe) for the grandbabies when they visit. So if it's a nice one, it will be worth keeping.

When making donations, don't forget about the St. Vincent de Paul stores, if you have one nearby.
Judith Gibbons Riordon replied to Christine Volpe's discussion 'Family reaction?' in the group 40 Bags in 40 Days
My 5-year-old is having a hard time. It really upsets him when we decide to give things away or throw things out. I find myself sending him off with a sibling to be distracted whenever it's time to do our bag for the day. But sometimes he finds…

A broken garden cross.

3 1/2 kitchen garbage bags! Detachment is hard for me, but my daughter is helping tremendously. She's ready to organize our lives. :) We decided to go through the whole house starting in the front hall and working our way up to the bedrooms. If…
