Friday Fun Day

Today is our wrap-up of Catholic Schools Week.  It's been a long and crazy week, but we enjoy it so much!  This afternoon, our staff is surprising the kids with a flash mob during the staff vs. 8th grade volleyball game.  Should be a fun time!  What's on your mind today?  Have something fun planned for the weekend?  Want to share a success from this week?

Soup's On

What are your go-to easy meals?  Favorite soup recipes?  Yummy Super Bowl snacks?  Please share!

I do!

We all know that we must make a daily decision to love our beloved, but sometimes it's easier said than done, right?  What can you do TODAY to show your spouse just how much you love and appreciate him?

Being a woman is great, right?

Okay, I'll just put it out there.  We use Natural Family Planning and I have a love/hate relationship with it.  Whew!  Felt good to say that out loud.  It has blessed our marriage more than I can tell you, but lately it has become a thorn.  Anyone else out there struggling with NFP?  Other health issues?  Need prayers? 

Bless the Little Children

We have two wonderful children who always pick up after themselves, eat their veggies, and never ask for anything.  Okay, so not true!  They do pick up...when we ask them.  They never eat their veggies, except for our dear daughter who actually likes broccoli.  And it seems like we're forever fighting the "Can I have...?" in the checkout line.  All that being said, would I trade one single second?  No way!  I wasn't one of those young girls who dreamed about a wedding and kids.  Truthfully, I didn't even see myself getting married.  God obviously had other plans and blessed me with the best husband ever...and then sent us two children made just for us.  They share our quick wit and love of sarcasm, our obsession with 80's music, and would pick staying in their pajamas all day on a Saturday over doing most anything else.  Many days, I just look at them wonder what in the heck I did so right to deserve such gifts.  What do you have in common with your children?  What are you struggling with right now?  What have they done to make you proud lately?

Gospel Reflection

This weekend, we see Jesus walking along the Sea of Galilee and calling Simon and Andrew to His ministry.  They, along with James and John, left everything and followed Jesus.  What do you need to leave behind in order to grow closer to God?  What is detouring you on your way to Heaven?  How can you start TODAY to change your path?

Friday Fun Day!

What's on your mind today?  Big plans for the weekend?  Date night with the hubby?
