O Lord and Master of my life! Take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King! Grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother; For Thou art blessed unto ages of ages.



Amen

Micaela asked and I answered

I recently got to participate in something pretty cool. 
Meet Micaela from the blog California to Korea (and back again).  Micaela has a running series on homeschooling where she has interviewed a wide range of homeschooling mommas and invited me to join.  I was both surprised and excited!  

 The series is called "How I Homeschool".  The ladies that have already participated have contributed their varied homeschooling styles, experiences, and recommendations.  Many, if not all, of the names are well known around the Catholic Homeschooling Blog sphere; Dwija, Jessica @ Housewifespice, Cari, Annery,  Kelly and my local friend Kendra. If not, this is a good crowd to know.

 What I have personally liked about the series is the diversity of each family.  If you read her series (and you should) the reality of homeschooling is wonderfully expressed in each interview.  Whether you are new to home schooling, thinking about it or have been at it for years each of these interviews hit on some aspect of of this crazy venture we are on.

 Read on and enjoy: How I Homeschool: The Series

 My contribution post has been the first post in quite a while.  Thank you Micaela for inviting me and thanks Kendra for the connection. God bless y'all :-)

Answer me This:: along with some news

 Joining up with Kendra @ 
Catholic All Year
for this week's Answer Me This
(a little late, but here I am)

 1. Do you have a smart phone?

 Yes.  It's not a Iphone.  It's not one of the newer 4G kind of smart phones.  It's an Android and the best thing I can say about having it has been the handy use of the GPS. 

 2. Which is your favorite meal of the day?

 I'm with Kendra on this one.  BREAKFAST.  Over easy eggs, topped with a spicy nopale (catus) salad and sourdough bread!!!  Oh YES!!!

3. Shower or bath?

 I may be a rare breed here, but I prefer showers.  I get cold in baths. I don't have a big spa-like tub to submerge myself completely, so I rarely get comfortable.  Nope, it's just not me.  

 Funny, last Sunday I wasn't feeling well and I felt like taking a bath. I was just beginning to enjoy it when I felt the sway of the water.  A slight tremble that kept going and the loofah hanging from the rack was moving.  It was a 4.2 earthquake!

 That was the end of my bath.

 4. Think of a person you love. How many days have you been in love with that person?

 Well that would be Victor, my honey.  

 And we just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last Thursday.  

 We met, fell in love, and started 'dating' right from the get.  Married several years later (oh yes there is a story there) and loving every minute of it.

Total time together: 6386 days
That is: 17 years, 5 months, 26 days

 How cool is that number!

 5. What's the best church you've ever been inside?

 Blessed!  We were so blessed to have been able to travel a bit a few years ago and visit my brother in London.  While we were there we celebrate Mass at this quaint little parish, Corpis Cristi Catholic Church.  It was cozy, reverent, and felt like home

 Then, being that we so close to Paris, we jumped at the chance to visit the city and some of her holy-hot spots.  
Notre Dame


Sacre Coeur (just awesome)


Christ the King Chapel at Christendom College

Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
in Washington D.C

They are all beautiful churches.  Hard to pick just one, but my two top choices have to be the little church in London and the grand Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.  Say that 10 times fast...

6. Happy Feast of the Visitation (on Saturday)! Has anyone ever come to help YOU?

 I thought about this for a while.  There have been people around, always after each the kids' births.  For sure my in-laws, mom, sister-in-law.  I remember lots of friends and loved ones visiting each child. Lots of food, but mostly lots of people waiting to greet and love the new born baby.  Ya know we all love that new baby smell.

 But, during the pregnancy?  The same family members have always been around to lend out a hand.  The family is just super close that way.

 Perhaps I'll have a better answer to this question later, as this pregnancy progresses.

 On our anniversary we had a little surprise waiting for the kids and family.  A baby, due in January, will be coming to join our little clan. We are over the moon at the news of this gift.
