Several years ago I sat down and drew up 26 simple Catholic coloring pages, one for each letter of the alphabet. They were good enough, but I am NOT a professional graphic designer by ANY stretch of the imagination. But lots of families used those coloring pages, and as of this morning over 20,000 people have downloaded and used them. That's sort of crazy, right?

Learning to Adore with St. Therese
There is something so sweet about the stillness and silence of the Adoration chapel. When I first committed to a Holy Hour, back in my 20's, I hated when someone else would walk in. Not good, I know, but I loved being there all alone with Our Lord. I loved having Him all to myself, and even just hearing the breathing of someone else irritated me. These days I am never in the Adoration chapel alone. I keep a Holy Hour with a hoard of noisy, impatient, loud-breathers...and if I sneak ... Read More

I've also learned the hard way that setting too many goals during this phase of life (babies and littles) is just not very realistic. Most of my day I have zero control over what happens...and what doesn't. But this ... Read More
