I made it to DAY 3 of the 31 Days of Blogging Challenge and I am combining this with Five Minute Friday this week. This weeks word is WRITE. So here goes nothing… Start When I started this 31 Days project I thought it was a tad ridiculous. I go for periods of barely writing […]

DAY 1 of the 31 Days of Blogging Challenge has come and gone and it’s way past midnight and I’m just now sitting down to write days 1 post. I can say I was actually pretty successful today in terms of updating my Dad’s website. But I am just slow in getting this post written […]
NAS: Can a Career be a Vocation??
This weeks topic is about vocations….specifically, “Can a Career be a Vocation?” This should lead to several interesting posts! Can’t wait to read everyone’s contributions! I’ll never forget this retreat I attended when I was a freshman in college. It was a very small retreat (less than 15 of us). Several people got sick last […]
31 Days of Blogging Introduction
So I had never heard of this link-up until a few weeks ago. I think someone on twitter posted a link to it….at first I thought this is an INSANE idea. I blogged everyday for 7 days a few months ago and man that was a lot of work. Then I noticed people blogged for […]

Five Minute Friday: TRUE
This weeks word is TRUE. This word is a doosey. The TRUTH is what you see on this blog and what I am in real life…doesn’t always match. I’m scared to put the “real me” out there on this blog because I think people will think I’m a crazy nut-job that needs to be institutionalized..okay […]

NAS: Favorite Blogs
This week we are linking up to our favorite Mom Blogs. Confession I HATE the term Mom blogs. Not because I’m not a Mom and Single but I don’t know it just tends to have a negative connotation. I also believe that yes women are moms but they also have careers, likes, dislikes, interests, etc. […]

Five Minute Friday: MERCY
I’m back again for another Five Minute Friday. This weeks word is MERCY. Here goes nothing!! GO MERCY. Such a small world with such a HUGE meaning. When I hear the word MERCY the Catholic in me can’t help but think of the “Lord Have Mercy” response we sometimes say or sing during the […]
