7 Quick Takes 15 (Scatterbrained like Woah Edition)
Brought to you by Jen at Conversion Diary, here’s my belated edition: 1. I’m terrible at keeping anything a secret. When I get Adam a present, I can barely contain myself, and 60% of the time wind up telling him what it is or giving it to him early. So I haven’t been writing as [...]
Off the Deep End
I’ve bumped our regularly scheduled Modesty Monday post to bring you an update that makes my heart thump in my ears, my chest tight, and generally all my fight-or-flight alarms to go off. I was offered a job – making less money – at a Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Tucson. And I took it. [...]
7 quick takes 12 (My Siblings)
It’s Friday, and I hope for your sake that I’m the only one with that song stuck in my head. Anyway, as per usual, Friday means it’s time for 7 Quick Takes, hosted by the lovely Jen over at Conversion Diary! After my last 7 Quick Takes (The Power of Positive Thinking) post, this last [...]
7 quick takes 11 (The Power of Positive Thinking Edition)
Friday means it’s time for 7 Quick Takes, hosted by the lovely Jen over at Conversion Diary! It’s been a rough week for me. I’ve written about the dr’s appt (sorry about all that whining) and it seems like that was a trigger that tipped my stupid system toward a deep lethargic low. And, as [...]
Mardi Gras
So, if you read yesterday’s post, which was a part of the Lenten Linkup over at Alluring World, you saw my self-congratulatory rambling on my Lenten theme, but I didn’t give any specifics. Well, believe me, my inner Martha wouldn’t let me get away with not having very specific, concrete goals, so here they are: [...]
Don’t let them Muddy the Waters
If you have never been to the Holocaust Museum in DC, you should go. I’ve heard the one in LA is great, too – but I’ve never been, so I can’t speak to that. The one in DC is enormously powerful, and is simultaneously awesome and awful, wonderfully terrible, brutally beautiful. Let me be clear, [...]
Let’s start a new meme.
Here’s my reasoning: 1 – if we, as women, are going to rebel against objectification and the unreasonable standard for beauty set by models, etc, then we can’t very well oggle over Ryan Gosling. That’d be hypocritical. 2 – everyone knows a man who goes to mass regularly is sexier than any movie star. 3 [...]
On being Pro-Life and Christian
So, if you have read my post on the things that the pro-life movement does which I find faulty, or my post on how I came to be Pro-Life in the first place, and if you enjoyed them, then I strongly recommend you read these: Caffeinated Catholic Mama’s Offering Hands and Hearts cautions those of us on [...]
You’re doing it Wrong: 4 things about the Pro-Life movement that drove me away in the first place (and which still irritate me to no end)
You may have read a post I wrote about my struggles with the Pro-Life movement. I am confidently and firmly pro-life, but I am still not comfortable as part of the pro-life movement. I will write grants for crisis pregnancy centers, I’ll bring water bottles and sandwiches to the end of the Pro-Life march on [...]
This is not Live Journal
My name is Kate, and as of writing this, I’m 27 years old. In June of 2011, I married the funniest, holiest, most generous & thoughtful man on earth. We are Catholic. We live happily in Tucson, but I spent the first 23 years of my life in Upstate New York. We have a dog [...]
