Five Favorites (May 7th)




Found out about Five Favorites from one of my favorite mom blogs over at The Camp this evening.  Figured I was on a blogging roll so why not link up there and make it a full week!

 So, some favorites:

 1. Swedish Fish - I haven't had them in a LONG time, but tonight I made these little bags of goodies for our pre-school teachers at work and just happened to have a few left over!

 2. How I Met Your Mother - I think Ted might actually meet her this season, in just a couple of episodes and I'm just a little excited!  I've been waiting for this - and the entire scene they paint gives me hope for meeting my future spouse.  I mean if a guy with professional writers scripting his love story can't find a gal - then us lowly people without writers surely can be given a little extra time! 

 3. Pope Francis - is it not one of everyone's favorites!  I mean, really - today's tweet was:
Do not be content to live a mediocre Christian life: walk with determination along the path of holiness.
Well played Francis, well played!

4. Running - I don't know what kind of drugs I took to make this one of my crazy favorite things, but it is.  If I'm stressed (welcome to my work world) then a run after work is just what I need.  Today's including this lovely photo:


5. Finally, I just love me some Charles Schultz:

This week has been filled with many moments where I just want to cry - and it's only been two days!


Well, I hope you enjoy my Five Favorites as much as I favorite them!  Check out Grace's fun link up this week for more favorites!

    Ug! Why does everyone blog about running? They are actually making me WANT to run. =) Maybe it's a sign? I hope I will get out. If I can pray the Rosary while I jog, I can knock out 2 birds w/ 1 stone.
    PS: Love Pope Francis!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series !  A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions:  - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set.  I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick.  So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady.  One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days!  And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary  so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it!   A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee  came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress.  A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville!  She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband.  I said, ...
