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!

  1. 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!

I Look Into my Inbox and What Did I See?

I receive the weekly notes from the Catholic Match Institute since my unsuccessful dabble in Online Dating some time ago ( link ) and today's included the face of one of my favorite priests. A man who helped me become the Catholic woman, for better or worse, that I am today. He is doing a series of five videos for CM through Advent. The first two are below ... I encourage you to watch them and stay tuned for the next three! Fr. Ananias, OSB - what an Advent treat!

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 out o

Small Changes Have a Dramatic Effect

The last time I was at the doctor I was talking about my health, which was great, and I mentioned that I wanted to make some changes to be healthier (read: smaller). I prefaced my question with something that I know to do which is to lose weight: exercise more and eat less. Dr. W confirmed it is really all about math - more calories out than in. Her advice wasn't just "eat less, exercise more." It was actually more helpful, take the next year and make a different lifestyle change every month and in a year your life will be different. I really took that to heart and when I got home, I made a list of 12 habits or lifestyle changes that I wanted to undertake. I gave myself credit for a few that I had started a while ago that were great changes that I felt made a huge difference. At the end of the year I will probably have made about 7 or 8 overall changes but some of them were steps to bigger things. They are small steps that have made a huge difference in my life. I'v
