Favorite Mom Blogs {Not Alone Series}

I've been dragging my feet about linking up with Morgan and Jen and the Not Alone Series, but I saw the topics for the next few weeks and feel like it's time to join in on this community.  After all of the support from Cindy a few weeks ago, I've decided I need to do this!  So, my first jaunt into the group...


Favorite Mom Blogs


Well, I have SO many that I think this post could be a series in and of itself, so here goes (as I look at my BlogLovin' subscriptions - of which I have 218 unread posts):

1. Camp Patton: Grace is amazing - she someone keeps it together and still has the cutest little kiddos ever (no offense to the rest of the mom bloggers below, but her Theo looks like a cabbage patch doll!)!!

2. Carrots for Michaelmas: I stumbled upon Haley with the Women Speak on NFP Series post that someone who I cannot remember guest posted for a while ago.  I love that she is trying to be a Catholic Urban Homesteader (or something like that) - I just really like reading her stuff.  And also, I always think I can someone raise my own chickens after reading her posts!  Which is crazy, because seriously - can you see me chopping off a chicken's head???

3. We are THAT Family ...you know the ones:  Not sure how I got to Kristen, but I'm inspired regularly by her work at Mercy House in Kenya, and I'd be lying if I didn't dream about being like her someday!  Also, she rocks at explaining why to do these crazy Catholic things with her kids and how it's making them into better human beings (hopefully).

4. God is Here: She doesn't blog much at all now, but a very good friend knows Maria and I was daily drawn closer to the Lord as I read about her struggle and triumph with Vivian.  I can't do her story justice in a  few words, but the idea that 'children are entrusted to parents' and 'their sole purpose is to get them to Heaven' is explained in her writing during the struggle.  If you have hours and box of Kleenex, head on over.

5. The Big Mama Blog: Melanie is hilarious!  Loved her when I read her book Big Sparkly Green Earrings.  

6. Conversion Diary: Jen is a fantastic writer - and the reason I blog!  So, thanks lovely Catholic woman with 6 children who I've never met but love!

7. People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Jen is new to my subscriptions, but hilarious.  And seriously, sometimes we just want to punch them - hard.  We won't, but that doesn't mean we don't want to!

8. There's More Where That Came From: Paige says it like it is.  There was this one post about coffee a few weeks ago that has solidified me reading her forever!

I think 8 might be it for me - definitely not all of the blogs in my feed, but a good start for you.  Sorry I didn't link to my favorite posts, but well ... there are no excuses.  I will just hang my head down in shame...

Thanks for Jen and Morgan for hosting!  Head on over to Morgan's to see everyone else's great posts on the link up!  Gotta read down my 218 posts so I can add new from all the great gals tonight!

    Welcome. I am loving your list, I am familiar with 1, 2 and 6. Then I took some time to get familiar with 8 and 3 (the names just demanded it) and I likey, I love Paige's (#8) writing style. Looking forward to checking out the rest.

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, ...
