This Happened ... over the weekend!

A recap of the weekend in pics!


A new pizza with Naan Bread as the crust, beet hummus as the sauce, all topped with spinach, tomatoes, and honey goat cheese.  And yes that is my SUPER messy desk (only one section) ... it still looks like that - until World Feast 2014 is over, I think it'll look just like this!  If you're in the Charlotte Area, come on over on the 18th of this month!


All of these great fall veggies, turned into this...


Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, Apples, Carrots, Onions, Garlic ... YUM-O!


No one ever brings me flowers at work ... so I took matters into my own hands by picking my own after Mass.  So now happiness on my desk!


I even attended Mass in the Extraordinary Form on Saturday morning in Honor of Our Lady.  It was lovely - and really quite peaceful.  There was music, but I think I may have liked it even more without - just quiet morning time with the Lord.  And I could not get over how beautiful the incense was with the sun shining in!  A Happy Saturday Morning!


On Saturday for breakfast I made Italian Baked Eggs, they were delicious - but had to cook way longer than the recipe said (almost 20 minutes rather than 10) - but the yolk in the one got way too cooked, which is not my favorite.  But I think I'll make them again - mostly because it was SO easy - tomato sauce on bottom, then a whole egg, followed by S&P and Parmesan cheese!


A lovely photo from my mantle of Our Lady and her mantel!


I've had this frame painting for a while and had a terrible chalk board attached to it, but never wrote on it.  So I decided to take the excessive amount of corks I've collected and make a push pin board to add prayers for those in need.  (HINT: if you want to make something like this with corks - glue them to a piece of cardboard or another backing, not to each other.  You'll go crazy!)  So if you have any prayer requests pass them along and I'd love to pin them up for daily offerings!  Pretty happy to finally have them decoration up in my kitchen, the heart of a home!


Delicious Sunny Side Up Eggs on a bed of spinach!  Oh the week of new recipes!!!


I spent Sunday evening with our Confirmation III students talking about how we are Made for Mission.  We made a little connection that if we want to get to Heaven we've got to either be Angels, God, or Saints.  How do we become saints? Be Holy!  How to do we be holy? Fulfill our God Given Mission!  How to do we find out our mission? Pray!

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

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: 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
