7 Quick Takes - Friday the 13th (April)



So, this is my first 'take' at 7 Quick Takes.  I've been reading Jennifer's over at Conversion Diary for a while - and am beginning my quest to become a blogger.  Not sure how much I really have to say, but I have a few good ideas every other day - so here goes nothing!

New Found Pinterest Love!


I didn't think I could be taken up into the cloud that is known as pinterest!  But, I was very, very wrong :(  I love seeing the extra-ordinary things ordinary people have done!  Some awesome recipes, super cute DIY stuff for the house, and SO much more!!!  Follow me!

Finally - a real reason to "keep calm" !!! and to STAY calm!!!

Favorite long lost song ... that I just found again!



There are definitely some days when I feel like praying like this ... not that I do, but I kinda want to.  It's like a scene from this week's Last Many Standing when they were praying for the one daughter to lose her soccer game so the dad's plans weren't interrupted!  But that's really just terrible, we've gotta be a little bit better than that!

Christmas Crocheting


Yes, you read that correctly ... this weekend I started crocheting present for Christmas!  I saw this cute head band with two flowers on it in the 365 Crochet A Day calendar I bought back in January.  So, three gifts down only about a hundred to go!

Whenever I'm afraid I will trust in You.  Psalm 56:3

enough said ... now if only I can follow through!

Prayer of Jabez - "Oh, that you may truly bless me and extend my boundaries! Help me and make me free of misfortune, without pain!"

Started last Sunday praying for an expansion in our youth ministry program at my parish.  The first two days were complete chaos in my spiritual life.  Hopefully the next 44 days will be a little more fruitful.

My current workout is driving me crazy.  It's still really hard to do (not too much muscle memory yet), but yet I'm bored with it.  I'm bored with the entire routine really ... want something a little different.  Really, what I want is to be satisfied with my current body shape and size.  I'm not sure I have ever felt that way.  There may have been a few days during my freshman year in high school or the year I turned 7; but other than that, I've always struggled.  Working on being good with myself this week.

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
