Little House in Chicago: Poem Discussion: The Master Speed, "Wing to Wing, Oar to Oar"
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2013/06/poem-discussion-master-speed-wing-to.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Thursday, June 27, 2013. Poem Discussion: The Master Speed, "Wing to Wing, Oar to Oar". Today I was in a meeting when I noticed this book. On a shelf in the conference room. I've heard good things about the Kasses' anthology before, so I decided to Google it when I got back to my desk. Imagine my delight to find that the title comes from a Robert Frost poem. (Frost is Frank's favorite poet, and we're both big fans.) The poem, The Master Speed. I liked this po...

Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Books, Books, Books. Great Books for Girls. Great Books for Everybody Else. Great Books for Girls. I spent the summer of 2009 teaching Character Education at a summer school for inner-city girls. Many of the girls came from loving families who wanted their daughters to have a good education that would enable a better life. The girls' moms often asked me what books their daughters should be reading. What books will help her love reading? Are You My Mother?

Little House in Chicago: Montessori Workshop: Part 1
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2013/07/montessori-workshop-part-1.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Monday, July 29, 2013. Montessori Workshop: Part 1. I have good news. :) Remember a million years ago (back before I moved to Chicago and got married—so basically a lifetime ago—in March) when my friend Ruth planned the most amazing all-day Montessori workshop. Just wait out this week; it'll be over soon.). A few things to note:. These are the exact notes I took during the lectures, so they were scribbled down quickly and may be rough and hard to understand&#...

Little House in Chicago: How to be the best Confirmation Sponsor proxy ever!
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-be-best-confirmation-sponsor.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Tuesday, April 2, 2013. How to be the best Confirmation Sponsor proxy ever! Saturday night was my second year in a row being a proxy sponsor at someone's Confirmation. You could say I'm pretty much a pro. :). So two years in, here's what I've learned so far:. 1 Don't forget the card! That's Dean getting confirmed! He took the name Thomas More. Last year, I forgot the card. So if you're a forgetful type (like me), wear clothes with pockets. 2 Bring a crowd.

Little House in Chicago: Louisville Road Trip: Saturday
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2015/03/louisville-road-trip-saturday.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Friday, March 20, 2015. Louisville Road Trip: Saturday. I always laugh when I think of that episode of How I Met Your Mother in which Lily and Marshall are trying desperately (and failing) to find other "couple friends" to hang out with. It really is harder when you're in a relationship to find friends you BOTH want to hang out with than it is to find friends when you're single. Saturday morning, after breakfast, we drove out to the Buffalo Trace. Man, that p...

Little House in Chicago: My Maid of Honor speech
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-maid-of-honor-speech.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Thursday, August 15, 2013. My Maid of Honor speech. It seems so funny that at age 23 I'm already a "matron," so I've been using "maid of honor" and "matron of honor" interchangeably. Why was this time different? Coincidentally wearing matching outfits when she visited me last November. My goal with my speech was to make someone cry. I mean, that's the sign of a good speech, right? So now that I gave you that. Introduction. the speech is after the jump (an...

Little House in Chicago: A Letter to Single Catholic Guys
http://littlehouseinchicago.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-letter-to-single-catholic-guys.html
Little House in Chicago. Books, Books, Books. Friday, July 12, 2013. A Letter to Single Catholic Guys. Frank helped me write this (which is why I use "we" a lot), and I think most of this could apply to girls too. Do you have anything you'd like to add? Please let me know in the comments! Dear Twenty-something Catholic Guy,. A lot of people may be telling you, "There's no rush to meet a girl! Hopefully that gives you some idea of where to start. Personally I think it's a very wise and perceptive post.
