String of Pearls: A Reminder to Cherish Every Minute
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-reminder-to-cherish-every-minute.html
Saturday, July 11, 2015. A Reminder to Cherish Every Minute. I have recently had a loud and clear reminder that it is important to cherish every minute, because life can change in an instant.without warning, when you're tootling along without a care in the world and you least expect it. But why didn't it itch? Those red spots looked exactly like the ones that appeared on my face the day my fourth son was born. He weighed in at almost eleven pounds (yes, I said. After check-in and initial questions from t...

String of Pearls: April 2011
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. Well, if you've been watching any of the coverage today of the royal wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton, there's one thing you've figured out about the British:. They're mad about hats! There's something about the wearing of a fancy hat that adds such pinache to an outfit. It's such a retro thing, a throwback to other eras when there was no such thing as unisex dressing and women celebrated their femininity through fashion. As a sidenote, there was another thing that plea...

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Devotion to St. Philomena. If you don't know the story of this amazing little saint, you might be interested in learning about her. I was going to try to write a short summary of St. Philomena's life and her path to sainthood, but I found a website that does it more beautifully and succinctly than I ever could. The address is http:/ www.catholictradition.org/Saints/philomena.htm. You will get the major details of St. Philomena's extraordinary life and her miraculous powers. And add...

String of Pearls: I Smell a Sequel to Yesterday's Post
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-smell-sequel-to-yesterdays-post.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. I Smell a Sequel to Yesterday's Post. If you read yesterday's post. You know that our twin granddaughters like to sniff their Papa and me. They tell us that we have a smell (a good one, I trust), and that it lingers behind us when we leave a room. This need to smell us has always seemed rather endearing, although a little bizarre. But apparently, it's not as strange as one might think. As both Nancy Shuman. Susan starts sniffing the coat he is wearing] My dear, what are you doing?

String of Pearls: August 2011
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Men Are from Mars, Women Love to Talk. Although I am, as always, a bit nervous about the flight, I'm also excited about this trip. I'm really looking forward to some good. Even if the babies can't respond yet, that doesn't mean. The last time I saw them, about a month ago, they were really good listeners! I'll wonder; he has not had. Thought floating around in his head, not even "I could really go for some nachos right about now," or "Notre Dame better beat Navy this year"?

String of Pearls: My Pearls of Great Price
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-pearls-of-great-price.html
Wednesday, March 30, 2011. My Pearls of Great Price. In case you're wondering how I came up with the title for my blog, I named it for my 5 boys. Their high school varsity lacrosse coach (who sometimes had as many as 3 Pearls playing on the team at once) always referred to them as a "string of pearls," so there you have it. Here is a picture of my 5 priceless gems, rendered in cartoon form by son #4 (we all think he's. Will be added as well. June 29, 2013 at 10:30 AM. November 2, 2013 at 8:47 AM. Okay, w...

String of Pearls: From Ascension Press: Altaration--The Mystery of the Mass Revealed
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2015/04/from-ascension-press-altaration-mystery.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. From Ascension Press: Altaration- The Mystery of the Mass Revealed. The world has undergone some frightening alterations. Recently here at the blog. There is hidden poison in that carrot; but many will look upon this group's scholarship offer as a good opportunity for our young people. The world is in an altered state, my friends, where bad is good and good is bad. Isn't scary enough, there is also a children's book out there on the subject of abortion, called. Children's books...

String of Pearls: Saying Yes to Mom's/Grandma's Heirloom Dress
http://mumsie2five.blogspot.com/2015/07/saying-yes-to-momsgrandmas-heirloom.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Saying Yes to Mom's/Grandma's Heirloom Dress. I promised a Part 2 to yesterday's post. So here it is. The dress Mom chose is utterly magnificent. It is made of champagne-colored satin, with a layer of soft tulle over it to soften the sheen. It is actually very simple and unfussy, except for the illusion bodice bordered with cutwork, intricate beading, and tiny seed pearl embellishments. The epic train on this gown is cathedral-length. I whispered desperately. She always liked t...

String of Pearls: March 2011

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Knit One, "Pearl" Two. That's the only knitting jargon I know. I'm not a knitter. I love to sew, and for a few years when my boys were young, I dabbled in cross-stitch. But for some reason, I've always been a bit intimidated by knitting. To me, it seems very hard to do. If you'd like to see some of her projects, you should check out her blog, "Mother of Pearls" ( http:/ momofpearls.blogspot.com/. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. My Pearls of Great Price. Talented). With a few simp...
