A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. My Son Michael- 31 Years. Those of you who know Mike personally know that his birthday is not today. I don't always get to things on my blog right away. And, I am not going to give identity thieves information that might aid in their cowardly and dastardly deeds. :-). Mike is my firstborn son who recently turned thirty-one years old. He is three in the picture below. As a toddler Mike never stopped moving. Never. Not for a second. My life was foreve...

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts: August 2015

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Wednesday, August 19, 2015. About Those Hillary Clinton Emails. With all the discussion about Hillary's email server and classified documents, I found myself asking who designates a document as classified. Turns out that the President and Vice President can classify a document, as can agency heads and officials designated by the President. So it is Hillary herself who would have the authority to designate a document as classified! Am I missing something? What follows is the ...

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts: When You Have Procrastinated Getting Your Hair Cut Forever
http://joyfulmomathome.blogspot.com/2015/07/when-you-have-procrastinated-getting.html
A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Friday, July 10, 2015. When You Have Procrastinated Getting Your Hair Cut Forever. SoI tend to procrastinate when it comes to getting my hair cut. Maybe it's because I'm cheap. Maybe I'm distracted. Maybe my attention is just usually focused on other things. Maybe I'm lazy. Whatever. Several months ago I realized it was high time for a haircut. But I measured my tresses and realized they were almost long enough to donate to Locks of Love. Definitely had the ten inch minimum.

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts: November 2014

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Friday, November 21, 2014. SAHMs Are Home Because We Believe That's Best for Our Kids. As a stay-at-home mother of some 30 years now I really feel that you mothers who have chosen to be home with your children all or most of the time could really use some encouragement. From the president's recent insult to the feminists' rants you would think there were no women who willingly and gladly chose this path in life. And yet there are some 10 million of us. In First Things Blog.

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Friday, August 07, 2015. A lot has been happening in our family. A whole lot. Those of you who know us personally know that I have more exciting news. But I have to catch up on new information about my grandchild. On Mother's Day I found out that my oldest daughter was expecting a baby. Here are the promised photos of my falling apart. We were out for dinner at Zingerman's Roadhouse, an excellent restaurant by the way, and a great place to go if you can't have gluten. Zach i...

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts: The Supreme Court Decides....That They Get To Decide.
http://joyfulmomathome.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-supreme-court-decidesthat-they-get.html
A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Friday, June 26, 2015. The Supreme Court Decides.That They Get To Decide. The enormity of today's Supreme Court decision is such that I can barely think, but I'm going to give it a try. As Justice Scalia said in his dissent:. But the Court ends this debate, in an opinion lacking even a thin veneer of law. Buried beneath the mummeries and straining-to-be-memorable passages of the opinion is a candid and startling assertion: No matter what it was the People ratified, the F...

So my daughters and I put on a shower for Esther. Anne and Esther with the food all ready to be eaten. The flourless chocolate cake in front of them is Esther's favorite and Anne's work of art. The buffet table. I know my mother was surely pleased that we were using her punch bowl! OK, I know, I'm hopelessly sentimental. They wer...

A Catholic Mother's Thoughts: January 2015
http://joyfulmomathome.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A Catholic Mother's Thoughts. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Today marks the 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade and the 42nd March for Life. Hundred of people are expected to march on Washington to protest the legalized deaths of 56 million unborn babies now, nearly 3,000 every single day. We said we did not want abortion illegal in our state. And the Supreme Court invents a Constitutional right and overturns the expressed will of the people? One year I even met Denise Hunnel. And is a fellow for Human Life In...
