Like a tiny key. Or more aptly, the absence of a tiny key. My Charming and Patient Husband gave me a roll top desk for my birthday. I mean a beautiful, lovely, delightful and splendid real oak roll top. I’ve wanted one ever since I was a little girl, and he worked all day to […]

I’m feeling kind of excited today. That’s because I ordered a couple of lesson planners from CHC, and they shipped them the same day!

This morning I read a delightful post on Catholic Pillow Fight, in which Tony discusses his views on science fiction and literature. I read it to my charming and […]

Note to self:

Our Dreams Are Like Our Children

| December 16, 2006

No, I’m not waxing sentimental. Actually, it’s a game we have in our family, an inside joke if you will.
