life planning
Christina M | November 27, 2006
This summer, I bought Franklin Planner software. I’ve used the paper version before, but I had concluded that the software would be less expensive in the long run than having to keep buying refills, and I liked the idea of a “to do” list that carries forward. In most ways, it has met my expectations. […]

Whiteboard idea
Christina M | October 12, 2006
If you homeschool, you probably do whiteboards, too. Or if you have a big family, with kids who keep different schedules. Or if you’re looking for the perfect housekeeping “method” or chore chart. Today’s idea is simple: make your own whiteboards using picture frames. I did it, and it worked out better than I expected. […]
Guy Kawasaki’s Hindsights
Christina M | October 7, 2006

Jesus loves you… but I’m His favorite.
Christina M | September 17, 2006
It was one of those embarrassing moments on the road, when you know you’re guffawing so hard that the other drivers are looking askew at you. You’re all alone, and you laugh the kind of laugh that, if you had a carbonated beverage, would be dangerous. It was all because I’d seen a bumper sticker […]
Obedience
Christina M | September 15, 2006
Last night, my Carmelite group had an unusual meeting. Usually we meet on Saturdays, but this month because of a retreat we did not have our regular meeting. We met on a Thursday evening, though, for discussion and formation, without the meeting. All I can say is God knows my needs. We read and discussed […]
Church Lady
Christina M | August 30, 2006
Ok, I’m not really the new “church lady,” but lately it sometimes feels that way. I volunteered to be the new religious education coordinator at our parish, and now that the initial flurry and panic have passed, the reality is setting in. I have a key. I’ve never been a key lady before. When I […]
