5 Faves


1)

This heartfelt story shared by Valerie.  I can't get it out of my mind!


2)

My favorite scent

Yankee Candles.  Even though they are a bit expensive, they have the best and strongest scents and I just can't find a cheaper candle that has the same quality.

3) 
Spring Break from Franciscan!
But Colleen, you're not even in college anymore.
I know, but our babysitter is, and she's home this week, which means my kids can stop counting down the days until her return and Phil and I can have a date!
Less like a babysitter and more like a big sister!


4) 

This coffee with the bad word in it.  It's Lent and my mom reads this blog, so you'll have to click to find out the name!  I love my coffee like I love my man ~ dark and strong ~ but then I put tons of cream in it!

This girl:
Mom, take a picture of me in your glasses!

I prayed and prayed for a daughter, and I sure got like ten daughters rolled up into one cute package!

Go see Hallie and Co for more favorites...

  2. Couple things
    1) Love me some yankee candles! I generally buy two a year and use them sparingly. And by 'buy' I mean Aaron gets them for me for Christmas or birthday :)
    2) Spring break babysitters are the best. I asked our favorite not to go to college so she could sit my boys. Unfortunately, she didn't think that would work.
    3) and most important, TOTALLY had a dream that I was at St. Peter's and Cardinal O'Malley was elected. My first response was to get on my phone so I could comment on the blog that you wrote a few days ago. Too involved in the digital world?!?! Maybe.

  3. Have you tried the yankee candle SOY candles??? I love them even more than the regular. They are clean burning and last longer than the regular ones. I find them at Marshall's, TJ maxx or Home goods.
    Coffee is my drug of choice. AND YES, cream.
    I think God gives you what you can handle.....and Maggie is a cute little handful. :)

  4. Thank you for introducing me to Valerie. What a great story of confession and conversion! Always nice to meet another St. Louisan too. I'll have to try Yankee. I've done Partylite (when my sis was a consultant) and White Barn (but those seem to evaporate in a few hours). I love scented candles, esp the fruity or pumpkin flavors.
