I’m on a Pinterest role lately! And all it took was one Dorian Speed to provide the inspiration … or should I call that pinspiration? Dorian designed an awesome blog link-up called  ”Pinisher” — an eight-week movement to get Pinterest slackers like me to finish a project. Each week has a …

May is one of the best months of the year. For many parts of the country, this is the first time that signs of spring manage to peek through the dreary winter weather and we celebrate some very special people this month- mothers! Since May is the month of Our …

Celebrate First Sacraments…Every Year! I think the celebration of First Sacraments shouldn’t be limited to JUST the actual event, but should be celebrated annually as an anniversary!

Easter comes very early this year. As a matter of fact, it lands on March 31, my deceased grandmother’s birthday. Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays because, as a child growing up, I always got to wear pretty dresses and choose flowers for my mom-mom’s birthday. Now …
