Halloween – But it’s not Byzantine! Halloween, which is also called All Hallow’s Eve (I like this one best because it sounds old fashioned and I love that), Hallowmas, Hallowtide, or All Saint’s Eve, happens on October 31st. Right? Well, kind of. For Roman Catholics, and anyone celebrating whatever comes up on a secular calendar, yes. But …
There’s been a lot of talk lately about the stay at home life. And views about this topic tend to be quite strong. From staying at home is a waste of a woman’s time and talents, to a woman working outside the home after marriage is a demonic invention. Yikes! So, with all this talk …

Home Education With A Two Year Old My eldest is getting ready to turn two. And with a newborn in the house, it’s easy not to get anything done at all in a day. I want to start some good habits now, to be sure we are ready and disciplined enough for grade-school homeschooling when …
Surviving the first two weeks home with a Newborn and Toddler In case you missed the news, we just had our second baby! We call her Little Badger. Badger ended up being a great choice because she has her father’s hair and eyes. We went home from the hospital roughly 36 hours after delivering Little …
Going into labour has to be one of strangest experiences I’ve ever had. Even as we were driving to the hospital, we weren’t sure it was the real thing. I just knew I was in a lot of pain and I needed help. So, as I await going into labour a second time, I’m working …
