Day 28: Podcasts

When I was still working, I listened to Pandora for much of the day. I had some pretty great stations figured out, but then I got into podcasts. When you work in operations in a cubicle all day, it's easy to keep up-to-speed on podcasts, so I subscribed to many.

Life as an at-home parent does not allow me nearly as much time to listen to my beloved podcasts. I try to get one in a day, usually during meal cleanup. 

Some of my favorites include: 
Catholic Stuff You Should Know
Messy Parenting
The Simple Show
Fountains of Carrots
Evangelical Disciple (our excellent priest's weekend homilies)

I also occasionally listen to:
The Jennifer Fulwiler Show
UMD Newman Catholic Campus Ministry (homilies from Fr. Mike Schmitz)
America's Test Kitchen
Catholic Answers Focus
This Inspired Life

There are more I've been wanting to try out, like Happier With Gretchen Rubin, but just haven't made the time. 

Yesterday I got a little shout-out from one of my favorite podcasters, Father Nathan Goebel, of CSYSK. I sent him a silly Christmas card via snail mail and he mentioned it on the podcast! Whoop! Yay for me. I have proclaimed him my spirit animal, so I was super excited. 

I'm definitely grateful for podcasts because they have enhanced my life. I have been entertained, taught, evangelized, and made to think through this excellent medium.

Day 149: Date with Mom

Mom and I slipped away yesterday afternoon for a trip to town. We had a relaxing couple of hours away from all the chaos at the lake. We shopped, drove around town chatting, I visited the sacrament of reconciliation, and we picked up my favorite small-town pizza joint pizza for supper. I love my hometown so much, but don't spend much time there anymore now that my parents live at the lake. I enjoyed cruising around town catching up on the changes and updates. Mom caught me up on local news, and I accidentally bought a dress, two shirts and a travel mug. That type of thing happens when I hang with my mom, but that's OK!  It was a wonderful afternoon and I'm grateful for our little escape.

I Am A Blogger: CWBN 2017 Recap

The last weekend in March I had the great pleasure of attending a real life blogging conference! Like a real blogger! Cathedral of St. Paul Jacqui ,  Anna  and  Susanna  hosted the Catholic Women's Blogging Network Twin Cities get together at a stunning Summit Avenue mansion in St. Paul. Thirty-some wonderful Catholic women from the Twin Cities, the Midwest, and even Maryland joined up to talk blogging and really just to support each other and build each other up. My friend Monica encouraged me to go, and I signed up on a bit of a whim, figuring that if I paid for registration I'd be more inclined to go. If I didn't have a mutual friend link to one of the organizers, and if a couple of my most favoritest bloggers hadn't been speakers, I'd probably have chickened out.  In response to my evident nerves on the way, my husband wisely mused, "Well, if you're going to walk into a group of people you don't know, this is probably the best group yo...

Day 305: That's What Neighbors Are For

Here's one of my little elves and Santa trick- or-treating at Frontier Village. Not exactly related to today's gratitude, but proof that we did Halloween. I'm so distracted by the World Series, but I don't want to fall too far behind again!  Monday's gratitude was for the kindness of neighbors. Specifically David and Mary. My husband leaves early for work and about an hour later, I usher everyone outside to get #1 to school Well, Monday morning we discovered that the minivan was dead. Super dead. I couldn't get a hold of my spouse; it turned out he was offsite so not checking his phone or email. We don't really know anyone in town I could call for a situation such as this. Things happened, thoughts were thought, and I eventually knocked on the door of our elderly(ish) neighbors two floors down to see if he could jump my van. I knew he had a truck and would likely be able to help me, but aside from saying hello, we'd not met. Well, my pal Davi...
