An update on the “Frankendress”

So, usually I write about faith and stuff, right? Yes. Well, this is CONSUMING all of my energy and attention right now. Therefore I invite you to share with me that which has eaten my life. I promise we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming soon. I originally said this dress would be calledContinue reading "An update on the “Frankendress”"

What I Wore Wednesday

By a show of hands, how many of you have ever gone shopping and ended up buying something completely different from what you had originally intended to buy? *Raises hand* Good. I'm glad we've had this talk. So, last summer I was acting/ directing/ choreographing/ costuming a really cool play with an incredibly awesome, inspiring,Continue reading "What I Wore Wednesday"

Lauren believes in me

Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren's Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don't mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.Continue reading "Lauren believes in me"

Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class

Yeah, so, I take an acrobat class. This is because once I went to a Bible Study and the icebreaker was, “If you were going to join the circus, what would you do in the circus?” And I was like, “Trapeze. Duh.” Because, really, what else is there? Right about this time my plans forContinue reading "Five Lessons Learned from Acrobat Class"

What a Week it has been!

I use the term "week" loosely, since it's Friday and Halloween was last Wednesday. Small matters. Halloween! I said I would write a post about our costumes and "I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, an elephant is faithful one hundred percent!" -Horton, from Horton Hears a Who That girl rockingContinue reading "What a Week it has been!"

The Camino, Elections, and Fears/Lies in our ears

I'll open this post by referencing another blog, one written by a Mormon mama who is interesting, talented, and has incredible home-birth stories. Just saying. Fact: she has also struggled with infertility. I loved her most recent post. She and her husband are having another baby! I love several things that she said, one ofContinue reading "The Camino, Elections, and Fears/Lies in our ears"

What I LEARNED from TEACHING Children’s Liturgy

Every so often my sister and I lead "Children's Liturgy." This means that a bunch of little kids with big eyes and legs dangling to the floor stare at us while we try to talk to them about Jesus. Here is something that I love about them: they haven't learned the "correct" answers yet, theContinue reading "What I LEARNED from TEACHING Children’s Liturgy"

St. Luke and Colleen

When I sat in mass on the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, the priest started mass with a short biography of St. Luke--but it was different from any other St. Luke bio I had ever heard. Most St. Luke biographies outline that this Evangelist wrote the Gospel according to St. Luke (kind of obvious,Continue reading "St. Luke and Colleen"
