Prayers, please!
We are trying really hard to get into a three-bedroom apartment. We filled out the applications and sent them in. I didn’t do something correctly, and when I sent an appeal letter, I was asked to reapply. So, tonight Child #2 and I reapplied. Please pray for us that we can get this apartment.

A Miraculous Tribute with a survivor of 9/11
The following story is about a unhappy man, who found escape through Our Lady’s intercession and Her Rosary that he received from a group that supports her mission from Fatima.

Things to Teach: Honesty
The other day children #’s 2, 4, and I were at an amusement park. We were excited to find that my favorite water ride was finally open, after almost 2 years of being closed! Yay!

Six Word Story #31
It’s Spicy Chicken!!!!
We have been looking for a recipe for baked chicken nuggets for quite some time. We have finally discovered one!

Therefore, I had to find another way in which to use them.Continue reading “It’s Spicy Chicken!!!!”
Give me your tired, your poor, your dirty socks…
What? Yeah. Dirty socks. And dirty sweatshirts. And holey t-shirts. And shredded, stretched out, dirty underwear. Are you totally disgusted? Child #2 and I were. We found all these items in the donated clothes given to the shelter where we are staying. So, you really want me to dress my child in your child’s old,Continue reading “Give me your tired, your poor, your dirty socks…”
