My first 7 Quick Takes!! on Friday

I am so super proud of my kids this week...writing Thank you notes for Christmas!  To be truthful, this is the first time I have asked it of them.  (BAD mommy) but they are into it!!

We have had a really mild winter in Kansas City.  Yesterday was VERY cold with snow!  I just wanted to huddle in the house with my children and drink warm beverages!  No matter what the weather is like in your part of the country I hope that you are having a nice January!

I made a meal for a friend who has had her 6th child in 8 years.  I do not think making meals for new mommies is my calling.  I worried all night that it tasted horrible or there was too much spinach in it or what if no one ate it!   I just kept thinking it is not about me and I was helping someone else.

I have started Project life for 2012. Maybe I will even become knowledgable enough to post a link to my pages.  I think there are a lot of scrapbook websites and they all share their religion. Perhaps this is what Catholic bloggers need to make our blogs more readable!  http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jennifer-fulwiler/why-are-there-no-catholic-mom-bloggers-on-this-top-100-list/.  I just need to remember to not freak out about perfectionism and to allow time to work on it every week, and to make it cute, and to take good pictures...oh dear.  It could be a long year!

I am so bad at computers I have already messed up the formatted template that Jennifer made for me on this # 5 and I can't fix it!  Oh well...there is always next week to practice!

I am always trying to pray more so I bought the first Conversations with God book when Advent began and I was amazing, mostly good at using it.  I went to my local bookstore to buy volume 2.  I brought it home to use and was really frustrated to learn that I needed volume 4 for a part of ordinary time and that volume 2 was for the beginning of Lent! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

I really enjoy reading all of your quick takes each week!  I learn so much about my Catholic Faith and how to apply it in my own life!  I hope you enjoy my first entry! Thank you so much! (I am having the same issue as number 5 but I am going to ignore it!)

Resolutions

I hope everyone had a Beautiful, Healthy, Blessed Christmas Holiday.  I hope your New Years was safe and FUN!  I have been eyeball deep in other peoples blogs!!  I don't do resolutions because in the past I set myself up for Epic Fail mode by saying I was going to do this and this and this and this and I will finally be organized!!  Nope.  Now I try to add one thing and always say more scrapbooking.  Sweet Leanne at www.lifehappenswhen.com commented on my blog and told me she liked it!  If that isn't motivation I don't know what is!!  So maybe I will be blogging more this year!  There is a lot going on in the Prolife movement and the Catholic Church!  What is God asking you to do this year? 

Happy Epiphany!! (a day late...yep that sounds more like me!)
