Five years…
Catholic Family Vignettes is five years old today… I remember when I told my husband that I was going to start writing a blog. I told him I couldn’t imagine that there would actually be very many people who would want to muddle through my thoughts and musings, but wouldn’t it be cool if, say, [...]

The Garden
She lives in a garden. A beautiful garden filled with sunlight. When, as a young woman, she was asked to envision her life, she saw herself living in a high rise apartment in the heart of a big city with a potted plant as a companion. Instead, God, in His infinite wisdom, placed her in [...]

It happened one Mother’s Day…
The following event occurred on Mother’s Day 2000 and is one of my favorite memories… It was a beautiful Sunday morning. The sky was crystal clear, a celestial blue of such depth…the bowers of the flowering crab apple tree in our backyard were laden with snow-white blossoms. Each gentle breeze sent

Our Lady of Silence…
From the archives…a meditation on silence and our Lady’s model of this increasingly absent virtue… Silence. There is precious little of it in the world. In the busy life of a mother of many young ones, it is indeed rare. From cell phones, to radios, cds, dvds, mp3 players and a constant barrage of c

Why We Pray The Rosary…
This is a repost…it’s been a couple years since I’ve run it, but it’s May…the Month of Mary…a perfect time. Written on the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary in 2009 after our good priest made this statement: “Everybody has a story about the Rosary…” Those who are devoted to the Rosary and our Lady [...]

The beauty of the East…
In the twilight darkened sanctuary we hastily found seats, small rugs in hand, armed with missals and a good deal of curiosity and nervous expectation. Four of my children and I had accepted an invitation from a dear family friend to attend a Byzantine Rite Mass at St. John Chrysostom on Cleveland A

Just perfect…
…though there have certainly been a few challenges. Wednesday evening, our oldest son, Zachary, took a serious fall on a skimboard. Police officers, paramedics, an ambulance, ER doctors and nurses and a few xrays later left him splinted to the knee and diagnosed with a severe sprain. I had looked at

The better part…
Like a big blue wall, curving gentle upon the edge of the earth, the ocean presented itself. She cried. Ten years old and she’d never seen anything so big, so bright, so awesome. And I, who for the many years that I grew up surrounded by surf and shore, heart jaded by such common beauty, [...]

A joyous and blessed Easter from all of us to you…
He is risen, Alleluia! He is risen, indeed… Mass was gloriously beautiful…the great Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord is nothing less than a taste of heaven on this earth. Yet our earthly joys delight us in their simplicity… Easter joy abounds. From the beauty of the Mass, to the simple joys o

Weapons of Mass Instruction…revisited:
A post from the archives (with an update!)…from a writer who’s struggling to write…a student who’s struggling to study…and wife, mother and home educator who’s struggling to fulfill the many aspects of this worthy vocation. Needed a little lighthearted reminder that all my strength comes from the M
