Sonlight Garden: small successes

June 04, 2009

small successes

The vanis still clean. Woo Hoo! This is miraculous. I have been a stickler about "what goes in the van must come back out". Dolls, books, socks, etc. So far so good.

I received the Seton catalog in the mail and I believe this is the first time in our homeschooling career that I have not been tempted to sign up with them. I have nothing against Seton. I just feel like we have hit a groove as far as what we do here day in and day out. It feels good.

I got a really bad hair cut and I did not cry. My hair is hacked pretty bad right now. I was going for the "stacked bob" look. I even showed her pictures. That is not what I got however. Oh well, it's hair, it will grow back right?!

Oh I really do keep meaning to participate in Small Successes. So encouraging!

Oh, the hair issue! I thought I would try a nice salon cut now that age 40 is not too far off. I took the bait on the expensive hair products and styling instructions but still could not reproduce the "doo" at home. The stylist's suggestion? But their $235 flat iron! NOT! Back to frumpy hair I guess!

Oh my goodness the same thing happened to me about 6 weeks ago. I have no idea what that girl was thinking other than it wasn't what I was saying. I DID cry...
I'm going back today to try and get it fixed by someone else, wish me luck!

Oh I hope it turns out well for you. I have to wait for mine to grow out a little before I can get it fixed. uugghh.

Good for you about the van and about Seton. Sorry about yout hair. I'm in desperate need of a haircut right now and have resorted to putting it up, but I guess just like waiting to start taking Cod Liver Oil, my putting off a hair cut might be a good thing too.

I just wanted to update, that waiting 6 weeks was good it gave just enough growth to get it fixed. It is still much, much shorter than I want it but finally is a bob with a nice line and good bounce. ARGGHHHH, what a long 6 weeks that was! Good luck with yours, maybe your hair will grow out quickly!

About Me

Hi, my name is Kirsten. I am married to my best friend and we have eight awesome children. We are Catholic, loving, living, and learning about our faith every day. It is who we are. We have had some big changes for our family recently. We've moved from a small family farm in Florida to a neighborhood in Kentucky. We also homeschool some of our children. I enjoy reading, gardening, and running, and I just learned how to knit. I try to enjoy, laundry and cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. But what I really love is to be home, with my husband and children, living this life. This blog is where I write about the good stuff (mostly). Thanks for stopping by.

Prayer to St. Joseph

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH THE WORKMAN Composed by Pope St. Pius X O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

A Considered Childhood by Elizabeth Foss

As much as I am able, every day, I will ensure that my child will: * Live the Liturgy * Experience loveliness * Breathe deeply: Fresh air and exercise * Serve others * Listen to, contemplate, and exchange ideas. * Develop expressive skills. * Practice logical reasoning. Math. * Receive focused attention and affection
