still here

 I am still here. Life has just been super busy. I have Easter pictures to post and time is just not allowing it. And truth be told I am really not wanting to be in front of this screen. I am trying to figure out where this blog fits into my life. All blogs for that matter. Anyway, for now life calls and I have to run. Have a glorious weekend!! I am going to leave you with a tornado destructo Amelia picture. If you looked up terrible two in the dictionary you would find her picture. She isn't terrible really just very curious which can lead to some very messy situations.

Blogkeeping

I am doing a little housekeeping here at Sonlight Garden. I need to revise my book lists and add book lists. Well actually I don't need to, I want to :0). I also took the advice of Jennifer and changed the banner of my blog also. I love the new picture of Catherine's little three year old hand holding the acorn.  I love the picture of Patrick also, I am just changing things up a little bit. Oh decisions, decisions.

It is funny that I am doing all of this because I have been thinking about closing this blog altogether. Not that I really spend a whole lot of time here, but it is one more thing that takes my attention. However, soon this blog is going to become a way for our family to stay connected. So it is worth it and I will still do the whole "blogging" thing.

I am also working on my 100 things post. It will probably end up being post #106 by the time I am done. It is much more challenging than you would think.

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
