Oh friends, The trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been released. Part one comes out in November ( 4 months!) and Part two in July of 2011.

Why the Saints?
Just to be clear right away, if you’re looking for a post on football, this isn’t it. I’m not talking about why you should be a fan of a certain football team that is known as “the Saints”. Obviously if I was going to write a post about why you should support a football team, … Continue reading »
5 Minute Summer Face!
I don’t write about makeup much on here, but really, I love it. When I was in high school I told my grandparents I wanted to become a makeup artist. To which they replied, “Over our dead bodies. You’re going to college. If you want to become a makeup artist, you can do that after … Continue reading »
Any Good Reads?
Friends, I’m looking for a good read. Now, I know what you must be saying, “You work at the library? Aren’t there good reads there?” I work at a branch library, which is great. But what I mean by “good read” is that I’m looking for a good, non-theology-textbook-type book on spiritual growth. Spiritual growth … Continue reading »

That sweet little baby, full of joy and always loving to be near people, has grown up to become … Continue reading »
More Freedom! Less Information!
That’s the mantra of every effective and productive movement in human history, right? Seems like Danielle Bean is on to something over at National Catholic Register regarding the recently vetoed Florida law that would require any pregnant woman to have an ultrasound before deciding to have an abortion. It seems many pro-choice people are nervous … Continue reading »
This is my body…
This post is a little late in coming. I originally heard this anecdote during the homily on Corpus Christi Sunday a few weeks ago. I had some thoughts about it then, but I got distracted (otherwise known as so tired I can’t seem to stay awake long enough to write a blog post), and it … Continue reading »
My Kind of Town
Chicago that is! No quick-takes today ladies! This weekend Atticus and I are headed up to Chicago to celebrate his birthday (a few days early!) and see some friends in the city. I have to say, if you’ve never used hotwire.com to book a hotel, you just have to give it a try! We are … Continue reading »
