: About Me

I am a wife and a mother of 6 awesome kids. Their ages are 22, 18, 14, 14, 12 and 9. I have a degree in business accounting. But I have chosen to stay home with my kids. I home-school the ones who are still living at home. It pays too. My 18 year old son had 37 college credits before he finished high school...at the age of 17. All of my home-schooled kids score way above the national average on standardized testing.
My family may be expanding soon. My husband and I have an approved home-study for the domestic adoption of an infant. Our hearts are open for whoever God places in our family. We hope we can make a difference for a birth-mother who chose life for her baby.
I am also a Catholic catechist. I have taught religious education at every level from grade school to adults. Right now, I teach 4th grade R.E. and I love it.

Yet they are drawn in. They are drawn to a place where they must gaze upon the suffering of Jesus and not look away. On this day, everything in the church focuses on the Pasch (passage) of the Crucifixion. Even for those who don't know why, there is something clearly different about this day. There is no music, no Altar cloth, no candle burning near the Tabernacle, and no Mass. Catholics have been adoring the Cr...
