“There is hope for each… Every man is made in the image and likeness of God.” -Ven. Fulton Sheen When I came across these words yesterday, they reminded me of a community I have written about here a number of times that helps people, mostly drug addicts, get their lives back on track. The Cenacolo website offers a lot of … Read More
TOB Tuesday: Revisiting the Great Bikini Debate
I’ve talked about this here a little bit before, but most of the debate is over at Elizabeth Hillgrove’s blog where she has a whole category for all things bikini related. Click here and scroll down for her thoughts (about both female and male modesty in swimwear), lots of combox discussion and some links to others defending the bikini. Given … Read More
Marriage Laws: It’s Not About Regulating Love
What is marriage? This short and to-the-point video is for Australia, but it perfectly explains why the government has an interest in regulating marriage in any country, including the US. Whenever a marriage amendment passes in one state or another, I can’t tell you how many times I hear someone lament, “why would anyone deny two people the right to … Read More
Friday Funny: The Fall of Pinterest
This is hilarious! The women of Pinterest try to defend it from the male invasion. P.S. you can follow me on Pinterest!
Careers vs. Baby-Making
MJ makes some great points here (h/t Julie): “If you’re not a bulldog about your career and that’s not your thing, it’s almost like you’re marginalized.” I hear that. Reminds me of this old post from Jenny Uebbing recounting a conversation she had with a friend of hers on why she, a smart, well educated young woman, could possibly want … Read More

Music for Your Monday: Beatles Epicosity
Oh, internet, you’re such a wonderful thing sometimes. This mashup/medley makes my Beatles loving heart do a hap-hap-happy dance (watch the annotations to see which parts of each song are playing at the same time): Also love this. I never thought that my favorite song of all time could be improved on, but in this video, George Martin and Dahni … Read More
Music for Your Monday: Pregnant and I Know It
Oh, my heavens! I can’t think of a more delightful note to start the work-week off with than this hilarious spoof. Some of you may have seen this already. It went viral about a month ago, but I only just discovered it this weekend. “Waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, yeah!” Haha! How cute is she? Happy Monday, everyone. 🙂 The … Read More
The Best and Hardest Job(s) in the World
I saw this on TV the other day. It’s a commercial from Procter and Gamble honoring Olympic mothers, but I thought it was particularly apropos considering the recent Hilary Rosen vs. Ann Romney “mommy wars”. That and, well, mothers can never really be thanked enough: Honestly, though, as much as stay at home mothers have been dumped on lately, I … Read More
Every Child Deserves a Chance
The father of a child with Down syndrome made this video after learning the heartbreaking truth about the fate of most children with his condition: All abortion is equally abhorrent and offensive to humanity. It targets one segment of society, the unborn, and deems it worthy of life only at the behest of another segment. Eugenic abortion, however, goes one … Read More
