Looking back: 2010
Posted by: rachelclapointe on: December 29, 2010
It’s that time of year again, when we all try to remember what we resolved to do this year and when we feel really guilty about how we “failed”. You know, the “New Year’s Resolution” guilt is a bunch of goofiness, in my opinion. Resolutions or goals aren’t static, they are meant to change with [...]

Every week moms join together to celebrate their small successes of the week. Join us at Faith and Family Live! 1. I bought some clothes for myself that actually fit and look nice. Hooray! 2. Chris and I are going to be taking on a side job for one of the vicariates. It’s got a [...]

See that little girl up there in Jesus’ arms? That’s my baby sister, Celeste. We’re coming up on her 5th birthday, March 14th. It’s been 5 years, 5 long years. Today I did something brave. At first, I didn’t think much of it. And then I realized it was pretty significant. I drove [...]

Posted by: rachelclapointe on: February 4, 2010
Each week Faith and Family Live hosts “Small Successes”. It’s a chance for moms to get together and share three small things that got done in the past week! 1. I managed to make it through one of the first tough weeks with Grace. I’m still not sure what was up with her, but she [...]
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.

In my opinion, I have much more than “small” cheer and I have plenty of welcome for you here: at my new blog home! I hope you will join me in this “feasting” today and in the coming days, weeks, months, and hopefully years! The above quote is Shakespeare from The Comedy of Errors. Anyone [...]

1. Yesterday I finally got around to making a fake Applebee’s chicken fajita roll up. It was tasty. Different than the real deal, but still very very very good. Of course, it took about 3 hours, including Chris going out to pick up some french fries and tortillas, but we still ate! 2. I managed [...]

1. I have managed to stay relatively calm through a variety of VERY stressful situations this past week. Both of our debit cards were “compromised” somewhere so we’re currently debit-card-less for 7-10 days. Totally stressful (especially when you need gas!) but since I’m trying to be positive I guess I can just figure that this helps me [...]
Finis!

I finally finished my room! All my clothes have been gone through (five bags of clothes, shoes, handbags and brand new unwanted panties) and hung up, folded and put away! Chris even kindly gave up one of his drawers so that I can have enough room (he got rid of a bag of too-small clothes [...]
Successes- 8/5/09
Posted by: rachelclapointe on: August 5, 2009
Didn’t you see the pictures of those wonderful cupcakes? That’s about all for today cause my back is starting to hurt rather badly. However, that’s fine cause I also washed all the dishes (hence the back pain). Have a good night!
