Overheard:
Caroline: "Cecilia, you weren't even born when Mommy was a kid... God was still making you. He was still putting on your feet and toes. And He was filling Mommy's tummy with water."
Cecilia: "Put holy water in Mommy tum-tum!"

Cecilia the Engineer:
Caroline: "Mommy, what's this?" (pointing to the post at the center of the food processor after both the girls had helped me use it to shred a big block of cheese)
Cecilia: (before I had a chance to answer) "The spinner."
Observant child, that one. You can't even see it spinning when the bowl part is attached... but logically and mechanically, it must.

About Me
- Erin
- I spend my days as a 35 year old Catholic wife and mother changing diapers, nursing babies, teaching my children at home, making yogurt, picking figs, and fighting city hall for the rights of families to care for themselves in healthy and self-sufficient ways. I love my husband, chocolate, the Pope(s), Earl Greyer and Irish Breakfast teas, cooking, and the beauty and truth of my faith's teachings on family, sexuality, and love. My mottos are "Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life," "Ora et Labora," and "Offer it up." If you dropped by, you'd likely find me in my kitchen barefoot with a baby on my hip making dinner while rocking out to some Tonic or Emerson Hart.
Just say NO to Nestle!

Observant child?? BRILLIANT child!!! Must be that great teacher she has....... :)
Well, it sure wasn't me who taught her that, ha ha... must be the technical genes from my husband, as well as the genes on my side of the family that my dad and brothers have but I missed out on!
A couple of my boys inherited the math and spacial relations "gene" from my husband...!
