Oh my gosh, do I ever know where you're coming from! Our 3rd child (of 4) left for college just a few weeks ago. I can't believe that he drove me so nuts last school year and that I now miss him so bad!! Fortunately he lives close and can…

almost empty nester

My beautiful baby girl moved out of our house yesterday. She is 19 now and went to a community college last year so she was still home.

Hi Jamie. I was just in Cape May last October when my son graduated from Coast Guard boot camp. What a beautiful place. Since then he has been stationed in Virginia but has been to Haiti to help with the hurricane relief and is now at sea up near…

Kara McLaren replied to Jessica Ianiro's discussion 'Daily Rosary with Little Children'
It seems as if they are not really getting anything out of it then it may be that they are to young. Maybe you could bring prayer down to their level. You don't want them to dislike prayer time or to think of it as a chore. Maybe you could cut…

Kara McLaren commented on G Bradshaw's group 'Growing in Grace'
I think that is a difficulty that many of us face. I have gotten beyond the days when my children were little but I still struggle with finding daily time for prayer. the best answer I have found is that I simply have to make it a priority. For me…

Kara McLaren replied to Heidi's discussion 'Healthy, easy snacks for kids' in the group Healthy Moms
Fruit is great. It's easy to eat and it tastes good also. It may take a little while for them to get used to eating an apple or a banana instead of a twinkie or an oreo but once they do they will have acquired a lifetime healthy habit.
