Mormon Blogs

The blogs that I check out everyday and which are linked in my favorite blogs are mostly Mormon, with a few Catholic ones sprinkled in here and there.  The Etsy shops I buy from are run by LDS women.  There is much to admire in the LDS community, and while I disagree with the theology, I highly admire their love of faith and family and their spirit of evangelism.  It is refreshing and something to be desired.  Reading NieNie and CJane everyday makes me want to go to Provo, UT and meet them and their beautiful families in person. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Since we were young, St. Patrick's Day has been a big celebration in my family. We'd wear green, make Irish food, play Irish music and sometimes we'd go hear Irish music and see Irish dancing. It was fun trying to dance the "Seige of Ennis" at the fun St. Patrick's Day events my mom would take us.


It's also on this day that I miss Gram Dolan, aka Mary Genevieve Maher Dolan. She and Grampa loved this day and encouraged our excitement and love of it and Ireland in us.

The doggies got in on the fun as well today, or were forced into the fun as you can see in the photos below.


We're having corned beef and cabbage tonight and Irish Soda Bread. In our family we have two St. Paddy's Day birthdays--Sayeda Mahler and Miriam Campbell. Happy birthday, Lassies!
