Defining Moments
Each one of these moments has changed my life. They have defined who I am in ways that even before I started writing this I didn’t realize.
The Sinner’s Guide To Natural Family Planning by Simcha Fisher – A Review
If you are struggling with NFP and feel like you are all alone out there, this is likely a great book for you. If you have been using NFP for long enough that you know that it is a struggle and that there are other people out there like you, this book might be just more of what you already know.

To kick of the new year I completed a project that I had been meaning to do all last year. Technically I did get it done last year (well except that I still need to paint the thing) but I am pretty proud of. The room is newly painted and the new beds are in. As you can see the kids helped a lot.
