Humble Handmaid

2010 17 May

ALL the Franco ladies :) We're quite a crew!!! Gabriel and his second cousin, the lovely Miss Brittani Schneider Michael and me with my new dark 'do :) I don't know if you realize that the lei I'm wearing is sort of strategically twisted and placed. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm ... Read More about Luaus, cleavage problems, brown hair and ALL the Franco Ladies

“Does this hat make me look like a girl?”

Humble Handmaid

2010 12 May

This is one of the little hats I bought Gabriel a couple of weeks ago. I think he looks completely adorable in it, but [stream-of-consciousness warning] I am also starting to think that this hat is technically a little "girl" hat that I willed to be a little boy hat because I wanted to buy him one ...

House happiness

Humble Handmaid

2010 9 May

I know it's been a while since my last post, but I have really good excuses! 1. We bought a house on Friday.  2. I've been sick with a particularly evil and persistent nightmare of a cold for the last week.  I promise to post pictures of the new house and first-time-homeowners ...

Mommies don’t get sick days

Humble Handmaid

2010 4 May

I haven't had a lesson in being a Big Girl in a while. I came down with a pesky sore throat and runny nose on Sunday night, but by Monday afternoon, my little cold took a turn for the worse. I had a raging fever, all-over body ache, chills, a very sore throat and a strong desire to either curl up ... Read More about Mommies don’t get sick days

Earthquakes caused by too much cleavage?!

Humble Handmaid

2010 27 Apr

This article inspired me to write this little post today. An American college student called for women to dress as immodestly as possible for the day (last Monday) in a massive "science experiment" that will disprove the ridiculous remarks made by an Iranian cleric that, “Many women who do ...

“And the little one said, ‘Roll over! Roll over!'” (PLUS a video of Gabriel laughing!!!)

Humble Handmaid

2010 27 Apr

Michael absolutely detests when I sing this song. He says it gives him a headache. What he doesn't realize is that singing this song has helped Gabriel learn how to roll over from back to front! Wow--yay for baby steps (and rolls)! Check out these adorable two videos of Gabriel, taken on Michael's ... Read More about “And the little one said, ‘Roll over!

Hi there!

I'm a south Louisiana girl, Catholic wife, writer, speaker, and mother of six. Since I started my blog way back in 2009, life has been a roller coaster of babies, plot twists and a plane crash or two. I've been chronicling things here as I've been learning to love and suffer and laugh and trust in the goodness of God in the ordinary and the extraordinary--with a little espresso and a lot of Divine Mercy.
