Theme Thursday: Mom

Guest Post: Catherine Sophia Nolan

Joining Cari for this week's Theme Thursday: Mom, which I thought would be the greatest opportunity for a first here on the weblog since my own beautiful mother is a thousand miles away: a guest post! The middle sister of the girl band Felicita, featured here on the weblog a couple days ago, is my charming and talented niece Catey, who celebrated her 11th birthday just over a week ago.

Without further ado, here are Catey's pictures of her mother, my little sister Anne.




"Nothing compares to a mom, with their warm and soothing smile, and their finger that points you to the right direction, with help from God. Everyone needs a mom." 

-Catherine Sophia Nolan



 Trying to suppress my urge to add my own one hundred and two cents,because these pictures and caption make me want to cry, but I think they speak for themselves. But I must say Catey absolutely knows what she is talking about in the above quote. Her mother is the one and only teacher Catey has ever had. Go homeschool!

  4. Beautiful! I love her post! And I am super jealous of the dual ovens. What skill and grace she shows in the pictures as well. What an awesome 11 year old.

  5. Oh, well if you only *wanted* to cry then you did better than me. I AM crying. Your sister is as beautiful as you are and her daughter's words are exactly what a mother wants to hear.

    Love, love, love! Thanks for the guest post, Catey! (Oh, and now I remember that I have to go back and watch that video I couldn't see the first time on my iPad.)

    1. Regina, the potatoes were out on the counter by coincidence. I had to empty them out and wash them individually, because -thank you Aldi - there was a rotten potato causing my pantry to smell of dead fish. Disgusting. So,, they were all on the counter drying when Catey took the pics. I thought they looked cool, too.

    2. Oh, dear Aldi how I miss you! I'd even take a rotten potato every once in awhile to be with you again. Anyway that's so funny that it was a coincidence. And nothing grosser smelling than a rotten potato. Really, nothing.

  7. I love your take on things. This was so beautiful, and I love that you focused on your little sister as a mom. I want to go live in her house after her daughter's description of her.
