Welcome to Lisa Sweet's blog

I am living the "Sweet" life in rural New Hampshire with my husband of 27 years and those of our 5 children who are still living at home (4 at last count).

We are loving God, our Catholic faith, homeschooling, soccer, drama, country living, homemade beer, chocolate, and each other. (Not necessarily in that order.)

This blog is a collection of my thoughts, a record of swiftly passing days with my children, with perhaps an opinion or two sprinkled in....

Great Quotes

* Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the freedom to do what we ought. -- John Paul II

*Even suffering is part of the truth of our life. Thus, trying to shield the youngest from every difficulty and experience of suffering, we risk creating, despite our good intentions, fragile persons of little generosity: The capacity to love, in fact, corresponds to the capacity to suffer, and to suffer together. -- Benedict XVI

* God has created a world big enough for all the lives He wishes to be born. It is only our hearts that are not big enough to want them and accept them. If all the money that is being spent on finding ways to kill people was used instead to feed them and house them and educate them - how beautiful that would be. We are too often afraid of the sacrifices we might have to make. But where there is love, there is always sacrifice. And whn we love until it hurts, there is joy and peace. --Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

*...each of us is willed, each of us is loved, and each of us is necessary. -- Benedict XVI

*How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers. -- Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

*Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. -- Unknown

*Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary. -- St. Francis of Assisi

*(Speaking of domesticity/motherhood): I can understand how this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell another people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her talk; I will never pity her for its smallness.--G.K. Chesterton

*If we continually try to force a child to do what he is afraid to do, he will become more timid, and will use his brains and energy, not to explore the unknown, but to find ways to avoid the pressure we put on him. -- John Holt
