A few months ago, as we talked about how the Daisy House would no longer be in just a short while, Ray made a grand suggestion. She said, "Hey, we should all write down some of our favorite Daisy House Moments." And I thought that, since our blog has been essentially dead for a long while, I'd revive her for just a while. So, here's my go . . . send us an email and tell us your story - we'll

My Tuesday has been dull. Boring. Lonely.I know that we have a great reason not to have Rosary on Tuesday this week but it has made my evening icky. It has still been busy; I had two meetings that both lasted longer than I thought they would. But it's just icky. I feel icky. It's icky.I miss all of my friends. I haven't seen them since Sunday and that is such a long time!!

So tonight we Daisy Ladies hosted the second annual Daisy House Thanksgiving Dinner. We put the bird in the oven right around 12:30 this afternoon... and by 6 pm we had a house full of people and so much amazing food that just thinking about it makes me full all over again.I had three stand out moments of the evening... though I imagine there are tons more but I'm trying not to think about more

I pledge to the readers of this page that I will strive to be a better updater in the next few months. Due to little time and lack of energy the wonderful blogspot of the daisy house has fallen through the cracks between my fingers.Lisa has done a fab job of keeping it up to date... but I shall come back and update as well. That is my pledge. Love you all.Daisy Hugs All Around!

I don't think that I need to preface this post by saying how amazing the last year of my life has been (but that is what I am going to do anyway:). I had no idea that being a "Daisy Girl" would impact my life in the way that it has, much less an idea of how our house would impact the community. A year ago I was just pretty excited about getting not one but two roommates. And these were the kind

And not only the Bishop, mind you, but 70 young adults along with him. Let's just say it was an amazing night.At the Midwest Catholic Family Conference this weekend, we got in touch with some people who have a

I think we all realize that our blog has been a little on the boring side as of late. In an attempt at making it a little more thrilling, I will post some random thoughts here.For one, I love being at my parent's house. It is sad that it is not "home" anymore, but it is still home in that I can wander around in my pj's at anytime of the day and just completely chill out with my parents knowing

Wow... today has been a wonderful Sunday at the Daisy House. We've gone back to our roots and held Cozy Sundays (newly renamed to the more summer-friendly Sunny Sundays). Today involved going to Mass, playing in the park, chilling in the living room, movies, computers, good conversations and LOTS of relaxing. It has been wonderful.Plus, Father Jarrod got a notion this evening to completely

Hey everyone!Yes... as the crickets so adequately indicated in the previous comment section, it has been quite a long time since this blog has been updated. I wrote a post-Luau blog but it didn't fit the bill for posting... so I deleted it.Both of my roommates are actually gone this weekend, and the Daisy House is just kinda quiet.In fact, I think I about had a mental breakdown today.

for a new post!!!I was thinking about baseball. (we got free tickets to the Wranglers game this evening). This sport is supposedly "America's pasttime." This idea is great and Lou Gerigish and all but seriously - it is rather boring to watch. Whenever I go, I always end up doing much socializing and such while missing the big plays. The question is - is our pasttime really baseball or is it

The Conclave has met, deliberated and voted. And now we have seen the white smoke, heard the bells (only figuratively for me, however, because I was at school) and seen the new pope.Congradulations to Pope Benedict XVI! We here in Wichita, KS (yes, you know our bishop!) are praying for you!! You rock!! (hello - he's the seat of PETER!!)

Hey all - I would like to invite you to join the Daisy House girls (who are separated at the moment) in a novena to the Holy Spirit for His guidence in the Cardinal Conclave to elect our new pope. We're starting the novena today so it ends on the first day of the conclave but I am sure you can start it whenever and the Holy Spirit will listen:).Just click on the link and follow the directions!

I have been Catholic all my life but it wasn't until a few years ago that I really understood what this whole "pope" thing was about. I think it really hit me when I went to World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002. Hearing the words of the pope were amazing. He talked about being a light to the world, salt to the earth. He warned us about loosing our saltiness and encouraged us to live the

So some of you already know that I have a little tiny thing for Little House on the Prairie! OK maybe it is more like an obsession but here is why I really like the show. Life back in the day was simple...You worked, you played, you prayed! Think about it. When the sun went down it was DARK outside. What else was there to do than sit in the Kitchen around the fire and read the Bible, listen to Pa

It amazes me to no end the things that God is doing in our house. He has sent us so many blessings. We as the "Daisy House Girls" - is that really me, do I really get to live in this cool house? - don't feel like we do anything at all. We call people, we email - usually I feel like a lazy bum and people hang with us anyway!I think that God is doing some awesome stuff here in Wichita and that we

Today had been a pretty normal day. Job was pretty awful. Attitude was not so great. And everything else was just mostly on an even keel. And then God gave me 14 blessings. I got home from work, and BAM they just started pouring in. It's as though everywhere I turned, there was another blessing to make me smile... another blessing to warm my heart... another blessing that showed His

I am feeling a little behind, as I am the only Daisy House girl that has yet to post my "day in the life." So, take a moment, get a cup of hot chocolate (add some schnapps if you feel like it!) and join in the day of this High School Sophomore English teacher. My day begins anywhere from 6 am to 6:45 am when I reluctantly get out of bed. I get ready for school - choosing that oh so

Right... so like a week ago I wrote some blather about how each of us daisies should post what it's like to be us--you know, "a day in the life of" sort of thing. Well I never did that. Only Kimmy did. Props to Kimmy, by the way. But I'd just like to let y'all in on just how crazy the daisy house is over the next few weeks.

Tomorrow, the roommates and I embark on a journey to our nation's capital. We are chaperoning the Catholic High School's trip to the March for Life in Washington D.C. I, for one, am a tad intimidated by the fact that I will be in charge of a bunch of holy high schoolers... but I'm counting on the Holy Spirit to get me through this one.

Tonight was the end of many happy days of planning (not that our planning is done by any means). Since we moved into our little blue house, the Daisy Girls and you, our friends, have been planning a bunch of stuff.

So... I think I may have stumbled onto something tonight while praying. I think I understand why there are SO many relativists in our society. I think it all stems from fear. More specifically... fear of the truth. Truth is scary. Truth is scary no matter how you look at it. Humans do not like thing to be absolute. For example, let's say someone's worried that they have cancer. Many times

I wanted to put a turkey in my post but I have not figured out how to do that yet. So I will just talk about turkey. Turkey is one of my favorite foods.

I don't know if that is the best title, but it plagues my thoughts. One of my passions is youth ministry. I love the idea of leading teenagers closer to God. It makes my heart happy. I have been involved with youth ministry since I graduated from high school. I got out of a youth group and started teaching CCD (PSR) to 7th graders. The next year I helped with the junior high youth rally.

During college (while driving through Lawrence **a town that is very HEAVILY populated with cute people of the opposite sex**), I noticed that at stoplights, many people look to see who's in the car next to them. Well, anyways... at one of these times I got a smile.. or a wink.. or perhaps a head-nod... and that's when it all began. Since then, carflirting has become a hobby of mine.

This post is somewhat in response to the comments of our previous post but I believe that it can stand on its own. Ever since I can remember, I have had big dreams. I remember watching "The Wizard of Oz" and fighting with one of my friends over whether Dorothy really went to Oz or whether it was really just a dream. I wanted to believe that a land where dreams come true was real. As children,

So I'm not technically speaking for the 3 of us... but I'm sure the other 2 wouldn't mind if something just happened to happen out of what I'm about to spew... so please keep your eyes peeled: WANTED: 3 specTACularly CATHOLIC boys, between the ages of 22 and 30, containing most or all of the following qualities... chivalrousness, sense of humor, beauty of the heart, innocence, charm, conviction

Oh my Goodness....Oh my Goodness. So I went to Walmart the other day on a usual shopping trip. As I was crossing the items off of my list and perusing the many isles I came across something that absolutely astounded me. I was in the Pharmacy area carefully reading the signs (First Aid, Cold/Flu, etc.) looking for my allergy medicine, when I came across the sign "Family Planning". As I took a

So. . . The question is "Why is your house "The Daisy House?" It is a good question! Why, you ask again? Because of the fact that I would like to fill you in! Here's the downlow. All three of us Catholic SINGLE girls have been reading up on a much beloved saint, St. Therese of the Little Flower. Her autobiography, "Story of a Soul" is wonderful. I used to think that it would be very hard to

Hello friends and visitors! We haven't a solidified plan for the contents of this blog. But if it reflects the lives of the three young women who live in the little blue house, then I can assure you it will be entertaining. Besides our thoughts and ramblings, you will find details (and hopefully pictures) of the many parties and gatherings we shall be having at the Daisy House. Thanks for
