By Kim Roberts Technology can be extremely helpful in day-to-day activities. I mean, who doesn’t use at least one App at least once a day? Whether it’s to get from one location to another, to find a recipe, cruise social media or order from Amazon, we are a society that has become used to the […]
Who Am I?

By Kim Roberts My youngest child is about to leave for college. The dorm supplies have been purchased, clothes sorted and packed, paperwork filled out, schedules completed, ID and parking pass are in hand. I guess she is ready. But, as we quickly approach this milestone, I find myself asking quietly, “What am I supposed […]
Coach made an impact

By Kim Roberts The end of June marks two years since one of my very best friends passed from this world to the next. Since I now work where he used to work, I find myself thinking of him often and the legacy he left behind. He would most definitely argue with me that he […]
The Day the Earth Stood Still

By Kim Roberts There have been a few days that I can vividly remember the exact moment that I heard certain news. I can remember exactly what I was doing the day the news was unfolding on Sept. 11 when the first tower fell, when my husband told me he was being deployed to Desert […]

By Kim Roberts My youngest daughter’s second-grade teacher would talk about “Godwinks” during class. I remember wondering what that was, because I had never heard that term before. For those that are unfamiliar with Godwinks, it is an event or personal experience, often identified as a coincidence, so astonishing that it is seen as a […]

By Kim Roberts As my time immersed in Catholic school with my children draws to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the more than 20 years I have spent with them at various schools from pre-kindergarten to high school. Given that neither my husband nor I attended Catholic school, we had a learning […]

By Kim Roberts As we entered into January my youngest daughter, who is a senior, told me she was essentially finished with high school. I replied, “No, the next semester counts, too. You need to finish strong.” I know, she thought, since she had already been accepted into several colleges, she had reached the finish […]
Thoughts and Prayers

By Kim Roberts Families sat paralyzed in fear watching a regular Monday night football game, not believing what was unfolding right in front of their very eyes in real time, as a young man lay motionless on the field after a routine tackle. We saw the fear, pain and disbelief in all of the players […]
To wear or not to wear

By Kim Roberts After her Confirmation, my daughter wanted to wear her pretty new rosary around her neck when we went out to dinner. My immediate response was to tell her absolutely not. I grew up believing that it was wrong, almost sacrilegious to wear a rosary as a piece of jewelry.
Building Saints

By Kim Roberts While attending a parent club meeting recently, our guest speaker spoke about how parents are in the business of raising saints. I thought about that on the drive home and mused could she literally have meant that all of our children were going to be actual saints? Well, that couldn’t be what […]
Be careful what your kids watch

By Kim Roberts After reading a Facebook post about a new cartoon entitled “Little Demon,” which was billed as a Disney show, I decided I needed to see what all the outrage was about. While this is not actually a “Disney” show, per se, it falls under the umbrella of companies they own. It is […]
