mothering style

Your type is: istj —The “Responsibility” Mother

“I have a serious love affair with to-do lists. I could sit for hours reading, organizing, and rearranging my weekly calendar.”

The ISTJ mother has a highly developed sense of responsibility: for work, home, family ... particularly her children. Whether she’s overseeing daily baths or insisting on a 10 p.m. curfew, her efforts are largely focused on providing her children with order and routine. She wants them, regardless of age, to be able to count on her and the structure she provides.

In carrying out her commitment to her responsibilities, the ISTJ mother is organized, industrious, and detail-oriented. Because her focus is the day-to-day realities of life, her children are likely to feel secure and well provided for.

The ISTJ mother also sets a good example and provides her children with practical guidance on being a productive, responsible individual. Still, with all her seriousness, she may delight family members with her quick wit and observations about the details of life.

This mothering style quiz was found courtesy of Jeanne at Books and Brownies, a fellow North Carolina homeschooling mom of soon-to-be 7.

So what is super-organized mom doing today? Picking up sippy cups and juice for the trip to DC on Monday and making a packing list. Don't want to forget anything!

blog quiz

Here's a quiz especially for Catholic bloggers.

1. Do you attend the Traditional Latin Mass or the Novus Ordo?
Tim and I converted to the Catholic Church in 1999. By 2002 we were frustrated and disgusted by the liturgical abuses and priests who's homilies did not align with the Magisterium. We started attending St. Benedict's Chapel in Virginia and could not be more pleased with both the majesty and sound Catholic teaching at Mass. The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) ordains wonderful priests, we are blessed to have gotten to meet so many of them.

2. If you attend the TLM, how far do you drive to get there?
Currently it takes us a little over an hour to drive to Mass.

3. If you had to apply a Catholic label to yourself, what would it be?
Grateful convert

4. Are you a comment junkie?
Not really, but I do like getting other people's input.

5. Do you go back to read the comments on the blogs you’ve commented on?
Usually, though I do remember once on Open Book writing a response to what seemed like a crazy person going off on the TLM. I went back to find that he had been doing a sarcastic bit that I took seriously. The next few posters laughed at my naivete. I never commented on that blog again and still cringe at the memory.

6. Have you ever left an anonymous comment on another blog?
No.

7. Which blogroll would you most like to be on?
Curt Jester and Danielle Bean

8. Which blog is the first one you check?
Danielle Bean , Rosetta Stone, or Mama Says.

9. Have you met any other bloggers in person?
My husband Tim of course, and Tracy who has since stopped blogging.

10. What are you reading?
I just finished The Dallas Women's Guide To Gold-Digging With Pride. It was certainly not the most erudite tome, but hysterically funny.

Bonus Question! Has your site been banned by Spirit of Vatican II?
No.

I pass this quiz on to: Mama Says... and Slightly Crunchy Catholic, as well as anyone else who wants to partake.

Do You Know Your Baltimore Catechism?
Make Your Own Quiz

After 3 1/2 years of teaching religion using Seton's books this quiz was embarrassingly easy.

I had a dream the other night that we were at an interview for a local Catholic school. After looking around, I asked a bunch of questions, including, "Do you incorporate Catholic teaching in every subject?" Of course the answer was, "No."

I am so glad that my children (and I) are learning about the Catholic faith and history in English and Spelling, Science and Reading, as well as their Religion and History texts.

This too was very easy. We read a story aloud from the Picture Bible every evening. I didn't even have to guess about Ruth, we reviewed that book in the Bible last week in Little Flowers. (So much for Catholics not knowing their Bible)
