Real nun blogs
Sister Julie Viera, IHM, observes life in and outside the convent on A Nun's Life. Interesting fact: Sister Julie watches "The Simpsons."

Sister Susan Rose Francois, CSJP, writes Musings of a Discerning Woman. Interesting fact: Sister Susan Rose's movie boyfriend is Ewan MacGregor, which proves she's somewhat younger than most of the Little Sisters whose favorite movie boyfriend is Colin Firth.

Sister Christer is really Sister Christine Wilcox, OP, director of a Catholic school system, which includes a Montessori school. Interesting fact: Sister Christine has a pretty loopy sense of humor and enjoys novelty toys like Nun Chuks.

Sister Steph, OSB, is a high school teacher and writes the very messy and engaging Narrow at the Outset. Interesting fact: Sister Steph feels just as crappy as a layperson when she has a cold and very sensibly goes to bed with a Harry Potter book.
