My journey to stay at home motherhood & lessons in humility: Living this quote to “do small things with great love,” has a special place in my heart. Raised as a cradle Catholic as the oldest of eight children in a high-achieving family, doing “small” things was never something I aspired to. My prayer was …
Happy Wednesday! Today got off to a rocky start for me- I slept in…on a preschool day. Oops. Preschool days are supposed to be early days! I need to get Gabriel up and dressed by 6:30, followed by the girls, so they can eat breakfast and we can get out the door by 7:30, giving …
Chores This morning the first thing I did when I got the kids up was give them a much needed bath. I feel like most parents have one or two parts of parenthood that just seem daunting. My task is giving baths. (Also trimming nails, but that doesn’t tie in to this story 🤣) Of course …
Happy Palm Sunday! I can’t believe that Holy Week is already here. I feel unprepared and there is so much I want to do this week. I wanted to write this post today to give everyone an update on my journey. If you have been following along, then you know I’ve had some struggles during …

My daughter, Michelle, asked me to write something for her blog post regarding the quote by Mother Teresa, “Do small things with great love”. To me, this is all about our everyday life. It’s doing the mundane chores each day without complaining. When the piles of laundry seem endless and you vow not to let …
Happy Monday! It’s been a little bit since I have written a blog post. I feel like last week flew by. We had family in town the past two weekends and have been enjoying time with them. This week is Spring break for Gabriel, so today we have been relaxing at home which has been …
Happy Monday! And happy International Women’s Day! I actually did not realize that it was today until I saw some other posts on Instagram. But I think it is fitting that I chose to do “a day in the life” on my stories today. I didn’t plan to do it today, I just happened to …
