It has been awhile since I have posted. I just couldn’t really think of anything to write about. As this quarantine keeps getting extended, I’ve found myself slowly losing motivation and hope, and last week it just kind of hit me. We had several things not work out in our favor, minor plumbing …
Having Joy in finding Jesus in our Lives
I began my morning the way I begin most of my mornings now, praying the Rosary. Today is Monday, which means we pray my favorite mysteries today-The Joyful Mysteries. Mondays are usually a rough day mentally because it means that a new work week has begun; my husband works with a small group of people …
How are you handling the effects of the Coronavirus?
Theresa’s facial expression here captures my feelings towards the future because of the Coronavirus! I am sure that many of you like me are looking at all the articles and latest information on the Coronavirus and following the actions that the government or your particular state or country are enacting in order to slow down …
Everyone has bad days.
Sometimes things with kids don’t go as we planned. That’s the type of morning I had. Everyone just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, myself included, and it just turned into a morning full of tantrums, anger, and tears from everyone. I thought that it would be fun to make a …

“What did you learn today?” is a common question most parents ask their kids when they get home from school. As a mom, I want my kids to learn as much as they can so they can grow and thrive. Kids go to school every day so that they can keep up with their curriculum, …
Am I meant for more?
What is my purpose in life? Is it to be a stay at home mom, who makes sure the kids are taken care of every day? Is that my only identity? Why do I feel like I am destined for more than that? Why do I feel like being a mom just isn’t enough some …
Ode to Snowy
This picture was taken shortly after we got Snowy. We got Snowy at the end of August the year we were married. We knew that we wanted to get a dog, but weren’t planning on getting one so soon. My husband saw an email that someone from his work sent out saying that her son …
Are you ready?
Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! On this day before Lent, many of us find ourselves looking at the journey ahead. Do you know what you are going to do for Lent this year? I am actually prepared for once. I have a devotional from Blessed Is She, called Here, Too that I plan on completing. I …
