The month of November always seems to go by so quickly. It seems like it was just Halloween! Now we have snow on the ground here, holiday drinks are out at the stores and social media is covered in ideas for gifts you can give for Christmas. (I will also be sharing some ideas on …
Friendships with the saints are so important to establish! Just ask Patrick Pulis, founder of Saint of the Month, a Catholic box subscription company. He shared 3 stories with me of how 3 different saints helped him with finding his wife, in time of need, and with growing in his faith! It was wonderful talking …
I have a sister that is a canonized saint. I know it is hard to believe, but let me explain. Sistersand brothers are from the same “blood”. As Catholics, we receive the same Body, Blood, Soul andDivinity of Jesus in the Eucharist. This is why we call the saints, brothers and sisters in Christ. My …

It’s been a year since I found I was most likely miscarrying Jesse. September 13, 2021 I went into my doctor’s appointment and heard the words that no parent wants to hear. Baby was measuring small, and there was no detectable heartbeat. I had to wait another week to see if there was any change, …
If we have no peace it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Mother Teresa I was out for my run earlier and reached a point in my route where I needed to cross the street and turn around. I noticed there was a woman walking on that side, so to …
Last week was a week over here! It started out with the Monday-est of Mondays. Everyone woke up cranky and tired, our AC stopped working, we discovered some weird electrical problem in the basement, and I don’t even remember what else. It was just a bad day.
