Happy Saturday! There have been so many changes happening all at once over here- and to be honest it’s all a little overwhelming. From Elijah’s birth, Theresa’s surgery, Gabriel starting KINDERGARTEN (this one has been a big change for me this week) and Rebecca 4 year old preschool, to a seasonal change to Fall, I …
I stared at the empty space on our wall where his picture would be, wondering what he would look like, yet also in disbelief that soon we would have another newborn. Those that have been following along with me here know that I suffered a miscarriage right before getting pregnant with Elijah. And while I …
I don’t always get to hear/pay attention to the gospel reading- comes with the territory of being a mom of 5 kids ages 5 and under. But if it’s a very popular reading, even if I’m not able to listen to all of it, I know the story already. This past weekend is one of …

My sister-in-law graduated college and will be getting married next week. My older sister graduated with a counseling degree that she’s been working on for years while raising her kids. …
It has been awhile since I have written anything. Spring is always busy for us because we have 3 birthdays, doctor check-ups, Easter, and this year we had family visiting for Easter. All of these events are not the only reason I have been absent on here though. I have felt like I have not …
“Do small things with great love?“ I try to demonstrate by using nature and saint quotes that love is found everywhere. I know social media can be good but it can also be very damaging. We must remember that we only get a glimpse of life. Before opening my shop I had to take frequent …
The importance of silence The other day I found my copy of Thirsting for God- daily meditations by Mother Teresa edited by Angelo D. Scolozzi and decided to look at the reflection of the day.
