Lately it seems like the term “self-care” has been coming up everywhere. I’m not going to lie, I always kind of thought it was a fancy term for wanting to be lazy or maybe just being unmotivated, but God has been teaching me so much about this lately! Honestly, the last year of my life […]

As I write this blog post, I am days away from turning the big 3-0. How did this happen!??! It is definitely with mixed emotions, and newly-found aches and pains, that I enter a new decade. I must admit I am a little sad; however, I am even more excited at the prospect that my 30s might be even half as great as […]

Scrolling through Facebook, you never know what you will find. Every so often, though, you come across a post that really resonates with you, and this particular post really struck me: “2020 is not the year to get everything you want.

“For people of faith there are no coincidences, only aspects of God’s providence that we have not yet fully understood.” –St. John Paul II None of us could have expected how our lives would be radically changed, turned upside down, so quickly and so decisively as in these past weeks. Schools and restaurants closed, businesses […]

14 hours. That is what stands between now and picking up my daughter, becoming a mom for good. I can’t tell you all the emotions that I am feeling at this moment. I am so beyond excited and feeling incredibly blessed, but obviously fear of the unknown and nerves are creeping in as the clock […]

As I reflect on 2019, I realize just how blessed of a year it was. It has been a family tradition to write down all the things that happened the previous year and on New Year’s we reminisce on all the amazing memories that were created. So that is what I have done!   I […]

We waited for hours from the very first glimpses of sunlight, exhausted but wide-awake with anticipation, with me dressed in my wedding gown and him in his suit, waiting, hoping, and imagining the moment that we would be able to personally meet the Holy Father. My husband and I had been surprised with a trip […]
