READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Embrace the Craziness of Life

There Are No Perfect Mothers

I lie in bed sandwiched between my children, quietly shedding tears. I recall the events of the day (week!) that has passed.

READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Embracing Our Identity in Christ

Many people who look at me and my life now may think, "Wow, she has it all together!" or "Gosh, how confident she is!" or other similar thoughts. The truth is, though, that I don't always "have it all together," and I'm not 100% "confident" all the time.

3 Lessons on Love from the “Forevermore” Teleserye

I must admit — I'm not a huge fan of teleseryes. Actually, I'm not a fan of TV in general (though I must admit it has its uses!). We try to limit TV/screen time at home as much as possible.

3 Important Life Lessons from the Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight

Earlier this week, I made a confession over at CatholicMom.com — about how I had never heard of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla before I became a homeschooling mom. Today, I'm going to make another confession — I am not a boxing fan, and don't think much of the sport. However, just like thousands (maybe even millions?) … Continue reading 3 Important Life Lessons from the Pacquiao-Mayweather Fight
