Tina’s homeschool day in the life (with a 9-month-old and 4- and 7-year-olds)
Happy Valentine's Day! 🙂 I know I usually post about free resources on Fridays but I wasn't able to write this earlier so I'm doing it now because I want to link up to Simple Homeschool, one of my favorite homeschool sites. Every year, Jamie and her team write about a day in their homeschool for … Continue reading Tina’s homeschool day in the life (with a 9-month-old and 4- and 7-year-olds)
Word-Filled Wednesdays: Here’s to Love… and Health!
It's Valentine's Day in a few days so I wanted to write a quick post for you all in honor of, what else, love! 🙂 But more than love, I want to remind you (and myself) that we can't love to the fullest if we're not healthy. I realized this last year, when my husband and I … Continue reading Word-Filled Wednesdays: Here’s to Love… and Health!
Word-Filled Wednesdays: Hear the Word, Accept It, Bear Fruit
People who read my blog and my other writing elsewhere may think that I am a faithful Catholic and that living out my faith is easy for me. Well, a lot of times, I'm not and it's not. There are many, many, MANY days when I fail my God, my family and myself. I struggle every … Continue reading Word-Filled Wednesdays: Hear the Word, Accept It, Bear Fruit

God Has a Purpose for Our Storms
I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise — I received an email from my editor at CatholicMom.com, who said that my latest post, "A Stressed Out Parent's Prayer," was mentioned on the National Catholic Register, a U.S. based website that is "America's most complete Catholic news source, a service of EWTN." I was … Continue reading God Has a Purpose for Our Storms

Just Sharing: A Prayer for Stressed-Out Parents and An Awesome Catholic Giveaway!
It's been a very full month so far but I am trying so very hard to not complaining. I am blessed to be able to what I do and even if sometimes I stress myself out over the number of items left to check off my to-do list, I really am humbled and honored that God can … Continue reading Just Sharing: A Prayer for Stressed-Out Parents and An Awesome Catholic Giveaway!
Word-Filled Wednesdays: In Christ Alone
It's been a relatively rough week in terms of my Orange Rhino challenge. I have been "reverting" to Day 1 almost every day. There are a lot of things going on but I continue to place my trust in Him, in Christ alone. Every day is a new opportunity to start again, and I'm claiming … Continue reading Word-Filled Wednesdays: In Christ Alone
Word-filled Wednesdays: Strive for Perfect Love
My husband and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary yesterday. We had no grand plans but did want to celebrate by going to Mass as a family, something we strive to do whenever special occasions arise. However, the day found us praying for and claiming healing for our four-year-old, who vomited and had diarrhea in … Continue reading Word-filled Wednesdays: Strive for Perfect Love
