ECQ Reflections: Count Your Blessings

Happy Easter, everyone! 🙂 (I say "everyone" but I am not even sure if people actually read this blog anymore! Haha!) Anyway... I can't believe it's already Easter—and it's already April! Way back in January, I had made a "promise" of sorts to blog more often here but, well, it seems that promise has already … Continue reading ECQ Reflections: Count Your Blessings

On Family Visioning, “JMJ”, and The Holy Family Prayer

Every year since 2017, our family has been doing a family visioning and planning session, usually at the start of each new year. When the kids were younger (and fewer in number 😉 ), we started simply, focusing on giving thanks for the blessings of the previous year, and setting goals for the year ahead. … Continue reading On Family Visioning, “JMJ”, and The Holy Family Prayer

Well, well, well... Can you believe it? 2021 is here! And the last time I wrote a blog post, COVID-19 had just started to wreak havoc in the world.

Advent Hopes and Traditions

And just like that, the Advent season will be starting in a few days! I can't believe how quickly time flies, especially when we enter the "-ber" months! Still so much to do, so little time. *sighs* Part of me actually dreads the coming of Advent because it means that Christmas is just around the … Continue reading Advent Hopes and Traditions

Come Join Us at the CALLED Catholic Homeschoolers Summit!

I haven't been blogging for quite some time now, and it's mostly because of life, and the fact that my "real" blog has been down for MONTHS! To make a long story short, the person who handles my website hosting is currently MIA of sorts, and I haven't been able to get in touch with … Continue reading Come Join Us at the CALLED Catholic Homeschoolers Summit!

Woman, You Are Meant to Shine! (An Invitation)

One of the things that I had been praying for during my bedrest period was that I would be well enough to attend this year's Jewels Conference. I went to the first conference, and had been waiting for the next one... which will be happening soon—on June 2, to be exact! So I am very grateful to … Continue reading Woman, You Are Meant to Shine! (An Invitation)

This is especially for my fellow moms who may be having doubts or fears about their current pregnancies, or are even afraid of getting pregnant again.
