Happy Wednesday! It actually got chilly here in FL which my husband is very excited about. I’m not as much of a fan but at least I finally got to pull out some of my sweaters ;). We had a busy weekend with a couple of social gatherings + Stephen went into work Saturday. I’m…

Something impressed upon me early on about my husband was his passion for asceticism. He spoke about saints who wore hair shirts or walked around barefoot or put ashes in their food or slept on a bed of nails with an excitement that perplexed me. I can see how you would admire these people who…

Happy Wednesday 🙂 This weekend we had our all saint’s day party! Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures but it was certainly a fun afternoon. We didn’t go too big this year, but it was more than last year! We had a couple of families and friends over which was plenty for our little house.…

From 2015 to 2020 I spent 90% of my time away from home. Obviously a big part of this was due to the fact that I had an office job during those years. But aside from that, my social life was the most active it has ever been. Once I graduated from college and joined…

Hello and happy Wednesday! We had a nice quiet weekend at home. For the past few weeks we’ve been doing a lot of traveling/having family visit so it was nice to have a couple days at home just the three of us. I hope your weekend was a good one and that your week is…

Nevertheless, in honor of Monica’s first birthday (!!!), I…

This past week Monica has been sick, which has meant for longer nights and more tired days. Sleep deprivation is my downfall. Somehow, when I am overly tired, my patience is zapped, my self-control abysmal and my frustration levels through the roof! It is on weeks like these that I might add a little sweetener…

When it comes to feast days, October is a *big* one: Those are some major players in the Catholic world and if I celebrated each one the way I wanted to, let’s just say nothing else would get done and we would have no money. BUT! Tomorrow is Saint Teresa of Ávila’s feast day, so…
