While I know the majority of my readers are not special needs parents, I know a devoted segment of you are. And those not raising special needs children themselves probably know Catholic parents who are living with this unique blessing. It’s why now I’m sharing all the details on my upcoming conference in the hopes […]
This was the week to start our new homeschooling semester! To establish new routines! To make real progress on my conference and book! But the universe laughed and said “Haha, no way! It’s time for you to get struck with an awful virus that will leave you in bed for days!” The only thing I’ve […]
After months of packing, cleaning, repairing, unpacking and organizing, we’re finally moved and settled into our new house, and have renters successfully settled into our old house. When we first had our offer accepted in October, I had no idea how long everything would take or how it would eat up all our free time […]
Less than 24 hours until renters take possession of our old home and we still have an entire room to paint and lots of cleaning to do. No takes from me this week, but hopefully an update on everything thing else here soon. Happy Feast of Candlemas tomorrow and Go Rams! An InLinkz Link-up
They say abortion is a women’s choice, however it seems to me many women choose abortion because they feel they don’t have any other choice.

We moved last Saturday, thus the weak Takes last week and non-existant social media presence for several days. Remember how I wrote about being a minimalist a few weeks back?? HA! I have tons of crap – tons and tons of crap that I am still putting away and organizing. We moved several times in […]
Lots of excitement here! Check back later for some sort of update thingy. Link up below in the mean time. An InLinkz Link-up
This is probably the least prepared I’ve been for writing a resolutions post. Not sure what that means for the success rate, but let’s do this thing!! First a recap of my 2018 resolutions. They were: keep exercising eat French stick with regular intermittent fasting limit mindless Facebook time and focus on in-person relationship building […]
Coming to you from my hometown of Lancaster, PA; it’s the best of 2018! In case you missed my top posts, book recommendations and favorite photos, scroll onward! My Christmas letter from last week details our family highlights, and newsletter subscribers will get the first peek of our new house on Wednesday so sign up […]
Greetings to all my friends and family! Some of you may be getting a Christmas card, but unfortunately, not all of you. Please consider this Christmas letter a substitute for a photo card; one you can reference frequently through the coming year when you wish to feel closer to yours truly! Tony started a new […]
The idea for this post has sat in my ideas folder for quite some time, but as Christmas approaches, as well as a move, it seems an especially fitting time to reflect upon all the stuff that has accumulated in our lives, and all of the stuff that is yet to come. Note: if you […]
It can be hard to find the right gift for your husband year after year. He has all the gadgets and clothes he needs, and you really don’t want another do-dad taking up space in the master bedroom. You’ve searched high and low for the best experience gifts but finding the pickings on Groupon pretty […]
Last week during one of my many scrolls through Facebook I came across an older article shared by a friend that talked about “finding God by welcoming the disabled”. A quote she shared from the article caught my eye and has stuck with me since. “So whether it is the disabled, the unborn, the elderly, […]
