Our faith is the pillar on which our entire life rests. While I am a recent convert to the Catholic faith (as of Easter 2019), my husband grew up Catholic and we are raising our boys in the faith as well. I find such joy in teaching our boys about God, the fruits of the spirit, and how Jesus loves us!
Day by day, I also continue to dig deeper into my own faith and learn more about his plans for my family and how I can best serve Him. I would love for you to join the conversation.

I know firsthand that there is no one right way to raise a family. Each family has been given its own set of strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and quirks that individually shape each person to become who God meant for them to be in life.
I share our family joys, learning moments, tips, and tricks I've learned along the way while raising little ones here.
Here are a few of my favorite posts on family.

Good food and great conversation between family and friends brings me great joy! I am also a big believer in meal planning on a weekly basis and trying out new recipes frequently.
Here I share my most beloved recipes and hope that when you make them in your home, your family loves them as much as mine does!

I am really excited about connecting with other mothers and families who are working towards creating a happy home and heart in their own lives and in their children.
To quote one of my inspirations, Jennifer Mackintosh, "Anything that is good, true and beautiful here is merely a reflection of THE Good, True, and Beautiful from the Creator of all. It is the splendor within our ordinary."
