    Book Review: Our Not-Quite-Holy Family

    I’m always in the mood for a good parenting book, but if there’s one with a little wit and a lot of common-sense, that’s even better. I just finished a book that touches on an array of topics related to marriage, family life and children. Our Not-Quite-Holy Family: A Practical Guide for Catholic Parents is […]

    Resurrection “Tomb” Rolls

    Here’s an easy way to celebrate Holy Saturday. This is our family’s annual tradition and a bit of a treat after a long Lent. I make these on Good Friday and then refrigerate them. We bake them for a dessert on Holy Saturday. You can either make a basic dough recipe (here’s one I use […]

    Small Successes of 2020 – “What the 2020?!?”

    It has been a year! A year since the shutdowns of 2020 and I am grateful. Interesting combo, right? Well, I didn’t realize how grateful I was for the past year, until I read a blog post by a person who wrote their “2020 Eulogy”. At first it was entertaining, then I realized how sad […]

    Seedlings, Spring, and Heating Pads

    There’s something very uplifting about planting seeds. Even though it’s only the beginning of March, with still potentially freezing temps in Wisconsin, we have reached a new season. A season of growth and new life. It’s time to plant seeds! Onions are usually our first seeds to plant, but this year we made a big […]

    Gather Together: Recipes and Reflections

    I have a soft spot for entertaining and cooking. The book Gather Together: Recipes and Reflections to Inspire Faith and Friendship Around the Table, written by Catherine Fowler Sample, brings together my two loves in one space.

    Make Elderberry Syrup at Home

    It has been known for centuries that Elderberry Syrup is a beneficial flu and cold remedy (an immune booster), but it wasn’t until I did more research that I realized it truly is a marvelous berry! Not only does it boost your immune system with Vitamins and Minerals, it can also reduce flu or cold […]

    Living Small and Budgeting

    Many of us have felt this shift, or more so a call – a voice calling us that there’s more to everyday life. No, not more material items or more “experiences” and vacations, but more to life than what our modern world provides. 2020 brought many difficult times, but the blessings are more numeral than […]

    Morning Flaxseed Muffins

    I was searching the internet, hoping to find a different muffin recipe – one that was unique and I had never attempted before. Well, I found it! Of course, I modified the recipe due to either lacking ingredients (I’m trying to be very conscience and use up what we have before purchasing more) or knowing […]

    2020: Ending the Superficial Spiral

    The start of a new year brings hope, faith, and lots of love for those in our lives. Some of us thrive on resolutions (I have never cared for resolutions), whether it be nutrition, dieting, fitness, a big house, a designer wardrobe, a better job, or more money. But after the year of 2020, do […]

    Dried Oranges and Homemade Citrus Cleaner

    Growing up, our family did not decorate early for Christmas. Instead, we would use items from around the home or yard to keep the house alive, but in quiet preparation for the coming of Christ.

    Book Review: Home in the Church by Jessica Ptomey

    Do you know what warms my heart? What draws me in? A good book, but not just any good book – a book that embraces change. A book that shows a purpose, a struggle, but ultimately, a journey. This is exactly what Jessica Ptomey wrote about in her new book, Home in the Church: Living […]
