I don't remember who told me I needed to invite Colleen Duggan onto my podcast back in 2015 (waaaay back two babies ago when I podcasted...nuff said), but I'm so glad I did. The interview I did with Colleen on The Right Heart is one of my favorites. Her brand of honesty about what real Catholic ...

A reading season
I think I've read more books more over the past six months than I've read in the past four years combined. A little fiction, a little nonfiction, and a healthy dose of self-care and spiritual reading. It's been lovely. I credit a lot of this newfound time spent reading to staying mostly away ...

My sanity savers right now
It's 7:30am on a Saturday morning. I've somehow managed to sneak off to a coffee shop for a few hours today, after some good-natured negotiating with my husband on our weekend activities. Realistically, that is where I am with writing these days: stolen little bits of time every couple of months or ... Read More about My sanity savers right now
The golden years are fast and slow
My parish has some of the sweetest older ladies in the world. Rarely does a Sunday mass go by without one or two of them walking up to Michael and me to tell us what a beautiful family we have, what a great job we're doing (no matter how awful the kids behaved in mass), and that we will one day miss ...

The month I turned 30, had my fourth baby, celebrated 8 years of marriage, and survived the Great Flood
I feel like the slow, leisurely summer I had was probably a God-send. August has been a real roller coaster. First came my 30th birthday, on August 1. There was a long, lovely weekend of shopping, good food, and cake. Among my favorite gifts was a mini shopping spree at Bath and Body Works ...

Winding down and winding up: An end-of-summer update
It has been a lovely, restful summer, for the most part. I felt a strong call in the late spring this year to wind down in many ways, and I'm so grateful that I've been able to do that. Aside from a week of VBS in June and a couple of rounds of swim lessons, the kids and I have lived pretty low-key ... Read More about Winding down and winding up: An end-of-summer update
In case you “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”…
I thought that Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" was the most romantic song I'd ever heard when I was in 7th grade and heard it in the movie, Armageddon. It actually nudged the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" from it's longtime #1 spot, that is until my future husband and his friends ... Read More about In case you “Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”…
Back to the Heart of Sunday Rest, with Lisa Schmidt
Lisa Schmidt of The Practicing Catholic is back for Episode 27 of The Right Heart, and my interview with her has become one of my favorite episodes of podcast. (Lisa's first time on the podcast was in Episode 17: Restoring Your Fertility to God as a Couple). In this interview, Lisa and I have an ...

Slowing down
I've probably come back to this post in my drafts seven or eight times now. There's so much I want to say, but probably don't need to say. There's so much I want explain about this season of my life right now, but could never do justice to in a blog post. I've discerned clearly over the past ... Read More about Slowing down
