I have to admit that February was a hot mess of ZERO motivation to read. I had a 2025 goal of reading 3 books each month. I was hoping to read to 3 books in February. I did not. I failed on that goal for this month. It was not because I didn’t have time,…

What I Read in January
One of my New Years goals for 2025 is to read 3 whole books a month. I say “whole” books because I have a terrible habit of starting five books and never finishing them. This year my book list (which you can find here) are mostly compiled of books I’ve started or bought in the…
Lent With Kids
Lent with kids can be a difficult balance, but bringing our children into our Lenten journey is so important. Making sure that it brought to their level can be hard. 40 days of sacrifice and growing darkness can seem too hard for our children to handle or comprehend. Additionally, our children understand more than we…
My 2025 Booklist
My New Year’s goal for 2025 is to read 3 books a month. That equals 36 books. It sounds like quite the feat, but I am determined to accomplish it. I do realize that as a mother of 5 kids, soon to be 6, life gets chaotic and 3 books a month may not happen,…
Goals for 2025
I choose to do goals rather than resolutions and it may be a personal/temperamental preference. Resolutions are intimidating for me. I used to be all or nothing, but once my resolution failed, I gave up. Goals give me more flexibility and don’t seem as rigid. It’s just a perspective change, but it helps keep…
Christmas Gift Ideas for Toddlers
Finding Christmas gifts for toddlers can seem easy until you take into consideration the clutter aspect. My clutter threshold (or how much clutter I can handle without becoming overwhelmed) is pretty low. The ideal gifts for my kids would be religious based, consumable, or something I would enjoy doing with them. Here are some of…
Living Liturgically- October
Living Liturgically looks different to every family and in different seasons. October has some of my favorite feast days, so it seemed fitting that this would be the first month that I tackle in this new series of mine. I want to give credit where credit is due and the idea of this post comes…
Spring Books for Kids
I love to bring out seasonal books for my kids. They come out during liturgical seasons, but they also come out during the physical seasons of the year, too. I will admit that Spring and Fall are the easiest seasons for me to remember to bring them out at the right time because of the…
Easter Books for Kids and Toddlers
My favorite part of Easter baskets (other than the candy, of course) is getting my kids good wholesome books to add to our Library. I like it to be a wide variety of Christ-centered, faith-based, and seasonal books as well. Some of them we bring out when Lent starts to help my children understand what…
Easter Basket Ideas for Children Under 8
I love finding the perfect items for my kids’ Easter baskets. This year I am hoping to come up with some really practical, fun, Faith-filled, and preferably consumable items. In the past I have loaded up on Dollar Tree toys and candy that last a couple of days, break, or add to the clutter in…
