Although baby Easter baskets aren’t entirely necessary because they don’t really know what is going on, they are so fun to make. I enjoy putting items in my baby’s Easter basket that they already need, but fit the cute Easter theme. Plus, now that I have 5, soon-to-be 6 kids, my kids would not allow…

Helpful Books for Catholic Moms
I love reading books that help me to be a better mom. I especially love books for Catholic moms. Some of these are the typical books that would be helpful even if I wasn’t a mom, too. One of my favorite genres is Self- development books. I read a lot of the stereotypical new mom…
“Get Your Kid Outside” Easter Basket Ideas
One of the best things we can do for our kids is to get them outside. I love using these Easter basket ideas to facilitate that. I have 5 kids under 9 years-old, 4 of them are boys and so the nature-themed gifts really get their attention and they thoroughly enjoy them. These toys are…
What I Read in February
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…

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…
