I used to be in the tradwife space on Instagram, but now I am working on short videos about my life as a Catholic with a creative calling. (I am seeking the best platform for what I make). On one hand I hate doing it because the truth is, I don't love being on camera, … Continue reading I Wouldn’t Monetize Being a Trad Wife

Busyness
Busy week. I hung out with my mom on FaceTime one day, and my dad the next. I love talking to my parents. Today a package arrived - always a special event living on this island, it seems like. In the box was a set of Sennelier iridescent soft pastels I am so excited to … Continue reading Busyness
Jesus Paid It All
I went to Mass on Tuesday, and I showed up early for Confession so that I could take Communion. Well, I had just confessed my sins and been given my penance, and I went to a seat in the sanctuary, and opened my phone. Somehow, I ended up opening youtube even though I didn't mean … Continue reading Jesus Paid It All
Religious Life – a New Order
I've written before about how I long for an organization or order of lay Catholics who are creatives. I feel a tug at my heart to build a website and start something. I've been longing for some form of religious life that allows for the integration of poetry, art, composing, choreography, etc to God's honor … Continue reading Religious Life – a New Order
Bible Journaling, Giant Cookie, Catechism
This morning I have been Bible journaling in the book of Daniel. Daniel had so much faith. I need faith like that, to count on God. It felt good to get my purple Bible journaling bag out and use my scented highlighters and all my other gorgeous supplies. I want to do more Bible journaling … Continue reading Bible Journaling, Giant Cookie, Catechism
My Journey to Catholicism

Although I just took OCIA this past year, I debated and considered Catholicism for years. Coming from a Protestant background, I felt deeply uncomfortable with … Continue reading My Journey to Catholicism
Mother Mary
I am gathering Catholic books. I bought 4 from Ascension Press that I downloaded on my ipad/kindle. One is about drawing near to Mother Mary like a daughter. This is still so new to me, somehow homey and foreign simultaneously. I don't know how to draw close to Mary. I want to find out. As … Continue reading Mother Mary
I’m Officially Catholic Now!
Glory to God! This morning I made my first confession, did my first penance, was confirmed in the Catholic Church, and took First Communion. I was anointed with oil. C came from work to be with me, as did my sponsor. I got a saint! I am now going to try to cultivate my relationship … Continue reading I’m Officially Catholic Now!
Tonight!
Tonight my first Instax Mini 99 is coming! I'm so excited! I also found an expired package of film to use in my Instax Mini 12 that I'm excited to shoot today. You never know how expired film will turn out. It's black and white film. So I don't know if I'll get as many … Continue reading Tonight!
A Cozy Day
I will not be confirming with my class at the Easter Vigil Mass. Instead, I will do it sometime in the next couple of weeks at a weekday service. Last sunday, I went to my final OCIA class before confirmation, and I panicked when I found out how late and long the service is going … Continue reading A Cozy Day
