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
New Notebooks for Learning
I was on amazon late one night when I shouldn't have been, and I absolutely loved these composition books I saw with rainbow pages inside. They came 6 to a pack. So I gave one to my daughter, and the others I'm going to use to take notes in my personal curriculum. On top of … Continue reading New Notebooks for Learning
Life
After dropping A off at school and driving down the street, I got a phone call. I answered it and a cute little voice said, "Mom, I forgot my project at home in the living room. Can you bring it for me? I'm sorry." Since it is her first time forgetting anything this year, and … Continue reading Life
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

I might have downloaded two magazine apps today and gone a little crazy buying issues. Last night I didn't get to sleep until past 3 am. … Continue reading I Have Magazines!
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
Personal Curriculum Plans
It is midway through June and I still don't have my summer curriculum set up, so the one I create might bleed into the fall. I've decided I want to study Spanish so that I can communicate in Spanish to L and to A. A has been taking Spanish lessons online. I'll probably use the … Continue reading Personal Curriculum Plans
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 we have already confirmed, Father C has asked my little OCIA class to come to the first day of the new class and talk about our journeys 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
