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
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
New Planner System
I bought a rainbow themed digital planner I'm excited about. I really want to start using all the digital stickers I have. I was torn between using a planner on my ipad and using my paper planner in the binder, and then I decided on using my phone. It's a big phone with a stylus … Continue reading New Planner System

I had been wanting those for so long since my last set broke. They gave me a little raccoon, a candle, some art suppplies, … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day!
Welcome to My Refinished Space
I'm in my soft era. I want to write about my creative endeavors, marriage, motherhood, and Catholic faith. Of course I'll still write about submission, and also the Bipolar Disorder I struggle with. This is an honest diary. But I don't want as much acerbic content here as I have had in the past. I … Continue reading Welcome to My Refinished Space
Offering Up My Suffering
Last night was difficult for me. I was on the edge of taking my life. I took too many pills. I need to offer up my suffering to God. I don't know how. My life is so beautiful. I know that. But the pain gets so strong that it rips me apart. And when C … Continue reading Offering Up My Suffering
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!
