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

Instagram, Studio Life
I reinstated my writing Instagram, but not my trad account. I missed my small community on the writing account. And a record of the last decade of my life. I've been on it a lot less though. So the other night my husband took me by surprise. I can't remember exactly what we were talking … Continue reading Instagram, Studio Life
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 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
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!
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
A Challenge to Ultra Softness
Today's political circus and cultural collapse make radical softness difficult. I pledged back in 2024 to be radically soft, and overall in 2025 I practiced that goal in my personal life well. But since the Epstein files, something in me broke. Something changed. The evil is everywhere, and we aren't going to vote our way … Continue reading A Challenge to Ultra Softness
Catholic Lay Creative Order
I really wish there was a lay order of Catholic creatives I could join. I'm researching Catholic literary societies and might join the one I found. Ideally, such a society would practice lectio divina daily. There would be weekly meetings to share or critique work. There would be some element of public service related to … Continue reading Catholic Lay Creative Order
Changes Coming This Spring
Some of my views may be changing. I'm learning about the Catholic Church and the roots of Christianity, and soon this may not be a fundamentalist/evangelical page. It may be more....trad cath. Submission still matters, but my views on some other issues are beginning to change. I don't feel entirely comfortable with that at this … Continue reading Changes Coming This Spring
