One thing I am very grateful for is that we didn’t have to cancel any trips this year. Since Azelie was born in February, we always planned to spend 2020 pretty close to home…not quite as literally close to home as we have been, of course, but not too much farther, either! I would guess […]

The only thing we have checked off of our house to-do list since February is painting our front door! Now that we are finally getting into a bit more of a groove with two kids, we’re eager to pick up our paintbrushes and get back to work. As you may remember, our experience of buying […]

The table is always at the forefront of my mind when I’m planning feast day celebrations in my family. So many liturgical living traditions center around food, and even when they don’t, pulling meal planning inspiration from the place a Saint is from is easy. The real magic, though, lies in the gathering around the […]

I am still taken aback every time I look at the calendar and see that it’s August! It feels as though summer just began, and yet, here we are with only a few short weeks left before school starts. I’m eager to carve out some time this weekend to reflect and figure out what matters […]

Azelie is just over five months old, and gosh, what a five months it has been! Now that we are out of the fourth trimester and quarantine, I feel like I’m slowly inching toward some semblance of a routine and (dare I say it) sense of normalcy. It is almost impossible for me to compare […]

I always cringe to realize that I’ve gone a whole week without any other blog posts than Love Lists…sorry about that, friends! There are SO many things I want to blog about, but right now, it feels like there is no time at all to do it, let alone do it well. I know it’s […]

I literally forgot that today is Friday…this week has been a blur! My parents were here with us from Friday-Tuesday and then my sister Dana arrived on Wednesday night, so our schedule has been thrown off in the very best way. Dave’s elbow surgery went well last week (thank you for your continued prayers!!) but […]

There’s no way to sugarcoat it…this week was a doozy. Dave broke his elbow pretty badly on Monday night, and navigating doctor’s offices in pandemic protocol with a three-year-old and a baby in tow has been challenging, to put it lightly. He is going in for surgery this morning so we would love your prayers […]
