It's crazy to think my littlest pumpkin is over 6 months old now! She crawls all over the place, pulls herself up to standing, LOVES peek-a-boo, and eats all sorts of healthy "people" food, like chicken, fish, mushrooms, spinach, yogurt, and apples. She's the cutest little bundle of joy, and we're all just absolutely smitten with her. ๐ Of course, the last six months have definitely been an adjustment... from being able to work all day while all my kids were in school to now taking care of a...

Have you ever wondered what Heaven looks like? Maybe you read a book or watched a movie that made you think, "I'm not sure that's accurate..." Or maybe your kids asked questions you weren't sure how to answer. Is Heaven really a big open space with nothing but light, like in the movies? Does Saint Peter really meet us at the pearly gates with a list? Do people become angels once they get to Heaven? Is Heaven incredibly boring, with nothing to do all day? (I'll give you a hint: NONE of these...

One of my favorite things about Lent is that it's an excellent opportunity to pause and do a spiritual health check-up. What part(s) of your faith are doing well?

This might mean adding in new spiritual disciplines, like prayer or Bible reading. OR it might mean getting honest with yourself (and with God) about your favorite pet sins that you can't seem to let go. The...

Giving up meat on Fridays during Lent this year? Even though I'm not Catholic, my husband's entire family is (including our 4 kids), so I still follow the Catholic Lent fasting rules with everyone else, even though I don't *have* to. (Although, I'm not going to lie... I skipped out last year when I was pregnant, and I was NOT sad about it when I was craving - and eating - EVERYTHING.) I'm sure I could skip out this year too. I'm nursing, so I'm exempt. But fasting during Lent is honestly...

While Ash Wednesday doesnโt require the weeks or even months of shopping, cooking, and cleaning other Christian holidays do (thankfully!), it can be helpful to do a quick review of everything you need to know before the holiday gets well underway. Depending on how you observe Ash Wednesday, you might want to officially decide what to give up for Lent, review the Catholic Lent fasting guidelines (it IS a fasting day!),...
