“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has

“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.” Isaiah 40:29

In this time of slow down and uncertainty, I have been doing the one thing I know how. Journaling, writing, putting my prayers on paper. Something about making these feelings tangible in the form of the written word helps me. @paper_sunday sent me this beautiful, personalized journal, and each page inspires me even more with Scripture that speaks directly to me. Cling to your faith, sisters. We will get through this time! (Swipe to see what the inside of the journal looks like.)

This was today’s scripture in my Daily Reflectio

This was today’s scripture in my Daily Reflections for Lent book. The world has been ugly in a lot of ways for some time, but the current pandemic has affected us all in some way and our humanity is showing. The kindness and love is pouring out of many, while animosity still rears its ugly head. How can we be a light in this dark time?

My kids asked me if I had lived through a pandemic. They then asked if my grandparents had. Nope. This is a new experience for us all. Let us remain calm and offer our prayers and whatever resources we have. We will get through this.🙏🏻

I love the opportunity to connect with my kids about what they are reading. It’s one of my favorite parts of homeschooling! Yesterday my son and I chatted about Daniel Boone from the book in his @thegoodandthebeautiful reader.⁣

It has been a rough one today. We haven’t done actual school all week. Monday my kids had our monthly class with friends and one of my kids wasn’t feeling too well. It was just a cold. I spent most of the day today sanitizing everything because my seven year old seems to have some kind of stomach bug. With everything going on in the world my mind has just been racing. I did come to the table before dinner to find how a few of my kids have been doing to keep busy. We have had the pattern blocks and book from @mfwbooks for five years and they still get used! .

Happy Sunday homeschool mamas. My family and I had

Happy Sunday homeschool mamas. My family and I had a long church day and it was so nice sitting in St. Paul’s Cathedral and taking in the architecture and stained glass. Check out my stories for pictures. It was built in 1893 and I just love old churches and buildings. If you tell my three year old to be quiet, she’ll scream. “I don’t want to be quiet!” and it will echo and everyone in the church will hear. 😬 My husband and I participated in the Rite of Election, which was a special service for us on our Catholic journey! I hope you had a blessed Sunday!

There is so much truth to this. So much goes into

There is so much truth to this. So much goes into being a mother. When my husband came home tonight, I told him I was tired. Maybe more tired than usual. So much goes into a day. Planning meals, making the meals, washing clothes, getting them dressed, reading aloud, checking schoolwork, breaking up fights, cleaning up, cleaning up, delegating, and cleaning up some more. Mama, don’t ever let anyone tell you it is not enough. Mothers carry the invisible weight of the world on their shoulders.❤

This morning my husband and I loaded up our six kids and went to Mass for the first time ever on Ash Wednesday. We have never been a part of a church that participated in Lent. To say that we both feel at peace beginning this somber season, making sacrifices we have never purposefully made would be an understatement. To live our faith has changed us. Have a blessed Lent my friends!
