I am the mom to our #kidneybaby, Brennan, and to partially-baked baby #2; I'm the wife of a lovable giant, and call Fort Hood, TX home as long as the Army allows it! As a proud Virginia Tech Alum, a lot of maroon and orange is worn in our home! Although I grew up Catholic, the sacrament of marriage has revolutionized my life and relationship with Jesus. I often look to Mary, Mother of Sorrows for my intercessions and prayers as I have found the greatest joys are found through the stormy seasons of life. Sometimes angry, mostly hungry, but always joyful.

On Scandal

I, like many of you, were saddened by the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report released this past week mere days after the resignation of Cardinal McCarrick. After picking my jaw up off the floor (and I only read some of the report) I felt my sadness turn to anger; that anger turn to shame. The shame… Continue reading On Scandal

Dude, don’t touch my kid.

It starts innocently enough– you see a family taking an evening stroll, walking into the pews at church, or whizzing around the grocery store. Then something in your brain immediately clicks– cute child/baby = must hug/grab/poke, touch. Dude, don’t touch my kid. I’m not sure what it is that makes you think it’s okay to… Continue reading Dude, don’t touch my kid.

Dear Winston, One whole year around the sun with you, sweet boy! Today you ate your first cookie and got vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt. Your family sure knows how to party!😅 I remember when everyone left us alone, just an hour after your birth—no alarms, no nurses running in and out, no fear… Continue reading On Winston’s 1st Birthday

#kidneybaby: end of an era

July 19, 2018July 21, 2018 angrycatholicmom1 Comment

Yesterday’s surgery truly marked the end of an era; the end of Brennan’s kidney-babyhood. Brennan was in good spirits despite fasting for 12 hours and actually drove his Cozy-Car right back into the OR. After seven hours of waiting, his surgeon called us back to give us the best possible news—everything had gone according to… Continue reading #kidneybaby: end of an era

Joy comes in the morning. We hear this cliché time and time again. But what happens when we wake up to find that our clouds cover the sun and our proverbial lamp is out of oil? The sun does not always come out tomorrow. And that’s okay because joy comes in the mourning. Everyone always… Continue reading On Fiat

On ‘Wraith’

Last week I had the privilege of screening the movie Wraith before it is released on VOD/Blu-Ray on May 8th. It is a first-of-its kind film that intertwines the Pro-Life movement into the horror/thriller film scene. When I was approached to view the film, I must say I was a bit skeptical. Most thrillers are… Continue reading On ‘Wraith’

Dear Brennan, Today you are two! Every day with you proves to be a new adventure and we are so thrilled to be on it with you.
