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 Traditionalism

When one dares to attend Latin Mass, any positive talk of it immediately dubs them a “Traditionalist”, “rad-trad”, or “Traddie”. These people do the real wild things of observing the Ember Days, and abstaining from meat every single Friday. The women veil their heads, and they fast during Lent and no one is quite sure… Continue reading On Traditionalism

Happy second day of Lent! I hope your season has gotten off to a good start. I for one am truly looking forward to seeing God work in my family and me this Lent because contrary to popular opinion, we CAN do hard things. As my friend’s priest said in yesterday’s homily, the modern Church… Continue reading On Lent part I

Catholic parents face many tough topics to address with their children, however, Sunday Mass should really not be one of them. As Brennan approaches three (!) he is not only more observant but also more vocal about what he sees in daily life. Of course, this does not stop once we enter Mass. Dr. Marshall… Continue reading On the Latin Mass part III

I recently listened to a podcast on New Order liturgical abuse by Dr. Taylor Marshall. You can listen too by clicking here (I promise you it is worth your 117 minutes). I cried while I listened because I realized that I was not nuts or weird or too-pious for being appalled at what the New… Continue reading On the Latin Mass part II

On the Latin Mass part I

During Advent, I noted that my family would no longer be abiding to modern-day Catholicism. Perhaps better dubbed, New Order Catholicism. Popping up on my social media feed, more often than not, is a universal cry for sanctity to be restored in the Church, still bleeding from the wounds she suffered from last year’s scandals.… Continue reading On the Latin Mass part I

On Advent

After seeing the startling number of full-blown Christmas decorations go up around the neighborhood and on social media, I can’t help but lament, poor Advent. Now of course, our Protestant friends do not celebrate Advent in the same way as Catholics, so I cannot expect those people to seek to learn or apply Catholic traditions… Continue reading On Advent
