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 Our Journey Home

With the permission of my husband, I wanted to share the greatest love story of our lives— our marriage and its return to the traditional Catholic faith. In 2013 when Liam and I began hanging out, I was a very lapsed Catholic (going to Mass on Sunday’s and unworthily receiving Communion) and Liam considered himself… Continue reading On Our Journey Home

Happy Due Date, baby Declan! I meant to type this out much sooner but your first week of life was a bit more eventful than we anticipated because your big brother Brennan got bit by a tick and basically imploded. Glad it took less than 48 hours of you earth side for us to be… Continue reading Declan’s Birth Story

Dear Brennan, Today you are three! You’ve officially outgrown your babyness and realize you are able to test your (and our) limits daily. Even on our most exhausting days, one look into your eyes can flood my heart with nothing but gratitude. This year brought about some big changes for you! You started off year… Continue reading On Brennan’s 3rd Birthday

On Traditionalism

March 19, 2019March 19, 2019 angrycatholicmom3 Comments

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

On the Latin Mass part III

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

On the Latin Mass part II

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
