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.

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’

On being [truly] pro-life

I grew up assuming that my Catholic upbringing automatically made me pro-life (similar to the false assumption that you’re also Catholic if you never attend Mass🤔). Moreso, I assumed that my right-leaning political views confirmed my pro-life mindset. Oh, how wrong I was. As I’ve said—this is not a political blog. I could not— and… Continue reading On being [truly] pro-life

On Suffering

Not going to lie, last week I was completely certain God threw me a sucker punch. I had prayed all the Novena’s, went to Mass and Confession often and tried harder than usual to be “good”. This goodness, of course, had a great cause—to gather and use my deeds in order to spare my son… Continue reading On Suffering

I was so looking forward to titling this post, #kidneybaby, end of an era–but alas it was not meant to be. We arrived at the hospital at 5:45 am feeling confident. Brennan was taken back promptly at 7am. The surgeon ran about an hours with of tests to see how the bladder was doing after… Continue reading #kidneybaby part 5

On Christmas Gifts

With businesses big and small throwing consumerism in your face, the true meaning of Christmas can get lost in the cheap smoke show of secular culture. It can oftentimes feel like you can never do enough! Liam and I made a decision before Brennan was born to conscientiously keep that out of our home during… Continue reading On Christmas Gifts
