Lifestyle blog for homemaking and personal growth
I have talked about how I was born into a Catholic family and how over the last year or so I’ve really embraced my faith in a way that I never have before. While I am a cradle Catholic, I was also part of a family that wasn’t well catechized and we very much lived…
I love the fall season. It’s such a beautiful season, full of changing light and colours. I really love the way the sunlight seems to glow and is softer and there’s nothing I love better than seeing the leaves turn red and orange. With fall of course, comes some changes in our personal comforts. We…
It’s no secret that I became a mom in the height of the pandemic, back in 2021. Having your first child is a life milestone, one that is life changing. Once you have a child, you have a young human being entirely dependent on you, and it’s your actual job to keep that baby alive and…

I am going to point out something I think all of us know: we all need a day of rest. How many times do we complain on Monday morning that the weekend was just too busy? That we had no time to re-set and rest? That we are just so tired. As someone who has…
