There are very few things or people that can render me speechless, but this man and the love I have for him is something I could never fully put into words. A man that will comfort a sick child all night so I can sleep, even when he has meetings all day. A man that never ceases to amaze me with his generosity, his kindness, and his love - for me and our children. It’s been 10 years since our first Valentine’s Day together and I am so incredibly thankful that I get to spend the rest of my life saying I love you to you @edmbohnslav! Being loved by you is the greatest gift there is.
Happy Monday friends! New day, new week, and I’m determined to make it a good one. Those that followed my stories last week know last week didn’t go too well but today is a new leaf, and we are turning it! It’s been so fun watching the kids grow as they learn, especially G. He isn’t doing any official school, just learning colors through play, but he loves having his own “work” while the bigs do their lessons. He has also decided he will be ever so independent, always wanting to do things for himself or wanting to give a hand making meals. He just pulls his little tower all around the house and does his thing! His haircut made him suddenly seem so much bigger and while it pulls at this mama’s heart, I also love watching him grow into his own wee little lad! Fave learning tower from @micuna_usa - I’ll link it in my bio if anyone wants to check it out!
Social media can be the absolute pits of despair, but it can also bear such beautiful fruit! Almost 9 years ago, a mom, who was in a mutual Catholic moms Facebook group, messaged me after she noticed we lived in the same area. Our boys were a month (to the day) apart, we had anniversaries around the same time and we learned that both of our husbands were in finance, though they came from science backgrounds. Not to mention she was/is just so incredibly chic 😂 #iykyk EM and I went out on a limb and met this mama and her family at mass - fast forward 9 years, 5 more kids between the two of us, and they have become some of our dearest friends! This beautiful lady is a Godmama to one of our boys, and a best unlike the rest! There are times that I am so over this app, that I am ready to just walk away, but then I look at how fortunate we are to have found such kindred spirits to now call life long friends. Yesterday we got to celebrate the sweetest birthday for the sweetest boy and before we left @mariajedorah captured the most moving moment. So incredibly thankful for friends that become like family!
I would love to know when she got this big?! Just curious?
New year - new routine - new calendar! Tell me I’m not the only one that LOVES a fresh calendar? We may have an excessive amount and I’m totally ok with that! Parish calendars, planners, and this new fave from @artifactuprising that has tear away pictures! Yes please! . . . MARTINA15 for 15% off
My sweet girl. You are a miracle is so many ways! From a perfectly tight knot in her umbilical cord - what my OB called her "lucky knot" to getting hit with a foul ball in the head at 4months of age. My sweet girl we are so thankful for your life! #girlmom #catholicmom #catholic #catholiclife #motherdaughter #preciousmoments #youareloved #homeschoolmom #virginia #catholicwife #christmas #christmasdecor

I remove the tough bottom part of the stem, then place them on a baking sheet, drizzle olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and the juice of half of a fresh lemon. In a shallow dish combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan cheese. Due to the size of our family and amount of food needed, I used a second baking sheet and placed it on the rack below. If you use a harder veg, like the carrot, add your veggies earlier on, after 15 minutes of baking, to allow for them to finish at the same time as your chicken, while you will want to wait until 30 minutes in to add your asparagus.
Pumpkin EVERYTHING - squash, latte, pancakes 2. I do make food that is toddler approved – so this recipe is not without its merits. It came easy with both boys - then Evelyn was born, and things changed. Suddenly nursing became a chore - one that was mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting.
As Santa is going to be delivering the kids gifts to Italy this year, I thought how fun would it be if Santa sent some reindeer to help them in their flight? Traveling with 5 passports and for us also medical papers to prove the need for the kids inhalers, you need something to help you find things quickly. A clear zipper pouch which I picked up from Target, filled with some of my favorite skincare products from TonyMoly, like the makeup remover wipes, cleanser, toner, and moisturizer – will help keep my skin from rebelling like a hormonal teenager. Pregnant or not, being stuck on a plane for 7 hours isn’t the most comfortable of situations so an amazing neck pillow, and lumbar support pillow are a must have!
I am not a fashion blogger, so whether these are on trend or not, that I can’t tell you – what I can tell you, is that every item here is mom-of-three-crazy-kids APPROVED! It is shorter, and should be worn with high waisted pants, such as the denim posted below, but it is one of the most comfortable tops I’ve worn recently. The V-Neck button down tank is a great staple piece, also available in a burnt orange color. I’m pretty picky about the texture of my denim, as I’m not a fan of when they’re too thin that they feel like leggings, or too thick where I feel like I should be in a Marlboro ad.
