…cue the music (or is it just me?). I’m over at Catholic Exchange: This is one of those years where it’s striking me particularly hard that May is Mary’s month. As busy, as crazy, as chaotic as it is, it’s Mary’s month. As hare-brained as I am, as filled to the max with unfinished tasks, as [...]
The Soundtrack of Conversion: Win Angels & Saints at Ephesus
May 6, 2013 By 19 Comments
A Mary Moment Monday post I find writing my conversion story nearly impossible. It’s not that I don’t have one, it’s that it doesn’t have a lightning bolt “AH-HA” moment. I can tell it so that you laugh, so that you grimace, so that you smack me. I cannot, however, tell it in 2000 words [...]

April 18, 2013 By 17 Comments
Welcome to day 4 of Ten Bodacious Basics—Ten Minutes at a Time, the (audio!) blog tour for Pat Gohn’s awesome new book, Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious (published by Ave Maria Press).

The Joy of Mary’s Marriage to Joseph
March 18, 2013 By 3 Comments
A Mary Moment Monday post Mary and Joseph’s marriage didn’t exactly get off to an easy start. They were engaged and Joseph had promised not to “defile” Mary, because she was a consecrated virgin. He was really only marrying her because, in that day and age, there was no security in being a single woman. [...]
I'm a Catholic wife and mom who has a bit of an obsession with reading, horses, and things geeky. This blog is my journey through life, and I'll try not to be TOO random, but I make no promises.
