“I still remember the days I prayed for the things I have now.” Today I’m thankful for a husband who doesn’t throw things away easily. And a husband who takes faithful care of everything he owns. A husband who is patient beyond belief and will go to all ends to tend to and fix something ..read more

What began as a glittery and goopy pile of glitter glue pens, turned into one of the most eye-opening pieces of art I’ve ever seen. My oldest son started pouring this mess of glitter pens onto his paper. Squeezing and squeezing these tubes of glittery glue until he couldn’t squeeze anymore, he was forcing all ..read more

As a Dental Hygienist, I have a certain amount of ease in the art of conversation. Conversation often comes easy to me. However, I am no stranger to the tougher nuts to crack – those patients that no one can find a common ground with or a conversation starter. Despite many attempts at conversation sparks ..read more

In the middle of March, my mother (also a Dental Hygienist) and I were considered “nonessential” and our services as Dental Hygienists were deemed “elective.” There were many blessings of quarantine like spending more time with my husband and children, finally having time to organize and purge our home, and beginning a virtual Bible study ..read more

I am a Dental Hygienist. I’ve been back in my Op since May.  I’ve spent the last two months working in the #1-Rated most dangerous profession to work in during this COVID-19 pandemic (according to this article) and I’ve got some stuff on my heart. I am aware that there has always been divisions, varying ..read more

I’ve been meaning to document our time in quarantine but the last few months, as one can expect, have been a whirlwind. As everyone is familiar with now, the COVID-19 ..read more

It’s been about two months since our family has been able to attend public Mass at our parish. While I am thankful that we were able to “attend” many virtual Masses during these quarantine weeks, I must say that I am not necessarily sad to see this whole virtual Mass go. Virtual Mass with two toddlers was challenging and eventful. While we tried our best to get the boys in the mindset of Mass, it was still difficult to get them to participate, behave, and listen. So I guess what I’m saying is that it was really no different from our life in the Cry-Room at our parish! LOL. I must say th ..read more

In many homes the Internet connection and WiFi is the pulse of the home. My home is no exception. My children love watching their favorite shows and characters on our various streaming platforms. If we are enjoying said shows/characters and if our Internet or WiFi loses signal and disconnects, it definitely affects our home. I wouldn’t say it’s like the highest priority in the “emergency list” but it’s definitely up there in the priority to get the Internet and/or WiFi back in operation (I know…I know…#firstworldproblems). Similarly…is it possible to lose our connection to our Faith? Absol ..read more

Happy New Year! I always enjoy bringing in another year because it means another year of goals, gratitude, and growth. Sometimes a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start in relationships, finances, and spirituality. I understand that some individuals don’t like the term “resolution” and that’s okay. Personally I don’t mind the term but I’m also a goal-setter who prefers to set goals throughout the year. I want you to know that the beginning of another year is not the only time that we can set goals – goals can be created, revised, and revamped at any time of the year. For this time ..read more
