living the ordinary seeing the extraordinary

About

Welcome to this little space where you will find me writing about love, life, loss and hope. I am the mother of ten, five little ones in heaven and five beautiful souls that I have been entrusted with here on earth.

In a nutshell we went from zero kids to five in just four years. This is a place where I chronicle the joys, hardships, craziness and awesome power of God!!

Our story can be found in a book I co-authored, Nursery of Heaven: Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Infant Loss in the Lives of the Saints and Today’s Parents. I am a contributor to CatholicMom and my writings can be found at Catholic Exchange and Blessed is She. I have also been featured as a guest on Relevant Radio and EWTN along with being a presenter at multiple virtual healing conferences.

Daily trying to figure this mom thing out, too bad we don’t get a manual. Learning every day how to live the ordinary in an extraordinary way!

Longing for a little balance in your life? Yeah, m Longing for a little balance in your life? Yeah, me too! 🙋‍♀️ There have been seasons in life where the balancing act has been easier, but I am realizing it is small steps. It doesn't have to be perfect to be fruitful.

It's never been about coffee or chocolate or wine. It's never been about coffee or chocolate or wine. It is a heart matter. A Creator who seeks our hearts. A Savior who's heart we seek. Because in the end it is only He who can truly fill it and make it whole.

Lent is almost here! If you are anything like me I Lent is almost here! If you are anything like me I am still trying to figure out what my Lenten plans will be. I always seem to come up with a laundry list and am ready to jump all in. What I forget is that  growth in holiness is a process and I probably won't be made perfect in 40 days, but here's to small steps to get me closer.

During the trials, storms and crosses of life, may I never forget God's promise. His faithfulness, His love and His goodness.

Rest. Jesus' command to his apostles in today's Go Rest. Jesus' command to his apostles in today's Gospel. Rest awhile. Something that is such a struggle for me, but it is a command from Jesus himself. After His apostles had ministered, taught and served, Jesus knew they needed rest. To pray, to fill themselves, to refocus, to reflect, to wonder at God's faithfulness.
.
So why do I find it so difficult as a mother to make it a priority to carve out time for myself to rest. And not feel guilty about it. Surely my wisdom does not exceed God's. Christ knew that in order for His apostles to continue to give to others they first had to be filled.

How are you resting this weekend?

Infertility and miscarriage, a topic that affects Infertility and miscarriage, a topic that affects so many couples to the point of increasing divorce rate. A cross spouses never imagined they would have to carry as they stood at the altar saying "I do" and making the promise to welcome children into their marriage. I am writing about it on the blog today, everydayann.com, link in my bio.
.
I am also joining @catholic_brides_podcast to talk about walking with your spouse through the journey of infertility and miscarriage.

The news and headlines can be discouraging and dep The news and headlines can be discouraging and depressing, to be honest most days I tune out. Still, how do we instill hope in our children. How do we show them God's faithfulness in a world filled with confusion. I am writing about it on the blog today, everydayann.com. Link in my bio. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Hold fast to the hope that lies before us. Hebrews 6:18
