It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

My gosh – I feel like I’ve been saying this like crazy recently, but Spring is OFFICIALLY the busiest time of the year. I used to feel like Fall took the cake in this department, but Spring crushes me every single year. Even when I try my best to not do all the things so we can have down time, the activities find a way to all intersect in the worst way in the spring – not to mention the start of flower farming season that comes on FAST!

Like always, here’s a summary of what’s been happening around here!

It’s Ash Wednesday and every year on this day, I find myself diving deeper and deeper into the Lenten season ahead. I’m not sure if it’s age or the more you learn spiritually every passing year, but you realize how precious life is and how temporary our life here on Earth is. As a Catholic, Lent is a time to grow in faith and grow closer to God. We prepare and reflect on the great sacrifice Jesus made for us. We repent, turn away from sin and seek to change our own life to become more Christ-centered.

I’ve shared this many times before, but we have the Hallow app and use it religiously (no pun intended). I LOVE the daily reflections – which serve as mini “homilies” on the daily Gospel reading. The other day, Jeff Cavins (the individual who writes the daily reflections) talked about a Latin phrase – “Momento Mori” translated “remember you must die“. That phrase has really stuck with me the past couple days – today particularly. While morbid, it is a reminder of our Earthly lives fleeting nature. It is also an important reminder to think about our purpose here and help focus on our hope and desire for eternal life. How can we get to Heaven?

Good morning and happy Thursday! After dealing with annoying issues, I’m back to blogging and can upload pictures again… yay!

Today, I’m sharing a day in the like – weekend edition – from a couple weeks ago! It was a pretty boring day, but I had it on my calendar, so let’s jump in!

I was having some storage/hosting issues on my website, and would appreciate any advice on this topic! What platform do you love if you blog and does it give you enough storage (i.e. cloud, etc). Site hosting is getting expensive, so I want to make sure I’m making the right decision so I can continue blogging!

Another week and another week filled with no school for the kiddos! These kids have had a good run here and are upset to go back to school for ONE MORE DAY. I told them, it’s literally Friday, the weekend is here, but they gave me a hard time this morning.

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

IT’S FRIDDDAAAYYY – and it’s about to be February! Okay, I know people joke about January being so long, but honestly IT IS! New Year’s Day feels like forever ago?!

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

I am so happy to be back blogging! These are my favorite posts and I love reading other bloggers as well!

It’s Friday!! The weekend is here again? HOW??! The kids had two days of school this week, so they are pumped for another couple days off of school yet again!

We are looking forward to a fun weekend – the school is kicking off Catholic Schools week with a paint night and dinner so that should be a fun time for our family!

Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share them!

Oh my goodness, when I went to clone a former day in the life post, 1.23.24 – Snow Day Edition, happened to be the last one! It’s crazy, how life can be so similar just a year apart. I had it on my calendar to share a day in the life post today and it happened to ALSO be another snow Day edition. The kids have been out of school and truly enjoyed their 5-day weekend…

So, today, we are back in the swing of things and about to share our day yesterday! Hope you enjoy reading along! These posts are like little journal entries for me, and I am so happy I write them because I know someday, I will absolutely love looking back at the good ole days!

Good morning and Happy Thursday! My gosh, it’s been FREEZING cold here and very snowy (consistently), which hasn’t happened the past couple winters. The past couple winters have been very mild and had a lot less days of snow on the ground. I am really enjoying it though.

Today, I’m giving winter all the love in this post. Why I’ve come to love it and appreciate it more. Now, I’m not gonna lie, I start to get really annoyed by the end of February, but for now, let’s embrace the beauty winter has to offer!

So let’s jump into some winter love…
