A joy of motherhood (that surprised me)
Why is it so hard to actually like kids? And who knew that having them would change my mind?
Welcome! Join me as I chronicle my reading, random observations, and share the things that catch my eye, all while chasing kids and chugging coffee.

The Heart of Perfection: A Great Book to Read (and Reread)
The Heart of Perfection, by Colleen Carroll Campbell, is just what I needed, and reading it was a journey I enjoyed (and I will be rereading it!).

When I saw this on his phone, I assumed he was capturing the fabulous light and the sunset. He was, of course, getting the combine in action. Good reminder that things aren’t often what they seem.

Cue the old lady voice, in which I intone about how I remember waaaaay back when the first edition of this book came out and how excited I was for my dear inspiration, friend, and mentor @lisahendey for her first book. And now it’s been TEN YEARS! And there’s a NEW EDITION! With THE CUTEST COVER EVER! And I’m just as proud and excited and inspired, ten years later. Thank you, dear Lisa, for the gift you are and have been for Catholic moms. ❤️🎉🙌 #lisahendeyftw #handbookforcatholicmoms #catholicmombooks #musthavebooks #greatcatholicbooks #catholicbookstagram
This is the book version of “where does the time go?” Also know as “how has it been TEN YEARS since one of my favorite books came out?” And also “hey, how awesome is my life? THAT’S MY FRIEND!” #lisahendeyFTW #bookofsaintsforcatholicmoms #mybookishlife #bookview #whenyouhavebothversions #catholicmombooks
When you look up on Monday and notice a little note... #godisgreater #lovenotes #thespiritspeaks #lovemykids

I. Will. Finish. This. Book. 🤪
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great. I’m just full of many other books. And my heart isn’t all-in on zipping through it when there is another book nearby. But now my Finish The Book side is screeeeeammmming and...well, maybe I will.
But maybe not tonight. 😬😉

Back porch #bookview with a porter, a novel on my Kindle, and the very wonderful new book by @kendra_tierney that I’m ever hopeful about finishing before my reviews are due... but I’m in a novel kind of mood. What’s in your hands tonight?
