Did you know research shows that the way you tell your love story matters?! Looking back with negativity can lead to more negativity in the relationship. Looking back with fondness, appreciation & positivity is an indication of a positive future as well. So tell your love story & tell it well 💞 Ours is my favorite!

“This mutual molding of husband and wife, this determined effort to perfect each other, can in a very real sense, as the Roman Catechism teaches, be said to be the chief reason and purpose of matrimony, provided matrimony be looked at not in the restricted sense as instituted for the proper conception and education of the child, but more widely as the blending of life as a whole and the mutual interchange and sharing thereof.“ Casti Connubii, p24

Last night we met with our marriage small group for our biweekly meeting. We’re studying this encyclical written by Pope Pius XI on Christian marriage in 1930. It’s so beautiful and thought provoking. This paragraph stood out to me most from our discussion last night & it was such a blessing to reflect on it with our dear friends. Thank you God for the gift of marriage and the way you created us to love & be loved!

What do you think about this reason & purpose for marriage? Let’s chat about it!💞

Jonah’s first fight ✈️

Set off to meet his great grandparents and spend a few days with our family. Everything we do lately makes me emotional - walking down the aisle of the airplane, sitting in Mass, going to grab ice cream - it all makes me tear up out of pure gratitude. I think of all the years of solo traveling I did while single. I loved every second of it AND I am overjoyed to now get to take my family along for the ride.

I love this life & these four are my greatest blessings of all time. Thank you Jesus🙏🏼

Celebrating the JOY of motherhood!☀️🌊🐚

My momma ✨ the most generous, selfless, supportive, loving woman. A model of service, adventure & strength!

My husband ✨ the one who created these three little lives with me. My motherhood is only what it is because of the way he lifts us up & leads our family every day.

My little three ✨ God has given me the sweetest most pure gift in these babes. It’s the honor of my life to be their mother.

💐✨ Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mamas, too! This community wouldn’t be what it is without you. Especially thinking of and praying for all the mothers who are grieving in any way today, and those longing for motherhood. God bless you all!
