Hey there peanut butter-lovers! I wanted to cobble together a short list of the wedding planning resources that have been a lifeline for me over the past year. Planning is hectic and at times, downright anxiety-inducing, and I wish I had known about some of these resources when I got engaged last year. For those of … Continue reading

Planning Our Marriage, Not Our Wedding
While chatting with E last month, she prodded me to blog more about the journey of preparing for marriage. The trouble is, I am learning so much but don’t feel as though I’ve made sufficient sense of things to write a post. I’ve definitely fallen into the Pinterest rabbit hole. After scrolling through too many … Continue reading
Word.
“Your yesterdays are gone. Your tomorrows are His. You have only today. This moment, I do the will of my Father. This moment I am obedient unto death. This moment I burn with a fire that knows neither end nor beginning, that must spill itself in the service of my neighbour, for I must prove … Continue reading
Why Can’t We Be Friends? It’s Christian Unity Week!
A little longer musing on Christian Unity… My musings on Christian unity began out of a purely personal quest. Just over a year ago, I began dating, a wonderful, holy, Christian man…who isn’t Catholic. (I’ll let that settle so the staunch Catholic and Protestant naysayers in the room warm up to the idea!) What began … Continue reading
On Feminine Time and PSL’s
Happy All Saints Day peanut butter lovers! Becca here— Autumn seems to be slipping away on me, so I’m pinning myself to my chair until I’ve got these thoughts posted! Back in August I read a blog post over on Bad Catholic by Marc Barnes. He was tackling the topic of gender (territory in which this blogger … Continue reading
On #NothingNewYear & Interior Poverty
My name is Eunice and It’s been 8 months and 3 weeks since my last purchase. Well, there was this one time in February…where I slipped up and bought a new dress from Old Navy. I brought it home only to realize it was a maternity dress so…jokes on me. But other than this one … Continue reading
Summer Road-trippin’
I don’t think this summer could have flown by any faster! I got engaged and this, of course, led to lots of celebrations. Fatigue aside, its been an incredibly happy season and Zaid and I are both so excited for what the future holds. Don’t we look excited? But all joking aside, it really has … Continue reading
St. James’ Day
Happy Feast Day of St. James the Greater, peanut butter lovers! Since walking the Camino de Santiago last year, this feast is particularly meaningful to me and gives me an opportunity to look back and reflect on how impactful that pilgrimage really was. Upon its completion last June, I wouldn’t have been able to predict how … Continue reading
A #NothingNewYear Check-In
It’s been six and a half months since we embarked on our challenge to purchase only thrifted clothing in 2015. Eunice and I both felt prompted to try this separately and when we chatted way back in December and realized that we were contemplating the same New Year’s resolution, we decided to take it to the blog! … Continue reading
Why I am in North Dakota this summer
Some have asked why I am in the middle of North Dakota this summer. And for those just tuning in, well, I am in North Dakota this summer! I thought it might be easier for both my own reflection and because it probably won’t be feasible for me to get to a phone/some sort of … Continue reading
Laudato Si’ with some Peanut Butter
Though we haven’t quite made it through (Becca was reading the first 75 pages on a flight to Dublin!), we thought it only fair to whip up a post (with some smooth peanut butter of course) about the latest encyclical from Papa Frankie. Here, are just a few of top picks… Fav Quote: Fav summaries: … Continue reading
Oh ye of little faith: My life lately
I’ve learned a lot from St. Peter this past year. He was a simple fisherman who God used to do great things. He was grossly under-qualified for the job Jesus gave him and really struggled with trust and abandonment. I’ve come back to accounts of Peter grasping and falling short in the Gospels so many … Continue reading
