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
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
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
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
Michelangelo, Maya Angelo, and Theological Truths in the Sistine Chapel
A year and a half ago I went through a difficult break-up. It was a challenging season but through it all I really felt the presence of God. One thing that really helped me through the restlessness as the months passed was delving into the mystery of my own feminine heart and learning about what … Continue reading
Introducing a New Series
I’ve heard it said that there is a season for living and a season for writing. Oftentimes we need periods of great change in our lives to have the raw material and rich life experience to reflect upon. Friends, this has been a season of living for both Eunice and I and because of that, … Continue reading
A lil’ Valentine for You
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! I have always loved this holiday, not because of a penchant for stuffed animals and waxy chocolate, but because the legends surrounding the life of Saint Valentine are so, so epic! In any case, today’s gospel reading is so fitting for a day celebrating all things love. In Mark 8:1-10, we see … Continue reading

The Sheenazing Awards
So I’ve been spending this weekday evening in typical fashion (sipping tea and putting off my homework) and figured I should probably check out the Sheenazing Award nominations to cast my vote. One day I’ll master what our beloved Catherine Doherty calls “the duty of the moment” but today I’m still working on it. The Sheenazing … Continue reading
