New here? Welcome. This is a household journal — faith, motherhood, and a full, loud, beautiful life written down before I forget it. Here are a few posts that tell you who we are.

Memory Gold

The post that started it all. The whole picture of our life right now — the conversion, the school decisions, my mother, the Albanian grandparents folding laundry in the next room — in one place. Start here if you want to understand what this journal is and why I’m writing it.

A Piece of a Prism

How our family found its way to the Catholic Church. Not a dramatic conversion story — just a mom scrolling Facebook, clicking a link, and realizing she had accidentally started reading the Catechism. And then not being able to stop.

Macaroni Cups and the Meaning of the Eucharist

What my ten-year-old taught me about faith that I wasn’t expecting. He couldn’t let it go that we arrived at his First Communion retreat empty-handed. I had talked myself out of it somewhere between Tuesday and Saturday. He understood something before I did.

Coming Home Again

A chaotic moving day, my mother’s leg giving out halfway through, an Uber driver who was unexpectedly kind, and a husband who noticed everything quietly. This is the kind of day this journal is for.
