Happy feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary!! You know how I feel about #names for Our Lady -- I wrote a whole book about them after all! {link in bio} I love her actual #name (Mary, Marie, Maria); I love names from her apparition sites (Lourdes, Guadalupe, Fatima); I love names that describe her (Pia, Clement, Beata); I love names otherwise associated with her (Rosary, Ransom, Visitación). I love the Catholic tradition of giving a Marian name to one's children, girls and boys -- I love that it still happens and I want to see it happen even more. There are so many ways to do so! Ways to fit every style/family/cultural consideration. It's a beautiful way to honor Mother Mary. 💙💙💙 "Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did.” -- Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe

I canNOT believe that summer is basically over, can you?? I was looking back on the blog today at my previous #LaborDay posts and they all included the story about my baby shower for my oldest being on or near Labor Day and "Happy Labor Day" being written on the cake so I definitely did NOT include that in my post today, no sir. Totally overdone. What's not overdone though and could never be is coming up with #name ideas for a new little bebe! So I was thrilled to post today another #babynameconsultation by @theresazoewilliams! It's for a first baby, which is always fun because the first baby really sets the name tone for the other children with whom the parents may be blessed. Go check it out and share your ideas! {link in bio} #catholic #names #babynames #catholicnames #catholicbabynames #mondaymotivation ((image: teenagers, man. This is my 15yo's desk corner.))

Last night's moon was amazing -- so big and bright! These were taken at three different spots in my town last night around 8:30 -- it rivaled the brightness of the setting sun! The moon is associated with Our Lady because she reflects her Son, like the moon reflects the sun; we also see the moon in various representations of her, like Our Lady of Guadalupe. And today's the feast of the Queenship of Mary! The moon is supposed to be similarly bright tonight -- I love that it lit up the sky on the eve of this beautiful feast, and will do so again on the feast itself. 💙💙💙 #bluemoon #mothermaryftw

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Feast of the Assumption yesterday! I just posted a #babynameconsultation by @theresazoewilliams for baby no. 6, whose parents have a mix of super classic and unexpected #names on their list. Theresa's ideas were a similar mix of classic and unexpected, which I always find fun -- what names would you add? {link in bio} #catholic #name #babynames #catholicnames #catholicbabynames #mariannames #marianbabynames #mondaymotivation ((image: I took this of the splash pad at our local park recently -- I was so taken with how the sun lit up the water, and the blue blue sky, and the green green grass -- you all know I'm no photographer, the beauty here is all God's handiwork! And isn't it just the picture of summer?? ☀☀☀))
