Lenten reading ☝️ with my big boys (ages 11, 13, 14, and 16, and 18 when he's home from college). I wrote an article a while ago for @catholicmomcommunity listing other faith read-alouds for older kids -- perhaps a perfect way to finish up Lent in your home? {link in bio}

We had a great several-week run of no sickness after being hammered this fall/winter, but this week saw pukes and coughs and dramatic sneezes, ugh. On the bright side, two #names that delighted me at the doctor's office this morning: Collette and Scarlett! 😍 Also, aren't these St. Paddy's Day flowers gorrgeous?? ☘️☘️☘️
