Great article! I always think of you and Frodo as kindred spirits – because he is the “naming expert” who picked Elanor’s name 🙂

Fun Facebook memory today! ✨️ Happy Saturday, day of Our Lady! 💙🌹

As always, my heart and prayers are with those at the March for Life. ❤️🙏

Have you all gotten your Saint of the Year and Word of the Year from @jenniferfulwiler 's generators? I'm excited about both of mine! When my nephew (and godson 🥰) Malachy was born, I discovered that St. Malachy O'More and St. Bernard of Clairvaux were great friends -- so cool! And graceful can mean full of God's grace (yes please) and also full of grace like as in loveliness and quiet confidence -- both of those sound great to me! #2024

Happy feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
