Today, Jolly and Annie will discuss moments in motherhood wherein one feels unseen or unheard in the journey of raising children. How do we exercise God-appointed authority as mothers? How do we bring life and not merely demand our own agendas? We will discuss the examples in Sacred Scripture of two kinds of leadership found in the New and the Old Testaments. What is the aim? Are we called to build monuments of perfect...

It’s back-to-school time and we know that comes with an endless check-list, grumpy kids and its own set of complicated emotions. Today, Jolly and Annie will discuss motherhood as a “path of paradox,” particularly when it comes to the passage of time. How do we find peace in seasons of transition? How do the answers the world gives differ from what Christ is calling us to do? We will discuss all that and more as we seek to find Chri...

Today, Jolly and Annie will continue to look at the prayer life of a mom and delve into two more ways our prayer lives can take shape in the day to day of our vocation. Today they will examine our lives as a prayer and a living sacrifice, as well as our ability to spend our days rooted in the presence of God. Let us know if there are ways you have discovered that make your prayer-life as a mom work!

Motherhood alters nearly every area of our lives. We sleep less, our meals are often cold, our time is not our own, not to mention our bodies. But our prayer lives often become completely unrecognizable. Today, Annie and Jolly will kick off a two-part series considering some practical ways we can actively include prayer in our daily lives in this wonderful, and often all-consuming vocation.

Your birthday, an anniversary, Mother’s Day–these days can be a complicated combination of expectation, anticipation, joy, and delight, often mixed with disappointment and resentment when what we’ve imagined is a far cry from what the day delivers. Annie and Jolly share their experiences with this familiar cycle by discussing some occasions where they were left deflated after a special day. They also share what they ha...

Sometimes the words “self-care” can create an unpleasant response in us, making us feel like it’s just one more thing we are failing at, or one more thing we need to fit in. Today, Annie and Jolly will talk about how the simplest form of self-care is spending time with dear friends. They will examine Psalm 27:9 and share their experiences of how the Lord has renewed and refreshed them through deep and meaningful friendships. They w...

This time of year is full of late nights, pool days and extra family time. It also often includes a family “vacation.” Jolly and Annie discuss why they think it’s better to call it a “trip,” since packing, prep, long days in the car and adventures away from home with children are anything but a vacation. So, if you are looking ahead to a big family trip and wondering if you have the strength and energy to pull it off, ...

As we approach the summer months, we thought we would spend some time considering the change in routine and the challenges that accompany those changes.

May can be the craziest month for moms. Today, Jolly and Annie will look, in a special way, at the letting go that often defines this time of year. Whether you are grieving the baby who will go off to school next year, the high school graduate who is anxious to move on, or the college graduate who isn’t sure what’s next, we know there is much to learn. We will discuss the call to surrender and encourage each other to l...

Today we are going to discuss how sometimes we need to take a minute to take care of ourselves but that our children also love us whether we are showered and clean or not. Annie will also tell a story of one of her most humiliating moments as a mom as we examine the truth that our children can be a source of humility and humor but we know God works it all together for good for our salvation and for their good as well. 

In today’s episode we change gears a little and talk about some of the humorous absurdities of motherhood. Whether your hope is constantly dashed over not getting to go to the bathroom alone, or your children can’t find their shoes on the way out the door to Sunday mass, these universal truths certainly bring humor to our days. Join us as we laugh ‘till we cry about interrupted phone calls, lost scissors and more. We k...

As we head into Holy Week we want to spend some time reflecting on the Triduum and ways to observe these holy days as a family, particularly in light of the vocation of motherhood. We know the season of motherhood you are in makes all the difference in how you observe these days. We also want to remind you that as you embrace the self-gift of motherhood, you are placed in a unique position to enter i...

In today’s episode we check-in with where we are spiritually and what the Lord is doing in us (so far) this Lenten season. We recognize that this vocation can feel like a barrier to spiritual flourishing, particularly if we are longing for quiet contemplation. We will examine the ways the Lord is calling us to greater holiness and surrender through all the seasons of motherhood and discuss ways we ca...

Today’s episode is titled “You are the Potter; I am the Clay” and we will be talking about the beautiful analogy of the Potter and the Clay in scripture, and dig into that imagery a little as it relates to motherhood and the work God is doing in our lives and in our domestic churches.
