About Me

Hi, I'm Annie! I'm a Catholic wife, writer & producer, and I work from home on a prayer ministry I run with my husband. I also write about, and share, some of the best things I find about living an authentic Catholic life as a woman & wife.

Take A Look Around

We start the St. Therese of Lisieux Novena tomorro

We start the St. Therese of Lisieux Novena tomorrow. 🌹🌹🌹 She’s one of my favs. Will you be joining us? How can I pray for you? I’ll share the prayers here, in my stories, and of course over at @praymorenovenas 🙏

Here are some pics of what’s included in this week’s Catholic Wife, Catholic Life Newsletter. 🌸 I share these every Monday and they always include: two gluten-free recipes, a reflection & prayer based on Sunday’s Mass readings (this week, it’s about becoming more childlike in our trust in Him), and links to budget-friendly fashion & home decor - including Catholic pieces. 🌸 You can sign up through a link in my stories and on my blog.

Every year for our anniversary, we have a Mass sai

Every year for our anniversary, we have a Mass said for us in the chapel where we were married. We try to have it done around our actual anniversary date. This year, it’s today. ❤️🙏 We love that Chapel.

We used to travel a lot but we’re now we’ll-ve

We used to travel a lot but we’re now we’ll-versed in the stay-cation 😉😁 And an early morning backyard fire felt just like that. John-Paul started this for us around 7:30 this morning and we had our coffee by it with some Michael Buble playing in the background. ☕️☕️☕️ Is there anything you love to do at home to make time together extra special?

Is it time?? 🎃

It felt perfect today to be reminded in the daily Mass readings to do small things with great love while we also just announced the next novena to someone who knows a lot about that kind of thing: St. Therese of Lisieux. // Her novena starts next Wednesday with @praymorenovenas 🌹🌹🌹

“We make a mistake if we think that because Mary

“We make a mistake if we think that because Mary is the Mother of God that this somehow meant that she escaped the more painful experiences of life. In fact, it is better to think that because of the depth of her relationship with Christ, the sad facts of life were enhanced for her rather than dulled. She experienced life knowing the full cost of humanity’s refusal to love, and saw for herself the terrible cost in the manner that her beloved Son suffered and died.“All the while in the midst of the pain filled way of the cross she trusted that God was present, even if such a presence could not be felt or offered little in the way of relief or consolation.“Like the Mother of God, the events and circumstances of life will offer us not only love, but sorrow. In these moments the witness of the Mother of Sorrows will demonstrate to us that genuine faith is not a merely a comfort, a crutch or a diversion. Faith in Christ does not bring with it exemption from the reality of our existence but grants us access to the divine life in all things- even suffering and even death and it is through precisely these experiences that we learn the extremity of true love.” (Fr. Steve Grunow, Word on Fire)

This picture of Jesus carrying the cross is one of

This picture of Jesus carrying the cross is one of my favorite statue depictions of Him doing so; at the very bottom, there’s a Latin inscription that translates to “Lift up your hearts.” A reminder that death does not win — that death is not the end. And maybe, perhaps too, that the little deaths we suffer along the way will be redeemed. // today is the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. 🙏
