All About Us

Hi, y'all! Welcome to my humble little blog!

I am a 40's something (almost 50 now) mama of two wonderful young adults here on earth. Of course, I would say that, since I am their mama. 

I have a son, Michael, and a daughter, Therese. Our house was once filled with dolls and toy guns but now it's filled with hair accessories, nail polish, outdoor gear, video games, and college books. Gone are the days of pigtails and imaginary friends! Time has flown by much faster than I had thought it would. I miss my sweet little ones but am thrilled to see the amazing young adults they have become. I am now a retired homeschooling mama, and both my kids are in college. 

I am still a pet mom to an adorable black Labrador, a red fox Labrador Retriever, 3 mischievous and demanding cats (and any stray that may appear), and 24 hens. I'm also a grandma to an adorable black and white kitty.

I am a cradle Roman Catholic. Yes, I attended Catholic school, heck I even attended an all-women's Catholic college. Passing on my faith to my children is important to me. I currently teach first-grade Sunday school classes at our church.

Before the kids came along, I worked with clothes. I even designed and created a few wedding gowns! I was once an NYC diva, but now I am a country girl all the way!

What do I do now?

I am a homemaker...a domestic engineer.

What does that mean?

It means I do everything. I cook, clean, do laundry, drive people here and there(not too much anymore, since they both drive), and raise my little heathens...oh, I mean saints! Even though they are older, they still need some guidance every now and then.

I am trying to raise my teens in our faith as best as I can. Some days I feel like I am failing! Other days, I feel like I have it all figured out, but then reality sets in.

We used to spend our days homeschooling, exploring the nature God has given us, and trying to make sense of this crazy world we live in. They now spend their days studying and working, and we all are still trying to figure this crazy world out.

We love learning through everyday lessons.  I am just a regular mom trying to figure life out while growing stronger in my faith.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,
Monique
