[UPDATED] We finally figured out the phone thing with our LAST child (moral: don’t be like us)
With eight children, you would think we would have figured out the phone thing before now.Â
We tried so many things—but when it came to needing a phone for Caroline, we were still stumped. She is the youngest we have ever considered getting a phone for, but with her recently being accepted to a youth orchestra as a cellist, she needed a way to reach us when she is at rehearsals.
After more research, we have finally found a solution!
How to Read our NEW Wordless Book
My newest Catholic children’s book is…wordless!

Highly recommend–helped me reclaim short car time I would have wasted
We moms & dads spend a lot of time driving for pick-ups and drop-offs, not just actually driving but also sitting in the car waiting….and sometimes waiting and waiting.
I found that the last swim meet weekend was made very valuable to me by listening to the short saint talks in this new online series. In fact, I took NOTES on many of the talks–they were that good.Â

[Interview] New pre-reader: Inspired by our puppy, rubber ducks, and wordless books!
Our NEW picture book is arriving this week from the printers!
We are so excited to unveil something unlike anything we have ever done!
While I knew I wanted to create another Sacred Art book in the future (it’s underway!), I was looking for something a little different to work on leading up to Christmas…
Don’t have time for a marriage retreat? Neither do we (so here’s an idea)
While running a family business and raising 8 children, it seems like life is always “too busy” for something like a marriage retreat.Â
Even with just a few kids left at home, growing demands of the business, grandbabies wanting to visit (yay!), and daily life mean that a traditional weekend marriage retreat is probably not happening for us during this stage of life.
So this is what we are doing for our marriage this month.
