Here’s a look into my son’s nursery, which was in our very first apartment as a family. This frigid weather and the wintry mix in the forecast for tomorrow reminded me of the whole week in 2016 that I had off of work because of the snow and all of the subsequent melting then refreezing cycle. (I worked at a high school previously and all the closures were gloooorious. 😜) That week we painted this room and I nested like crazy (he wasn’t born until a week later). This room was such a special space. I am seriously considering to recreate it for the kids in our new home because 1) that blue is so good and calming, and 2) the two-tone paint for the walls was so much fun to design the rest of the room with. Share your child/ren’s nursery by tagging #spaceandfaith! Would love to see and hear stories on why it’s such a special place!

#spaceandfaith • #thishouseyourebuilding photo by @katfinney 🌿 . I’m a fan of the minimal styling here. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Code of Canon Law in a home before, so it was awesome to see this. I love the stand-alone look of these three big (figuratively) books.

Frodo was now safe in the Last Homely House east of the Sea. That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, ‘a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.’ Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness. —J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring. ___ I just love this quote so much. And I am constantly praying and challenging myself to cultivate the same environment within my own home so that my family and I, and whoever enters our home, may experience such curing capabilities. The world can be harsh and cold. Being home shouldn’t be. When more and more homes foster this I am certain the world can be a better place. It all starts at home. 🏠 • Print is available in my shop.

I have always loved this simple and powerful prayer. And how short and sweet for our little ones to learn. 💙 Mother Angelica said it’s very simple, but carries so much weight. If you haven’t already, consider adding this prayer to your others ones, particularly since this month is dedicated to the souls in purgatory. This is a special way we, church militant, here on earth can unite ourselves to the church penitent. Our prayers do not go unheard.▫️ I added a phone wallpaper you can screenshot of this image in my stories/highlights. #soulsinpurgatory #allsouls #churchpenitent #churchsuffering #churchmilitant #mementomori

The family is the first essential cell of human society. —Pope St. John XXIII ____ #domesticchurch #catholicfamily #popejohnxxiii

Now this is what I call a dreamy and faith-filled play room. 😍✨💗 Especially love what makes up that bottom shelf! #spaceandfaith #catholichome #domesticchurch ___ Thanks for sharing, @fraziereverafter!

The family finds in the plan of God the Creator and Redeemer not only its identity, what it is, but also its mission, what it can and should do. The role that God calls the family to perform in history derives from what the family is; its role represents the dynamic and existential development of what it is. Each family finds within itself a summons that cannot be ignored, and that specifies both its dignity and its responsibility: family, become what you are! (Familiaris Consortio, 17) + Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us! #feastday #jp2weloveyou

Today was a great day, so great that I actually felt pulled to write a blog post about it, titled “Through The Father’s Eyes.” Link in bio. 💛 On another note, it was neat visiting this local farm, which is owned by a Catholic family! #domesticchurch #supportlocalfarmers

Happy feast of St. Teresa of Avila! May quotes such as this one help us remember that even in our cooking and cleaning we are given opportunities to grow deeper in our love for Christ and others. __ This 5x7 print is available in my Etsy shop! Buy it to hang in your own kitchen or for a friend. 💕 Link to shop in bio. _________ #feastday #saintteresaofavila #doctorofthechurch #catholicartisans #illustratedfaith #domesticchurch
