Welcome!

“The Christmas story has an unconventional hero — not a warrior, not a worldly conqueror, not an individual at all, but rather a family.” + Scott Hahn, Joy to the World

🌲 GIVEAWAY! 🌲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Advent is such a beautiful time to prepare our hearts and our homes for Christ’s birth at Christmas. It’s also an ongoing challenge to combat the consumerism and commercial Christmas happening all around us, in favor of a more meaningful and peaceful time to prepare for the birth of our Savior. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I teamed up with some of my friends to give one winner a bunch of beautiful & Christ centered gifts that can help you prepare your heart & your home for Christmas. What we’ve put together includes a $50 credit for beautiful Catholic jewelry, a seasonal botanical print, a gorgeous jute bag & homemakers litany, fun seasonal stickers, and two of our favorite books that can help point you and your family toward Christ this time of year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TO ENTER: 1️⃣ Like this photo 2️⃣ Follow these accounts: @emilybhannon @thelittlecatholic_ @theologyofhome @katherineocello @roseharringtonart @pax.valerie 3️⃣ Tag your friends in the comments! Each friend tagged in a separate comment is an additional entry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Giveaway closes on Friday, December 6th at 11:59 PST. Open to USA residents only and must be 18+ to enter.

Advent is really something special. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, there’s something so beautiful about the waiting, the preparing for Christ’s coming. How we pray, what we read or watch, how we decorate, what we wear, what we eat, it all changes to help us prepare for Jesus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having Gianna this year, we’re trying to be really intentional with how we are preparing our hearts for Christ at Christmas, and with establishing some special family traditions. I want to invite Christ into every aspect of our family’s life. As a domestic church, He is at the center! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I read somewhere a couple years ago about doing some sort of Advent calendar with Christmas books and I saw a lot of friends on here do just that! I think it’s such a beautiful way to spend time with family as we move through the season of Advent. So, as a new mama, I’m here to ask you for your FAVORITE books for this time of year. I’m a sucker for classics and I love beautiful, hardcover (aka durable) children’s books. PLEASE share your favorite Christmas books below so I can add them to our list! I tagged some friends who I thought could help, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, if your like me and always keeping an eye out for beautiful AND meaningful Christmas gifts I encourage you to check out @petitefleurearrings — Nina makes incredible earrings that make the perfect gift! Or, you can always treat yourself. 😉 You can use the code Katherine15 for 15% off through December 7th! She just revealed her December collection and it is SO festive & beautiful!

“Therefore you also must be ready; for the Son of man is coming...” Matthew 24:44 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy first Sunday of Advent! I am beyond excited to begin preparing my heart & home for the birth of Christ, Our Savior.

Clinton Falls, feeling a little more like Bedford Falls with the store fronts decked out for Christmas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you’re all enjoying a restful weekend with your loved ones. I’m thankful for you & your presence here. It really is a wonderful life.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." Chronicles 16:34 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankful for a lot this year, most especially that little turkey in my arms. Also for daddy / daughter matching bows + ties. 😍 Happy Thanksgiving from our little fam!
