Happy All Saints Day!💞 may my little holy family be inspired by THE Holy Family all the days of their lives.

We are all called to be Saints. I remember learning who the Saints were for the first time - it wasn’t until graduate school - and it changed my life. Ordinary people who loved God and continued turning back to Him. It’s not something unattainable. We don’t have to have perfect pasts or achieve perfect lives at all. Love God & others in every small ordinary moment & continue turning back to Him every time we get off track. So let’s be Saints!

All the Holy Saints in Heaven, pray for us!!🙏🏼

We LOVE October!🎃💀🍂

As a kid, I always dressed up & went trick or treating with friends and family for Halloween. I didn’t think any more deeply about the day than candy + costumes.

As I became a parent and desired to live a Christ-centered life, I wasn’t sure how to navigate Halloween after hearing some things that concerned me. I hated to make a choice out of fear but I basically avoided Halloween for the first two years of Orly’s life because I didn’t feel confident or knowledgeable enough to feel peace about celebrating.

As time went on, I asked more questions & dug for answers. I consulted wise faithful friends & mentors to see how they approached Halloween and what they thought about it all. That’s when I began learning about the Catholic roots of Halloween!

Over the past two years, Halloween has become one of our kids favorite holidays (& ours too!) and now we lean in fully. Halloween is a holy day, actually a holy few days! I can’t believe I went my entire life without knowing the beauty of this upcoming feast.

So we’ll be celebrating hard! Cosumes & candy AND Mass, prayers, cemeteries & skeletons. Has anyone else felt confused about how to embrace Halloween as a Christian? Share in the comments & I’ll share more this week too!🙏🏼

More important than a date night:
- Greeting one another with warmth and affection
- Acknowledging one another before jumping into the day when the alarm goes off
- A look of admiration
- A text of appreciation
- Gratitude for the expected tasks
- A compliment when it’s least expected
- A gentle touch on the back when you walk by
- Making them laugh
- A long affectionate hug or kiss
- A back or foot rub
- Asking, “what do you want tonight to look like” after the kids are in bed
- A handwritten note to find
- Turning on the shower so it warms up for them in the cold winter
- Turning on the air conditioning in the car a few minutes before they need to leave in the hot summer
- Asking, “can I get you anything?”
- Sending a flirty text or look across the room
- Sharing one win with one another each day
- Preparing their morning coffee or tea
- Refilling their water when you see it empty
- Dancing in the kitchen

Go on date nights too, yes of course. We all love a good date night. Yet don’t wait for those moments to impact your marriage in a profound and positive way.

Yesterday a friend asked my perspective on merging our worlds as professionals & as mothers. Basically she asked, “is it unprofessional to mix babies and business?”

Of course babies and business can’t always go together. I do not have my children present in client sessions because it wouldn’t be appropriate and I wouldn’t be able to do my job well. Yet there is so much of my work that I can involve them in. They come to meetings & luncheons. I often have babies strapped to me during speaking engagements & archdiocese events. Places that would typically be adult only, I don’t hesitate to bring them along with me.

This friend mentioned that she never saw anyone own motherhood and work TOGETHER. That comment instantly made me realize why it comes so naturally to me.

My mom owned it. She worked in an industry that was male dominant and women were hardly accepted let alone children. Yet she boldly brought me along. I went to business dinners, went on business trips, hung around her office, left notes for her colleagues, modeled for her advertisements & was involved in so many other ways. All throughout my entire childhood.

There was no space for children in her work, yet she made space. She owned both of her roles and found a way to bring them together as often as possible. I didn’t see her work as separate from her motherhood because I was there. Her work was my life too. There was very little separation. And I loved it!

It was an amazing conversation both with my friend and then with my mom afterwards. I am so grateful for her boldness & confidence in prioritizing both career and motherhood. It absolutely shaped my perspective on babies and business without me even realizing.

I LOVE my roles as mother & business owner. It’s a gift to bring my kids along with me as often as possible. Curious y’all’s thoughts about this!

Does it feel hard to be a professional and a mother at the same time? How can we all be confident and bold in living a fully integrated life where both can co-exist? Share examples where it’s gone well or where you struggled to figure out how!! Let’s chat about it, I’ve really enjoyed this conversation over the past 24 hours.

Did you know the birth control pill is classified as a carcinogen? I wish someone had told me that many years ago. It’s objectively bad for your body. Not to mention the spiritual reality and impact on the marital union … no bueno.

Good news - we have something WAY better than artificial contraception.

Natural family planning is effective for avoiding pregnancy AND a healthy supportive option for your body AND allows a married couple to be fully united, open to life and a true gift to one another. Win win win.

Shoot me an email to learn more about making the switch from the pill to NFP!
