Reflections on everyday daddy stuff
This Sunday the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Christ the King. This is the bookend to the Liturgical Calendar. We begin the year with Advent announcing the comings of Christ (as a child, and at the end of time) and we end with this… Continue Reading “Kingship – Who Reigns in Your home?”
Four years ago, my wife and I made one of the best choices of our lives. This choice was not easy, but it brought about peace. This choice cost us, but it gave us rest and safety. It was an investment that will help… Continue Reading “Our Sacred Sanctum – Home”

There is something so exciting about sitting around with my kids and introducing… Continue Reading “Board Games – 5 reasons why you should play with your family.”
The last few months have been filled with tons of discernment, choices, and changes. Our family has been moving at the speed of light, or at least it seems that way. Claire is now going to first grade and Cecilia turned two. This past… Continue Reading “The Last Few Months: Pt. 1 – Another New School”
