Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Sorrows, commemorating the suffering of Mary, the mother of Jesus. While this is a long-standing devotion in the Roman Catholic Church, it only popped up on my radar while I was preparing for my marriage four years ago.

One of my favorite things that has happened since my daughter has hit the two year mark is the fact that “going for walks” no longer means me pushing or pulling her the whole way in some sort of wagon…
If the previous two years look a little sparse, that is largely because I decided to take this blog in a different direction. So today I renamed it, and took down a number of posts that did not seem to make…
