Dropped them at a back-to-school prep thing and ha

Dropped them at a back-to-school prep thing and had about 5 heart attacks about covid, separation, random-mom-fears but also grateful for an easing in, learning to cope with a mask, and being loved by teachers I trust. Guys, this school year is so hard for everyone: teachers, admin, parents, staff, and our sweet little kiddos. Let’s just go easy on everyone (searching for chocolate in the freezer) and do lots of breathing. Whether you’re distance, hybrid, home, in a building, it’s all a lot. #nellmuses 🍀🎢🤦‍♀️

If your best Sunday life doesn’t include play mo

If your best Sunday life doesn’t include play mobiles are you even living? Lots of people have had a hard covid quarantine pandemic life that may seem frivolous to you or not *bad enough* to constitute suffering so this is my daily reminder to treat your neighbor with love and kindness because you don’t know the battles they’re fighting. I’m sure a saint said it much better but you’re stuck with #nellmuses #bissisterhood

A dear friend dropped off some baby things she had

A dear friend dropped off some baby things she had borrowed and we talked from our respective distances. Her 9 month old SO big since we last saw him and these kids so much bigger too. Time has stood still and accelerated in unusual ways during Covid. I’m trying not to take any of their gangly-limbed nonsense for granted as school starts in a few weeks and, God willing, the oldest three will be tucked into the building. #nellmuses #beforetheboyshiteachother

My devo today is about one of those awful pockets

My devo today is about one of those awful pockets of complete isolation, anger, and despair I’ve fallen into throughout life. Specifically, while I was engaged (wonderful but in some ways hardest year of my life—lived two time zones apart, planning wedding in a third location, fighting about dumb stuff like napkins for cocktails). Maybe you’re there or you’ve been there or someone you love is in that place. The wounded Sacred Heart beats and bleeds right alongside you, sister. #bissisterhood #catholic

Hyperemesis is a weird way to go through pregnancy

Hyperemesis is a weird way to go through pregnancy. I’ve done it with the other four kids, but each time it offers unique challenges. I’m 14 weeks and haven’t gained any weight (or lost which is amazing!), but thanks to leftovers from the last babe, I already looked pregnant so ... the kids pat my belly all day long. Food and energy and liquids are limited but my time near my bathroom is abundant! My spirits are stable and medications work some times! I only have 6 months to go, and we can do anything for love for such a short duration. Right?? #selfpeptalk #hyperemesisgravidarum

We’ve primarily swapped back the dining room to

We’ve primarily swapped back the dining room to a sewing masks center so the kids’ summer (home) school books are out away with one notable exception. I LOVE this religion textbook for grade schoolers and it’s giving so much life to our little religion morning studies. @sophiainstitute makes beautiful books and the Spirit of Truth curriculum is no exception. Grateful for this copy they sent, review is my own. Swipe for details ➡️➡️ #homeschoolerskinda #religiontextbook
