I’m a Catholic wife, mama to 4 on earth and 4 in Heaven, a second generation homeschooler (we are just starting our 10th year of homeschool!) a special needs advocate, and a Catholic speaker, writer and encourager.

My husband Peter and I share openly about our youngest son, Beckett, who was born in 2019 with Down Syndrome and a serious heart defect. Beckett’s short life of 18 months changed our family forever, along with thousands around the world who followed Beckett’s story. Caring for a special needs child and walking through grief and child loss helped me see motherhood and the Catholic home through a new (eternal) lens. It prompted me to found my ministry for moms in 2021: MOTHER & HOME.

Since losing our son, our marriage has gone through hell and back, and Peter and I hope our story will encourage you that God can redeem even your worst nightmares or most hopeless moments in marriage. His grace is powerful.

Holistic wellness and natural healing have become so important to me as I’ve battled miscarriages, secondary infertility, PCOS with insulin resistance, and adrenal/hormone issues. I’m no expert but I love sharing what I’m learning.

My prayer is that my little spec of IG will encourage you in your own motherhood and homemaking. I just want to wrap you in a hug and make sure you know how loved you are and how WORTHY your life and work is.

Love y’all!
