Latte and Laundry: A home for Catholic women, moms, and hearts + encouragement for your mighty motherhood

God gives us the opportunity to give him our fiat hundreds of times each day. Mary gave us the most perfect example of a humble, tender, and trusting fiat when she accepted God’s will for her life when The Annunciation took place. Yet, this was not Mary’s only “Yes” that she presented to our Lord. No, in fact Mary ‘s whole life was one long fiat where she lived out a perfect acceptance of and cooperation with God’s plans.
We too have the opportunity to present our Lord with our fiats on a daily basis and parenthood simply provides us with an even greater exponential level of opportunities to give our yes, and to cooperate with gods plans for our lives.
Hope you all have a blessed week!!!

63. Homeschooling Journey

I have recently received a number of questions from listeners around my own personal homeschooling journey with my children. So I wanted to take the time to share my experience and what has worked well for our family.
But friends, please remember that God’s perfect design for each of us, our children, and our homes is uniquely crafted for our families. Though I love to share my own wonderful experience, my greatest advice is to pray over what God desires for your family and your schooling plans, let Him take the lead and trust that He is the perfect Father who is holding you in his hands no matter which way he takes you!!!
At the end of the day my goal is not to raise the most successful children, but to cultivate a family culture of love, adventure, curiosity, and exploration! I want them to be firmly grounded in God’s love through the expression of our familial love, so that they will become critical thinkers and love multipliers!
Thanks for continuing to journey along side me on this adventure of stilling our souls in Christ! It is such a treat for me to be here with you. Hope you all have a blessed week !!!

65. Don't Be the Accuser

“You must avoid not only blaming others, but also blaming yourself. You are inclined to blame yourself for the difficulties you experience in relationships. But self-blame is not a form of humility, it is a form of self-rejection, in which you ignore or deny your own goodness and beauty” - Henri Nouwen
The enemy who goes by many names, such as the Liar, the Deceiver, or the Prince of Darkness, often goes by another name. In fact, we must be careful to refuse his attempts to work through US to fulfill this ugly and dangerous role - the Accuser.
Most of us know that we are called to love and will the good of those which God has placed in our path; our children, spouses, and the people in our lives. Yet, oftentimes we become so consumed with the weight of playing a role in forming our children that we end up becoming more critical and judgmental than we are called to be. The enemy knows how much we love our children, so he begins to use fear, worry, and control to deceive us into becoming the accuser in their lives.
But the enemy is ever more sneaky when he climbs through the back door of our hearts through our own self-doubt and self-shame, making us the darkest accusers of our own souls! We don’t recognize him, and in turn end up denting our own God-given goodness and beauty.
We must be on guard to reject the Father of Lies and instead allow Love and Truth HIMSELF to consume our hearts!
Blessings to you all, my sweet friends!
