Ramblings on Catholic Life

By Lauren | Published October 16, 2013

In 2009, my husband and I entered the Catholic Church. It’s been a really interesting (amazing, bittersweet, odd at times) journey. I was raised Baptist, and attended a variety of evangelical churches in high school and college. I even went to an evangelical college.

Favorite Baby Stuffs

By Lauren | Published October 15, 2013

We haven’t bought much yet – the crib, changing table, a bunch of clothes, some blankets, a tub, a travel bed and bassinet (though I might be getting a different one). We’re waiting until after the baby shower to buy most of the furniture. But I can’t help but pick up small, cute things along […]

Who Are You?

On Where I Ramble On High School, Glee and Justice

By Lauren | Published October 8, 2013

So, you’re probably going to make fun of me, but I watch Glee. I like it, I like that it rings true to what I took out of my own high school experience, even though my experience was twelve years ago. No, I wasn’t slushied and I really wasn’t made fun of, in fact I […]
