Good morning, friends. ❤️ Many of you have asked about my hip replacement on Monday. I was born with hip dysplasia, which means that my femoral head is not in my hip socket like it needs to be. For years, it has been rubbing away all the cartilage between my femoral head and my hip socket. These past two years I have started to limp bad, and the pain became intolerable. Driving was painful, and I really had no mobility. I was feeling like I was in my 70s, not my 40s. I am so grateful for my amazing surgeon down at Penn Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia. From start to finish, the Lord blessed me with the most thoughtful and caring nurses, doctors and staff. I’m happily home and adjusting to what life will be like over the next few weeks. Thank you for all your well wishes and prayers. I truly have felt them. I am embracing my #wordoftheyear COURAGE with every stair I climb. ❤️🙌🏽👊🏼 #livingwithhipdysplasia #pain #courage #faith #catholicmom

Bedtime was hard tonight. Trying to mentally prepare myself for major surgery while holding scared and crying little ones is never easy. It tears at my heart to know that I am bringing them pain. They understand but they still will miss their mom. Tomorrow will be tougher for them. So a little dry erase note of encouragement, lots of sugar treats and no schoolwork this week will distract their little minds from the worry and the fear. We hold fast to verses like this: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. All your ways be mindful of Him, and he will make straight your paths”- Proverbs 3:5-6 We trust in His plan. We trust and hope in His promises to always be with us. I can walk into the unknown because He goes before and with me. ❤️🙌🏽 I am never alone. He alone knows what my whole healing needs. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to our family with prayers. It is in times like these that we truly witness the body of Christ...a community of believers who pray for each other. Keep them coming as we tackle this surgery tomorrow and all the recovery in the upcoming weeks. #livingwithhipdysplasia #surgery #proverbs #faithblogger #catholicmom

Life is precious. ❤️ We March for those who can’t......the women who feel like they have no other choice and the precious babies who don’t get a choice. #whywemarch #marchforlife We fight for those who can’t. I teach my children that we need to be aware of those who need your voice.

“Let me take this picture of this mother-daughter moment”....these words from my son, shouted from our upstairs balcony with his iPhone in hand, resonated with my heart this morning. ❤️ Yes....I want to cling to these moments! Soak them up. Be present to them as much as possible. Part of preparing for my upcoming surgery is preparing those people around me for the inevitable change in our home dynamic. I’m stealing pockets of time to homeschool and cuddle. I’m making favorite meals and grabbing treats. Showing my love in all the tangible ways I know how. Trying to flood their little minds and hearts with my comfort and affection. I know in a few short days the pain I endure will make these moments too painful. As God restores us, both physically and spiritually, He looks to deepen our relationship with Him as well. We need to be firmly rooted in trust and faith in His plans for us. I trust that He desires this healing for me. However, I know restoration, for all of us, is more than just surface work. Its more than a working hip. It’s the work of the heart as well. Restoring our hearts in Him. I look forward to these pockets of comfort and solitude He will bring me into over the next few weeks. In the story of the ten lepers, they all knew they received healing but one chose restoration as well. He chose to be in relationship with the Lord...it started with returning to the healer in thanksgiving and gratitude. He wanted more for Himself than just a physical healing. He knew Jesus could offer him more. He wanted to be whole. ❤️ Lord, make me whole.

Stealing moments. ❤️Car rides. Morning Mass. Lunch dates. Running errands. Drop offs to activities. Hanging at the house. Chasing time. 💚Taking selfies. Having inside jokes. Blasting their songs and trying to sing along. Laughing at funny stories and making fun of their dumb jokes. Crying over their hurts. Listening to their frustrations and helping them find “their voice”. These are the moments they will remember. The quiet moments of “us”. 🥰 #momlife #momblogger

I believe.....😂😂 I believe you are going to help me keep a cleaner house because you are getting into everything! Lol... #puppylife #puppy #momblogger
