    Motherhood + Holiday Magic

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I love this time of year more than any other. I look forward to this particular stretch for months, such that when it does finally arrive most years, I’ve perhaps overplayed my enthusiastic hand just a tad.…

    A Cross of Splinters

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I was going to double down on Lent this week. I had big plans, flush with grace from surviving Palm Sunday’s armed liturgy, sweating with the exertion of having spent 90 minutes sit-stand-and kneeling + slapping palm…

    An Advent bucket list for busy (tired) Catholic families

    By Jenny Uebbing

    We try to communicate the “not-yet-ness” of Advent to our kids without totally squelching the pleasant, anticipatory joy of Christmas on the near horizon, and I think we’ve achieved a moderately sane balance, though I’m sure we…

    Have yourself a very little Advent

    By Jenny Uebbing

    In past years, in my enthusiasm to be liturgically aware and impart said knowledge to my offspring, I think perhaps I’ve been a little intense in the Advent department. We had a rigorous (laughs softly and stares…

    Liturgical living for the lazy mom

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Hey, do you have a kid or several and are trying to raise them Catholic and sort of had no idea, when you were growing up, that there were liturgical seasons, let alone an entire liturgical calendar…

    Coffee Clicks {September 29th}

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Hey it’s Michaelmas. Which means you can totally get away with ordering chicken wings for dinner and calling yourself a liturgical boss. (Just don’t skip on the diablo hot sauce.) This past week felt so heavy in…

    The Franciscan Option

    By Jenny Uebbing

    (By Franciscan I’m referring to Franciscan University of Steubenville and not the venerable religious order, about which I know less.) It looks a little like the Benedict Option, actually. Could also probably be called “The FOCUS option” or “The…

    Let him wash your feet

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Today Lent is over, but Easter has not yet arrived. We enter into the Triduum, the holiest part of the Christian year, the 3 day climax of the liturgical season that bridges the impossible gap between Lent…

    Into the desert that is your actual life

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Lent is upon us. A cursory social media scroll reveals the imminence of this penitential season, even as the shamrocks and easter eggs lining my supermarket shelves insist otherwise. “Nothing to see here, grab an armful of those 70% off valentines…

    Silver linings of a small budget Christmas

    By Jenny Uebbing

    All around us there is a rushing, frenetic, pulsing energy that seems to gather steam as the weekends roll by. In kid-time, 3.5 weeks out from Christmas is basically an eternity, still. In parent-time, however, it might as…
