Each post is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the sacred in the stories we read (with kids, with students, with each other—and sometimes just for ourselves). From saints to storybooks, pop culture to the Apostle Paul, there’s always something to wonder about here.

What you’ll get:

Thoughtful reflections on books, faith, and imagination
Catholic feminism with heart and brains
Children’s literature, liturgical living, and the occasional Paddington cameo
A growing community of readers who believe stories still matter

This Substack explores where Catholic tradition meets feminist reflection. It’s a space shaped by wonder—by the stories that form us, the books we carry from childhood to adulthood, and the surprising grace of pop culture along the way.
