A Little Flower Grows

Catholic Lifestyle Blog

A Few Changes around Here

February 19, 2016

As you can tell, I’ve made a few changes here on the blog ~ and I am so excited about them!

As I’ve gotten more and more into blogging over the last year with “Vita Bellissima,” and now as I have plans and dreams to grow my blog even more, I decided it was time to do some revamping! So first off, I renamed my blog, and it’s now called “Sincerely, Stephanie” ~ something a bit more personal, easily identifiable, and in English (ha!). Secondly, I invested in a blog template design, which is what I’m most excited about! It’s simple, clean, and cute, and fits my style and my blog quite well.

I’ve also decided to narrow the focus of my blog a bit, while still leaving it versatile and not constricted to just one or two topics. So as you can see under the title, the main focuses of my blog will be God, college, travel, and life:

  • God:  I’m a Catholic, and as such faith and prayer are the most important things in my life ~ so naturally I love to write about anything related to them.
  • College:  As a college student, I hope to write more about college-related topics, such as study strategies, tips and tricks for students, and college life in general. 
  • Travel:  Since travel is such a significant and exciting thing for me, I plan to continue writing about my travel experiences, as well as about any tips or recommendations I come up with along the way. 
  • Life:  This is a more general category that will encompass any miscellaneous topics I decide to write on, such as “currently” posts, style, tea (you better know there are more tea posts coming), or my random musings and reflections.

I hope you like the changes I’ve made around here, and that you’ll stick around as I continue in my blogging adventure! Personally, I can’t wait!

Loves to all my dear readers!

Sincerely,
~Stephanie

“The homemaker has the ultimate career. All othe “The homemaker has the ultimate career. All other careers exist for one purpose only - and that is to support the ultimate career.” • A beautiful quote about homemaking from one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis.

Fellow homemakers & mamas, we are not “just” homemakers or “just” stay-at-home moms. We have the most important job in the world: caring for our children & our homes, forming little souls, shaping the next generation, and most importantly, raising future saints. 

It is a privilege and a blessing to have such a job, one that God designed women for in a unique way. May God always give us the we need to do it well. 💕
New mamas, I know how hard the transition can be w New mamas, I know how hard the transition can be when you bring a new baby home. When you feel like you can’t get anything done anymore. Between feeding, changing, and holding the baby, oftentimes there’s no time (or energy) for anything else. And while caring for your baby is of course a worthy job, it doesn’t change the fact that there are things you need or want to do. 

I get it—I’ve been there and still am! But I’ve figured out some hacks along the way that I want to share with you.

So mamas, here are my top 8 tips to get things done, even with an infant in the mix!

1. Prioritize prayer over everything.
2. Make checklists.
3. Prioritize 1-2 tasks for the day.
4. Babywear.
5. Take advantage of small windows of opportunity.
6. Accept help.
7. Practice teamwork with your spouse.
8. Go easy on yourself.

Read all the details in my newest blog post! Link in bio. And always remember mamas, you’re doing a great job, and God chose YOU to be the mother of your baby! There is no greater mother for your baby than you! 💗

What are your best tips for keeping up with tasks after a baby? Let me know in the comments!
One of my favorite quotes about motherhood comes f One of my favorite quotes about motherhood comes from my favorite saint (and the namesake of my little babe featured in this video), St. Thérèse the Little Flower: “The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.” Her own mother is also a canonized saint, St. Zélie—so I know Thérèse spoke from firsthand experience! How beautiful that the love in our own motherly hearts is a reflection of God’s love for us! Let’s strive to live up to that reflection, and to follow St. Zélie’s example in our own motherhood and raise wonderful saints.

In 2016, I had the opportunity to spend time in Po In 2016, I had the opportunity to spend time in Poland for World Youth Day in Krakow, including visiting John Paul II’s hometown of Wadowice. What a blessed time it was - I’m still reaping the graces of that pilgrimage four years later. ——
I have soo much love for JP2. He was the pope of my childhood - the first papa from as far back as I can remember. I have so much appreciation for his Theology of the Body that first blew my mind in high school and that I was privileged to study more deeply in college. I love so many of his other writings too, and gosh I just love him in general.
